Condition
This is a 62MAS with big crown. The dial is in good condition, the minute markers are showing some corrosion. The hands are showing corrosion. The dial and hands have NOT been relumed. The crystal is a new old stock from Seiko sourced from Japan. The case shows some scratches and some nicks. The caseback markings are crisp, which is rare to find since these are known to fade over time. The bezel rotates nicely both ways as it should. The bezel insert shows some wear. The watch comes on a new old stock Tropic strap. The watch has undergone a complete strip and service. It keeps time to +/- 1s/day. Honestly, these watches area beautifully made with no plastic in the movement, unlike the later 6309/6306 and thereafter.
