For your consideration is a bit of a catch & release Grand Seiko SBGX097 featuring Seiko's superb 9F62 thermocompensated quartz movement. For anyone not familiar with these movements and how lovely they are, I've enclosed some reference pages below:

While I am very happy with this watch, I'm hoping to raise funds for another purchase, so its time for it to go. Watch has performed flawlessly while I've owned it, and I would rate it at a conservative 90%, with only the usual flea bits and desk diving marks. Please note: the strap currently on the watch is 1mm small, but does have the original deployment. Apparently the original, 'crocodile' strap was seized at customs.
I have attached specifications and images below. I have references on Watchuseek (as a buyer and seller) and TRF (as a buyer). I would prefer Paypal for this transaction (long-time, confirmed user) and would like to keep all transactions within Canada. Watch is located in Edmonton, Alberta, as am I.
I would like to realize $1500 CAD from this sale (which is a fair bit less than what I paid and should let the new owner purchase a strap of his/her liking).
