Good day,
I have a friend, an older gentleman, who knows I collect watches. A while ago he told me he had his old watches somewhere and he wanted to give them to me. He looked for a few weeks but couldn't find them. Two weeks ago he was cleaning out a closet and he found them. When he gave them to me and I saw the Seiko Panda, I suspected it was something special. I did some quick research and confirmed that the Panda had some value and promptly gave it back to him. I told him to put it in his safe deposit box. He was over the moon to find out it was worth some money. He told me that he could really use the money and asked me to sell it for him. He said, from what he can remember, he bought this watch at The Bay about 40 years ago (some time in the 70's) for $250. He wore it to work for about 25 years after replacing it with a Solar Pulsar.
100% of the sale of this watch will go directly to him.
I am terrible with photography. I have done my best to clearly capture the condition and all of the flaws on this watch. The one thing I feel did not show clearly enough is the scratches on the crystal. The scratches are worse than the pictures show.
Please let me know if you need any more pictures or have any questions.
I don't have a ton of action on the forum, mostly purchases but all positive feedback.
Circa 1975
The Good:
All original.
Never Polished.
Original Band.
No Pitting.
Immaculate Dial, Hands and Day/Date.
Everything works including Chrono.
The Bad.
No box, papers or extra links.
Lots of scratches on the crystal.
Very used condition everywhere.
Never serviced.
The owner had a small wrist.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!
$2100 OBO Shipped or FTF in Toronto.
