Condition

This is a 62MAS with big crown. The dial is in good condition. The crystal is original and in good shape. The hour markers show some corrosion. The bezel and bezel insert are original and are in great condition.

The case shows some scratches but is in good overall condition. The black dots on the case are weld bits I could not remove. The caseback markings are sharp. The bezel rotates tightly both ways as it should. The watch comes on a new uncle seiko waffle strap. The watch has undergone a complete strip and service November 2018. The original movement was badly worn. The movement was replaced with a higher jewelled 6205B movement while salving whatever from the old movement.
