COMING AT YOU IS A WILD AND TOTALLY MIAMI VICE STYLED 1984 SEIKO 7A38-7100 PVD/GOLD CHRONOGRAPH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
-
CASE: PVD COATED CASE MEASURING IN AT 36.3mm ACROSS BY 42mm LUG TO LUG. THIS ONE IS DEFINITELY A SAFE QUEEN. CHECK OUT THE CONDITION OF THAT PVD FINISH. IT'S LIKE IT HAS NEVER BEEN WORN. EVEN HAS THE QC STICKER ON THE BACK. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU CAN SEE SOME MINOR SURFACE NICKS AND SCRATCHES, BUT OVERALL THIS FEELS LIKE A BRAND NEW WATCH. EVEN THE GOLD PLATING LOOKS BRAND NEW ON BOTH THE BEZEL AND THE CROWN AND PUSHERS.
-
DIAL: JUST WOW!!! THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DIALS THAT YOU HAVE TO SEE IN PERSON TO REALLY GET THE FULL FEEL. THE LEVEL OF FINISHING IS FANTASTIC. I LOVE THAT SEMI MATTE BLACK DIAL WITH THE GOLD TRIM AND SUBTLE GLOSS BLACK ACCENTS. THE ALL BLACK AND GOLD MOTIF FROM THE DIAL TO THE CASE IS JUST A TOTAL FORCE. YOU GOTTA LOVE THE CLASSIC 7A38 LAYOUT WHICH IS BOTH BUSY YET HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL AND PURPOSEFUL. THE ORIGINAL GLASS CRYSTAL HAS A FEW MINOR SCRATCHES BUT OVERALL IN FANTASTIC CONDITION.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS DUDE IS POWERED BY THE IN-HOUSE SEIKO 7A38 QUARTZ CHRONOGRAPH CALIBER, WHICH WAS THE FOLLOW UP TO THE FIRST ANALOG QUARTZ CHRONOGRAPH MOVEMENT EVER MADE....A TECHNOLOGICAL JUGGERNAUT BACK IN THE EARLY 80s. RUNNING ON 15 JEWELS AND HOUSING NO PLASTIC PARTS, THIS WAS A HIGHLY ROBUST AND WELL CRAFTED CALIBER WHICH HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. THIS GUY IS A STRONG RUNNER AND ALL FUNCTIONS WORK AS THEY SHOULD.
- THIS RETRO 2-TONE GUY COMES MOUNTED ON ITS INTEGRATED PVD BRACELET IN MINTY CONDITION WITH NO SIGNS OF WEAR IN THAT PVD. BRACELET IS CURRENTLY SIZED FOR A 7" WRIST WITH 6 EXTRA MICRO-ADJUSTS TO SIZE UP AND REMOVABLE LINKS TO SIZE IT DOWN. THE SIGNED SEIKO SQ IN GOLD ON THE CLASP IS MY FAVORITE DESIGN FEATURE ON THE WHOLE WATCH. THIS IS A SUCH A WONDERFUL WEARING SPORTS WATCH WHICH EXUDES QUALITY. EVERY SERIOUS SEIKO COLLECTOR AND QUARTZ COLLECTOR NEEDS A 7A28 OR 7A38 CHRONO IN THEIR COLLECTION. THIS ONE HAS SOME SERIOUS EARLY 80s DECADENCE AND IS REALLY IN UNBELIEVABLE CONDITION.
