FOR SALE IS A NEAR-MINT FUNKTACULAR 1974 SEIKO 7005-7001 WITH DAZZLING GREEN DIAL AND ONE OF THE COOLEST BRACELETS YOU'VE EVER SEEN.
-
CASE: SNAZZY SOLID STEEL CUSHION CASE MEASURING IN AT 36mm NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 45mm LUG TO LUG. CHECK OUT THAT UNTOUCHED ORIGINAL BRUSHED FINISH ON TOP AND MIRRORED LUGS ON THE SIDES. SOME MINOR NICKS AND HAIRLINES ON THE LUGS, BUT THIS THING IS IN TIP-TOP SHAPE.
-
DIAL: THE PICS DON'T REALLY DO THIS ONE JUSTICE. YOU REALLY HAVE TO SEE THAT GREEN SUNBURST DIAL IN PERSON. IN MORE DIRECT SUN IT'S A STRIKING EMERALD HUE, BUT AS SEEN IN THE LIGHTBOX PHOTOS, IT'S MORE OF A MUTED TONE. I LOVE THOSE HOLLOWED RECTANGULAR APPLIED STEEL MARKERS AND THAT COOL CROSS-HAIRS MOTIF.....ALL TIED TOGETHER WITH THOSE BLUNTED STEEL HANDS WHICH ARE IN SUPER SHARP CONDITION.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS GENT RUNS ON A CLEAN 17J SEIKO 7005A AUTOMATIC. WATCH IS RUNNING NICELY WITH A GOOD POWER RESERVE AND NICE TIMEKEEPING. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH HAS BEEN BEHAVING NICELY OVER WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION.
- WATCH COMES ON WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE ORIGINAL BRACELET. POSSIBLY ONE OF THE COOLEST RENDITIONS OF THE BEAD-O-RICE BRACELET I'VE EVER SEEN. BRACELET CAN EASILY ACCOMMODATE A 6.75" TO 8" WRIST AND HAS A BUILT-IN SPRING-LOADED EXPANSION COMPONENT WHICH ALLOWS FOR MAXIMUM COMFORT(I COULD WAX POETICALLY ABOUT THE BRACELET ALMOST AS MUCH AS I COULD ABOUT THE WATCH). THIS IS A SUPER CLASSY SEIKO CLASSIC IN SHARP SHAPE. THE STYLE AND DESIGN ON THIS ONE RIDES THE LINE BETWEEN ELEGANCE AND 70s FUNK. THIS ONE IS ABSOLUTELY BOSS.
