FOR SALE IS AN ATHLETIC MAY 1969 SEIKO 5 5126-6010 "PROOF" SPORTS DIVER  IN REALLY SHARP CONDITION WITH RAD ROTATING INNER BEZEL

  • CASE: SEXY AND SOLID ALL STEEL CASE IN EXCELLENT AND UNPOLISHED CONDITION MEASURING 40.5mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 44.5mm LUG TO LUG.  REALLY NICE FINISHING ON THIS ONE MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINAL BRUSHED FACTORY FINISHING ON THE CASE-TOP. SOME MINOR DINGS AROUND THE BEZEL, BUT OVERALL KILLER SHAPE OVER HERE. THIS THING HAS A TOTALLY CHUNKY DIVER FEEL TO IT WITH THOSE HOODED LUGS AND NICE 13mm THICKNESS. THIS ONE EXUDES ATHLETIC PROWESS. 
  • DIAL: WHAT A CHARMER. CHECK OUT THAT MEGA COOL SUNBURST SILVER DIAL WITH PROMINENT APPLIED STEEL MARKERS WITH NICE THICK LUME. SOME COOL PATINA ON THOSE STEEL STICK HANDS. BUT, IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT BLUE/SILVER ROTATING INTERNAL DIVER BEZEL WHICH BRINGS THE PARTY. THAT ORANGE SWEEPER REALLY SEALS THE DEAL. ALL VIEWED UNDER THE ORIGINAL MILDLY DOMED TOP HAT STYLE HARDLEX. 
  • MOVEMENT: THIS SEIKO RUNS ON A BULLETPROOF SEIKO 5126 AUTOMATIC WHICH IS RUNNING BEAUTIFULLY. THE DATE IS QUICKSET BY PUSHING IN ON THE CROWN REPEATEDLY. THE DAY IS NON-QUICKSET. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT THIS ONE IS A STRONG RUNNER. INTERNAL BEZEL IS OPERATED VIA THE CROWN WHEN ITS PUSHED IN.

WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A PERIOD APPROPRIATE BEAR BIG HOLE RALLYE STEEL BRACELET WHICH LOOKS BONKERS COOL ON THIS FIVER. BRACELET IS CURRENTLY SIZED FOR A 7" WRIST WITH 4 ADDITIONAL MICRO-ADJUSTS. THIS ONE IS JUST A TOTAL BLAST TO WEAR. I LOVE THE SUBTLE COLORS, THAT HEAVY-DUTY CASE, AND THAT FUN INTERNAL BEZEL.
