FOR SALE IS A STRIKING 1970 SEIKO SKYLINER 6100-8000 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH GORGEOUS LINEN DIAL.
CASE: SUPER CLEAN AND SHARP LARGE SOLID STEEL CASE MEASURING A HEALTHY 36.5mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 42mm LUG TO LUG. I LOVE THE ANGULAR AND EDGY DESIGN OF THOSE LUGS WITH THOSE SHARP CHAMFERS. CASE DOES HAVE SOME HAIRLINE SCRATCHES THROUGHOUT AND SOME MINOR DINGS ON THE TOP RIGHT LUG BUT IN OVERALL SHARP CONDITION WITH NO SIGNS OF EVER HAVING BEEN POLISHED.
DIAL: I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I'M A SUCKER FOR A GOOD LINEN DIAL. THIS ONE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. WITH THAT METALLIC SILVER FINISH, THIS ONE IS AN ABSOLUTE STUNNER. VERY SIMPLE AND FRESH LAYOUT WITH JUST THE 2 LINES OF TEXT. THOSE TALL APPLIED MARKERS ADD SOME NICE DEPTH TO THE DIAL. EVERYTHING TIED TOGETHER PERFECTLY WITH THOSE SHARP DAUPHINE HANDS.
MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON A 21JEWEL IN-HOUSE SEIKO CAL.61A MANUAL WINDER. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT THE WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME MONITORED OVER WEEKS OF ON/OFF WEAR
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A COOL MINIMALIST GREY SUEDE STRAP WHICH LOOKS EXTRA GROOVY ON THIS SKYLINER. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS MODEL IS IT COMBINES THE STYLE AND ELEGANCE OF THE EARLY 60s WATCHES IN A PACKAGE THAT WEARS MORE MODERN. YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT 60s SEIKO......OR REALLY SEIKO FROM ANY ERA.
