COMING AT YOU IS A TOUGH JDM 1985 SEIKO 7A38-6030 PVD SPEEDMASTER IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
-
CASE: PVD COATED CASE MEASURING IN AT 37.2mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING CROWNS AND PUSHERS. THIS ONE IS DEFINITELY A FINE WELL PRESERVED SPECIMEN. CHECK OUT THE CONDITION OF THAT PVD FINISH WITH VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF WEAR. I LOVE THAT KNURLED ROTATING BEZEL THAT CLICKS BIDIRECTIONALLY WITH CRISP AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.
-
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. THIS THING JUST FEELS LIKE IT WAS MADE TO BE WORN ON THE BATTLEFIELD WITH THE HIGH CONTRAST AND EXTREME LEGIBILITY. YOU GOTTA LOVE THE CLASSIC 7A38 LAYOUT WHICH IS BOTH BUSY YET HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL AND PURPOSEFUL. THE KANJI DATE WHEEL IS A FUN TOUCH. ORIGINAL GLASS CRYSTAL HAS NO SCRATCHES.
-
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. I WILL NOTE THAT THE BOTTOM RESET PUSHER WILL OCCASIONALLY TAKE AN ADDITIONAL PUSH BEORE RESETTING BUT ALWAYS WILL RESET.
-
THIS COMES MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL 18mm PVD SPEEDMASTER BRACELET IN MINTY CONDITION WITH NO SIGNS OF WEAR IN THAT PVD. BRACELET IS CURRENTLY SIZED FOR A 6.75” INCH WRIST WITH 1 EXTRA MICRO-ADJUSTS TO SIZE UP. I’M INCLUDING A COOL 2 PIECE OLIVE NATO STYLE STRAP WHICH ADDS TO THAT MIL VIBE AS WELL AS A SPRING-LOADED CLASP EXTENDER FOR THE BRACELET TO ALLOW FOR LARGER SIZING. THIS IS 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 TACTICAL CHOPS.
