Overall Notes: - Cosmetic Condition: B (Worn with visible signs of use, light scratches, and a heavily patinated dial). - The watch is in excellent working condition, with all functions operating flawlessly. - This watch features all authentic, model-correct Seiko components, only the strap and buckle have been replaced.
Operating State: - The movement has been serviced (disassembly, cleaning, lubrication and regulation). - Keeping time precisely. - Hand-winding and hand-setting operate smoothly.
Condition Notes: - Case: shows light age-appropriate wear. The signature King Seiko faceted lugs retain their sharp lines and mirror-polished surfaces, with light handling marks and small nicks on the lug tips and sides. The case back displays surface scratches, but the gold KS medallion and all engravings remain clear and legible. - Dial: has developed a strong, characterful patina. The navy blue sunburst surface shows warm brown toning radiating from the upper half and center, along with fine speckling across the dial and small areas of loss near the outer edge at 9 and between 5 and 6 o’clock. The applied markers and Seiko logo remain bright, and the KS Hi-Beat signature is fully legible. A one-of-a-kind look for collectors who appreciate honest, unrestored vintage dials. - Crystal: No cracks or chips. Minor surface marks from wear are present but don’t affect clarity or dial visibility.
