Back up for sale. Previous deal fell through as buyer could not come up with funds.

Selling my GS SBGC003. I really wish I could keep this one but I recently bought an SBGC249 limited edition chronograph and last week an SBGH257 limited edition hi-beat diver. I came VERY close to listing the SBGC249 instead of this one, that is how much I love this model. However, I figured when finances permit it will be easier to buy another of this model down the line than the limited edition SBGC249.
This is the more desirable version (IMO) with Seiko at the top and the GS logo at the bottom. It is also a later version of the SBGC003 with the cote’s de geneve decoration on the rotor. It is in exceptional condition and I would almost rate it as NOS. These versions are getting harder to get in this condition. I can barely find a mark on it. You can actually see my reflection in the case as I was taking pics with my phone. All functions work perfectly and it is keeping time to within 1 second a day. My price is $3500.00 net to me shipped in the US. International buyers will have to pay actual shipping costs. No trades. PM or text me at 508-918-8022 with any questions.

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
