[WTS/WTT] Seiko Ginza, SARB027, Seiko 5, and Caravelle Watches
I have 4 watches up for sale as I clean out my collection after a wedding, as I mostly just wear my wedding watch now. Payment through PayPal G&S. All watches shipped via FedEx 2 day (preferred), and if you want insurance or signature, or a different carrier, please let me know. Shipping is not factored in yet because I want to keep overseas shipping an option. Strongly prefer a sale, but would consider a trade. Nothing specific in mind. Seiko SPB259 - Alpinist “Ginza” Dial - $1200 OBO Link to photos and videos: https://imgur.com/a/0k9ZSEc I was lucky enough to get this directly from Seiko’s website immediately upon release. It’s an incredible dial and great case. I’m selling it because I have a very small wrist (6” / 15cm) and there just aren’t enough micro-adjustments to get a comfortable fit. So, it’s been sitting in a watch case. I’m sad to let it go, but it’s too hot of a piece to sit around. This is one of the lowest prices I’ve seen on this watch, and it’s because this was not an investment piece. I wore this as a daily for a few months. There is some light use to show that. The crystal is in perfect condition. The bezel has a few micro scratches that are only visible in direct sunlight. Most of the wear is on the underside of the bracelet and clasp. The movement is running well and in spec. I don’t have a timegrapher and don’t wear it much anymore, but accuracy was never an issue while I was wearing this daily. While currently sized for my wrist, it comes with all of the links and pins. I am missing one collar for one of the pins, so if you’re trying to size this for an over 7” wrist you may need to source an extra collar. The original box and papers are included, too. Caravelle (Bulova) “Devil Diver” - Sea Hunter - 666 feet - $350 OBO Link to photos and video: https://imgur.com/a/KHXAUvB I have the bezel off of this watch to get the Tudor Ranger / Rolex Explorer vibe. I recently purchased the new Tudor Ranger, so this is redundant. It is smaller and a true vintage piece than the modern Ranger, giving it a lot of vintage character.Pricing this to move. It’s about 25 seconds slow a day so should get a service if you care about accuracy. The crystal has seen better days, too. The handset has lost some of its lume, so parts of the hands are see through, but that is very typical of this watch at this age. Selling it on a Hadley Roma 20mm Black Leather strap. Comes with the dive bezel, which is easily popped on. Seiko SARB027 - $600 Link to photos and video: https://imgur.com/a/QurSNI0 This very rare JDM exclusive model is a beautiful dress watch in a 36mm size. Perfect for small wrists like mine (6” / 15cm), this dial and case are incredible. The high-polished case is lightweight and has a nice exhibition case back. The hands are beautifully finished, too. It is in nearly perfect condition and running within spec. Japanese-made with a 6R15 movement, date complication, and hacking seconds. This comes on an 19mm brown leather strap from Holben’s, in a short length, with a deployant clasp. I have the original bracelet that I will ship with it, but unfortunately I had a sizing mishap and there is a pin stuck in the bracelet that won’t come out. I’ve given up on trying to make it work, but maybe you can take it to your local jeweler for repair. Priced lower than similar models because of the bracelet issue. This is a rare find though, and still a great value for a dress watch of this quality. Seiko SNKD97J1 - Seiko 5 - $95 Link to photos: https://imgur.com/a/lHEAgds I purchased 5 of these as a gift to 4 my groomsmen at my wedding, planning to keep one for myself. While they absolutely loved the gifts, my wedding watch is going to serve the memory just fine. This is brand new, in the box, and never worn. Purchased for $140 on Amazon but too late to return. I’ll let this one go for $95 + shipping.
