Seiko Automatic 5 Sports Watch Black M.in Japan - $290 (Sardis)
QR Code Link to This Post
By Serial # manufactured in September 2008, ordered/shipped from Japan in 2010.
The movement is Automatic (self-winding) Twenty-Three Jewels Seiko Time Corp 7S36B, which is (letter "B") the improved version for internal Japan market; these movements been produced since 2006.
The Seiko 5 Sports' accuracy by the specs is +/- 20 seconds per day, AFAIR when I evaluated this piece it performed +10+12 seconds per day.
The case measures approximately 40 mm wide by 13mm thick and is water resistant to 100 meters. This is sufficient for splashes, rain, baths, showers & swimming (shallow diving), but is not recommended for scuba diving.
The stainless steel bezel shows minute numbering and can be one-directional rotated. The gap between the lugs is 20 mm and the bracelet band can be adjusted to fit using the extra links.
I like its particular size, not too bulky as the modern Seiko 5 Sports, and this size (40 mm) is suitable for both men/women. Would be a great add-on to the tactical purposes.
I'm the only owner, purchased it brand-new and wore very occasionally. Otherwise, the watch mostly sat in the cabinet through the years - you see it lumes like crazy (see photo) lightening its logo, i.e. the luminous paint isn't worn by being exposed to the light.
The overall condition is excellent, no deep scratches down to the steel, but rather some very minor scuff on the bracelet. The glass is pristine, the case is near.
It comes with the original box and 2 extra links.
Selling due to "thinning the herd".. have too many.
Paid 500+ Cad in 2010 including shipping/insurance/customs/taxes
Would mail over Canada for $20.
