HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in December 1976.
CONDITION
There are quartz watches, and there are quartz watches. The Grand Quartz was designed to show off Seiko’s considerable skill in making the highest precision watches, and this model came in at ¥70,000. For comparison, an automatic 6138 ‘bullshead’ chronograph was ¥24,000, so you can instantly see that this was made to a high standard rather than a low price. The case is crisp and shows of the original polished angles well, despite one or two small marks – most noticeably a light scratch on the crown side. The crystal also has a couple of chips around the very edge. The dial is original and very clean, and has the crystal logo above six which is also repeated on the original crown. What is especially nice about this particular example is that the original bracelet is not only still fitted, but a decent length. Most Grand Seiko watches were sold in Japan, and tend to have very short bracelets. But most people will be okay with this one. The quick set day and date is working, if a little sticky on some dates, and the day is in English or Kanji.
