HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in May 1978. We have also found the same model in the 1978 catalogue, which is good as it shows this model was fitted with a bracelet with the code XGB491 – which matches the numbers on the end piece for this bracelet. It cost ¥55,000 in 1978, and the Grand Quartz started from ¥90,000 (on a bracelet).
CONDITION
This 58KQ is a little slimmer and smaller than most, but the TV design of the case and dial does compensate for that. The patterned dial looks good, but there is a mark under Z of Quartz that we point out in the video and we have taken a photo of this without the hands int he customary ten past ten position, just for clarity. Everything is working correctly, and this one has day and date complications. The day wheel can be in either English or Kanji, and both calendar functions can be quick set. We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The bracelet is full length and easy to adjust, and the clasp is signed KQ too. The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
