My shop name is winebeerglasses, same as my former Etsy shop (see the last image). I have a perfect 5-star customer rating from my buyers at Etsy for five years. I left Etsy because Etsy's customer support is unbearable. I decided to migrate to Bonanza and this is my first listing with Bonanza. I will be moving my watches from Etsy.
I build and restore vintage automatic watches as a hobby using my knowledge in precision engineering and aesthetics. All my watches are freshly lubricated, timegrapher regulated, and cleaned to restore the pleasure of wearing a vintage watch with its full functionalities and timing performance.
I do not use Chinese-made parts, even the spring bars are Swiss Made.
This is one unique Seiko 5 automatic with the 6309 movement. It is considered a railroad workers' model with 24 hours marking around the rim. I refitted a checkered two tone, authentic Seiko bracelet to it to accompy the steel gray dial. The badly scratched crystal was discard and hand fitted with a mineral glass. This hand fitting process is very time consuming and require high precision.
The end result is a nicely restored and upgrade time piece of Seiko's story past, much better than many of its cheap offerings, no longer made in Japan.
It is 36 mm in width and 42 mm lug to lug. The bracelet can only fit up to 6 1/2".
Just a few shakes, it keeps running and keeps very precise time. It has been thorough cleaned and disinfected. It is in wonderfully working condition. Many pictures for you to examine its condition. All original. The stainless steel bracelet is signed and numbered.
As in any vintage watches, keep it from water.
It is medium sized for a classical look, not those outlandish large but cheaply made watches flooding the store.
The sale is final. I will provide three month free repair service. The buyer only one way shipping back to me and I will fix it up and send it back for free.
It is time to wear something different against the onslaught of electronics. In terms of the art of mechanical design, 60s and 70s were the peak. After that, it is all half electronics or full electronics.
