NEVER USE THE TERM NEW OLD STOCK IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE TERM MEANSI never use new old stock if what you are offering is not new as in brand new! new old stock cannot have anything that is worn or not working or shows anything that is not like new… what it means is that it has been in a box or safe or manufacturer warehouse or someone’s safety deposit box or where ever in near mint condition. say the item shows that it was exposed to the sun, it has worn or faded paint, or has anything that shows it was used in any fashion, it cannot be claimed to be nos. . now, a movement cannot be claimed to be original in excellent condition if that movement shows any sign of dirt, rust, or that it requires any cleaning. very simple. most movements need servicing no matter how great they run. how in the hey do they become dirty or worn or stop running? well , when you are a dummy and open one up, and it was running great, you break the seal. now, a watch breaths, that is correct, no matter the seal. duh!!. every time you pull the crown fresh air rushes in. the transfer of hot and cold like weather its self causes dust and particles to enter watch . over a 30 40 50 year it also gathers light moisture. this turns to rust dust and chemicals. this watch is desperately in need of service. look a the old seal? see the oranges dusty stuff????? it is light but there. i cannot believe it was not serviced. you can tell by the very markers and hands that it is a sugar coated time piece no better than a used car on a used car lot all polished up with bright signs, seat covers and a slick as ice salesman pawning it off as like brand new that is only surface rust, will come off with a garden hose… heck just wax her……………………… LATER rock 150, 000 Restoration Photos 24/7/365 |

i am just wondering: i am confused. you have sapphire crystal. i do not recall a quality genuine dive watch having a sapphire crystal.. they shatter too easy. I BELIEVE ONLY HARDLEX WAS USED FOR GLASS AND MOSTLY ACRYLIC FOR PLASTIC.Japan used HARDLEX … even when others used sapphire, Dive manufacturers preferred not to use synthetic sapphire in applications where shatter resistance is important, hence Seiko was still using ‘HARDLEX’ glass long after many began using sapphire in quartz watches in the 1970’s http://forums.watchuseek.com/f281/how-buy-seiko-6217-800x-62mas-diver-collectors-buying-guide-155123.html The most sort-after and collectible Seiko divers watch ARE NEW OLD STOCK. That would be like BRAND NEW. Hence NEW Old Stock. Like found in a safe or in a Manufacturers Storage. “Superb Seiko 6217-8001 Automatic Diashock gents divers watch featuring a black sunburst dial,luminous raised baton hour markers,center sweep seconds,date aperture at 3, “SEIKO AUTOMATIC” at 12, “WATER 150 PROOF, DIASHOCK 17 JEWELS” & JAPAN 6217 -8000T” at 6. Very minor patina on the raised gilt stainless steel baton hour markers & hands as clearly shown in pics..the luminous filling is all in good order. I would state that that is not a patina but that wear from use in ultraviolet rays, “sunlight” wore off the silver coating to the plastic markers revealing the white plastic base. Finished in brushed & smooth steel tones.Yes, but it shows recent high speed buffing wheels with no finish wheeling.. Original stainless steel case-back still with thin plastic film covering it numbered 6513531, well, may be, but the actual blue protective covering was not as thick as what i am looking at. today there is plenty of blue covering. now i cannot tell from picks, yet you have markers and hands that show extensive wearing in sunlight, i mean years of use to make the markers peel off like they have. it takes years of use to do that. l;ook at the 6105 8000 i restored, it went diving from brand new to 1979 when it was used to knock a moray in the head. the owner still received 40 stitches and smashed the crown flooding the watch with salt water. it was thrown into a cooler upon reaching shore and given to me in 2006. the dial is original and markers. look at it. note the markers….so, how did your become peeled if it was nos. The brilliant movement is marked SEIKO 17 JEWELS, 6217A and is in super clean condition. This is a highly renowned automatic movement for both it’s accuracy & reliability. The watch is also known as 62MAS to resemble the “62” Movement-Automatic- Seconds sweep functions.Fully working and keeping excellent time..you do see the rust and dirt no?? it was not serviced and for a NOS watch how come all the rusted metal. granted it is not pitted, but even the rotor screw has light orange around the screw????t
Finding one in fair, all original condition is hard enough as most out there have been refurbished.This is undoubtedly the best you’ll ever find in 100% original condition. It has obviously been handled over the past 50+ years from new but shows minimal signs of this so selling strictly as NEW OLD STOCK! sorry it cannot be new old stock. it can be A 62 MAS in excellent condition, with slightly damaged markers hands movement runs like new but requires servicing and cleaning, strap is after market. illumination is worn and worn down from exposure to the suns ultra violet rays and could use refilling. |
