OFF TOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY

Description: EXCELLENT condition. Large gold plated watch in great shape. Certainly not used much in 40 years. Mint plus dial just radiates. It is vertically silvered with perfect lum dots at each raised, gold plated indice. They have black on top as do the hands along with the lum. One tiny nick on the lug at 5. Perfect, thin, slightly domed high grade crystal could be a replacement as it is like new. Some faint nicks and scuffs on the bezel which has a polished finish, not brushed like the lug tops. Automatic alarm watches are very hard to make and are very expensive if Swiss. Their movements are very affordable still considering how well they work and their longevity. Good quality, just not highly finished like Swiss movements. Quick set day and date. Inner rotating bezel sets with crown increment for alarm. Small lum dots on dial and some in the hands. You really have to see this dial to appreciate it. On another topic, sometimes new customers ask about repairs for vintage watches we sell and availability of parts. Like this watch, we have quite a few examples in our parts bins of this exact model but with worn out cases or ugly dials or both. I've included a photo of two models which were right on hand. So, it is easy to repair most stuff and get parts. The parts houses actually have a lot on common movements too. On a brand new Hadley Roma 2010 Alligator strap. Take $45 off the price without it. Winding and setting instructions for model 4006-7006. With crown in normal wearing position, wind clockwise to power up the alarm mainspring. Counter-clockwise turning does not wind the movement mainspring. Most Seiko auto's don't wind with the crown at all. It was a marketing decision by Seiko to point out how easily their automatic movements functioned. Pull out crown to first increment and turn counter-clockwise to move rotating inner bezel, setting the alarm time. Pull out one more increment to set watch normally. Pulling out the alarm button makes it ready to go off. Push it in to stop the noise while your business colleagues look quizzically your direction. Push it in harder to quick set the day of the month. The day of the week needs to be set the old fashioned way which is to move the hour hand past mid-night back past nine and repeat. Do this first, with the day of the week and then use the quick set month/alarm button to finish the day of month window. Measures 39 mm wide (not including the crown) x 44 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$319/$274} Item #5978 SOLD
