6117-6400 World Time
I have really been enjoying my Seiko World Time from 1971.
I realized that since I travel alot, GMTs are even more useful to me than "diver" watches I just purchased a Rolex GMT II 16710 pepsi which is incoming. Let's see which watch keeps better time! |

Great piece, serviced and regulated I think the old Seiko could keep up with the Rolex!

Congratulations. I have had several 1960s Seikos that kept perfect time when regulated. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Yes, any watchmaker should be able to do it. You might even try it yourself with the right tools.

I am not sure would worry about those kind of specs. That is actually really good for this movement.

Beautiful watch op! I have owned a few WT's and I love them. Especially the brushed dial variants. Here is a one-off GMT Sea Lord I currently own.
