SOLD: Vintage GRAND SEIKO 6246-9001

[Old Expat Beast]

The first automatic Grand Seiko, the 62GS had a relatively short production span, but is one of the more recognisable and collectible vintage Grand Seiko watches. You can read more about its background, history and design here.



Condition

The case is in very good condition with lines, edges and corners still sharp and intact, and light scratches commensurate with age, suggesting no machine polishing. The caseback and its gold GS medallion are very well preserved, and the acrylic crystal is also in great shape.

The silver-sunburst pie-pan dial and hands are in unusually fine condition, and the clean multi-faceted markers reflect the light brilliantly. Dial printing is extremely sharp, and the applied Seiko and GS logos are still clean and bright.

The very clean 39-jewel movement is running about +4 secs/day in the dial-up position, with strong amplitude.
