Opinions frm U on Seiko 7002-7001 MIJ
For comparison purpose w CEO's pic which had sold to a new SC Bro here. :roll:



7002(MIJ) which at that time I am hesitating to get n was "Sold"





This 7002-7001 which I am keen... Wabi Bezel looks ... ...



Description of the Ad as "

A nice original 7002-7001, this is the JDM non export version with the 17 Jewels marking on the dial. Completely unrestored and comes to you as I found it. Dial and hands are original and in excellent shape. Bezel insert is wonderfully aged and wabi'd and rotates as it should.

Crystal has a couple of scratches but usable, crown only screws down with 1 turn, case threads look good so a new crown should make it better and these are readily available. Keeps good time though I have not scientifically timed it, starts right up and has decent reserve, no service history. Case is in very good condition with only minor signs of use."



A NOS 7002-700A for comparsion. Price tag of US$285 for this NOS pc. Worth e "Buy" :?:





What do u guys think after seeing the "Weathered n Wabi" 7002 w a sort of Faded Blue "Wabi" Bezel insert ? Does e 3rd pic of the "wabi" 7002 look like Dark Blue Dial ? Any comments on the Bezel insert ? Come On Guys, shot your worst comments ! I love both Good n Bad opinions ;)

In all honest.... NOS for USD285 is consider reasonable which is not far off today price for a diver.... the 7002 is very underrated actually so from time to time you still can get a good used one for much less..... ;)

Hi Bruthers, thks for chimming. I saw there's quite alot of views on this thread but no much response except a few. Bro. Watchlooker, glad to hear frm u n thks on e pm on 7002. Indeed 7002 is underrated n frankly, I like the rectangluar markers n e No Day indication. It makes 7002 dial cleaner and probably fits "SUS" Motto.



Today, diver's watch is more of a different approach. High depth rating, Case material unlike common Ss or Ti, special treatment or complications in a diver's watch like e Richard Mille's Diver which has 6 digits price tag.



Overall, I'm still thinking if I should hit on e Nos Pepsi 7002. Too bad it doesn't ve any Orig. Papers w it anymore. Watchlooker Bro. Y did u end up selling some of e 7002 away ? Any prob. on spares issues ?



Bro. John, beware of the seller on that cheap 7002. He has alot of Frankenstein watches.



Ah Bro. Aiken, me didn't wack e 2nd pc at $90 frm Technoman. r u referring to his 6139 ?
