[harlansmart]

Exactly as pictured, 1 x 1978 (JANUARY) DAINI SEIKO 2205-0760 33MM AUTOMATIC PROFESSIONAL 150 BABY DIVERS WATCH

33mm excluding crown guard
37mm overall with crown
36mm with crown guard
38mm Lug ---> lug
13mm thick (wow)

Condition: TKNZ 88% Exc.

Full portfolio to come if needed / requested

Case in fantastic condition, possibly never polished, sharp bevels, factory brush - I think (edit: I know) it's one of the tidiest I have seen, doesn't look like anyones ever held it even to a polishing wheel, just a light over-all patina commensurate with very careful use and (nearly) 42 Years of life

Piece has just enjoyed spa treatment with a Master Watchmaker that included full service & overhaul plus to glam her up we fitted in addition to all the gaskets whatnot the following NOS genuine SEIKO parts:

NOS OEM SEIKO Rotating Ring
NOS OEM SEIKO Rotating Ring Insert
NOS OEM SEIKO Winding & Setting Crown
NOS OEM SEIKO White on Black Date Wheel
NOS OEM SEIKO Hardlex Mineral Display Cover

We chose as normal absolutely NOT to polish it whatsoever, zero case grooming, there is a lovely tasteful engraving on the caseback which could be removed, but for many it will add character, personality & provenance to the baby diver

Indicators all original, as is the display & all it's elements, everything is right about this watch from the collectors POV (except the missing Box & Papers, rofl, where did they go?)

For another $65 a NOS OEM SEIKO Z17 rubber strap-set complete with SEIKO signed polished tang buckle can be sourced / fitted

We'll guarantee the piece for exactly twice the Guarantee period provided by ROLEX

How does this one wear H?

[harlansmart]

They are pretty tall (13mm) but I reckon they are the coolest looking thing on a smaller wrist.

How does this one wear H?

What is the lug-to-lug measurement on this one Harlan? Compact little diver for sure, and I was surprised when I looked up the 2205 movement to find that it was a high-beat at 28,800bph - very nice!

Hi Gauss,

In the 1970's this model was sold new over the counter at your friendly SEIKO Dealer with a flat vented rubber strap, Reference Z-17.

The strap has a width where it attaches to the 2205 of 17mm. I have a brand new one here never fitted & un-opened I will supply for the extra quoted.

What is the lug-to-lug measurement on this one Harlan? Compact little diver for sure, and I was surprised when I looked up the 2205 movement to find that it was a high-beat at 28,800bph - very nice!

Could you give me the measurement top to bottom when you have a moment? Many thanks.

[harlansmart]

Can do that, gimme 20 or so long moments, Sir!

Approx. measures again, depend on variables such as temperature, atmospheric conditions whatnot:

33mm excluding crown guard
37mm overall with crown
36mm with crown guard
38mm Lug ---> lug
13mm thick (wow)

Could you give me the measurement top to bottom when you have a moment? Many thanks.
