Item info: **\[WTS\]** **Gallery**: [https://imgur.com/a/YRTlV5X](https://imgur.com/a/YRTlV5X) **Timestamp**: [https://imgur.com/a/il2oBK5](https://imgur.com/a/il2oBK5) **Brand**: Seiko **Model**: SBQL003 8F33-0040 **Movement**: Seiko 8F33 HAQ Perpetual Calendar, day-date, Kanji + English calendar **Characteristics**: Ivory dial with gold indexes and hands. Candybar cyclops. Stainless steel case. **Description and condition**: Up for grabs is my JDM Seiko SBQL003. This ‘baby Grand Seiko’ is outfitted with Seiko’s 8F33 HAQ movement, advertised at +-20 seconds per year accuracy. The 8F33 has a perpetual calendar complication; meaning that it automatically keeps track of odd months as well as leap years! On those months, it will automatically switch from 30th to the 1st or the 28th/29th to the 1st. The watch sports a very familiar Grand Seiko-esque look, looking awfully similar to the 9F GS models such as the SBGP001. Hence this watch is commonly referred to as a ‘baby Grand Seiko’. The case has a diameter of 37mm (including crown) and a lug-to-lug of 43mm. The watch is in great shape and has minimal signs of wear. I think the case has been polished in the past. The candybar cyclops is unpolished/unwarped with only very minor scratches. Serial number starts with ‘9D’, likely dating this watch to December 1999 (or December 2009 but likely the former). The watch comes with the original Seiko Perpetual Calendar box and instruction booklet in Japanese. **Bracelet**: The watch comes on the original bracelet with links up to \~19cm wrist (17cm + 2cm spare links). **Asking price**: 285USD / 260EUR **Payment method**: Direct bank wire transfer through IBAN with EU banks or PayPal. **Shipping arrangements**: FREE SHIPPING to EU, UK, USA & Canada.
