[WTS/WTT] Seiko SBQJ017 Titanium HAQ GMT Perpetual Calendar
[WTS/WTT] Seiko SBQJ017 Titanium HAQ GMT Perpetual Calendar
One of the coolest sport GMT watches out there. High Accuracy 8F Quartz (predecessor to the modern 9F), “true”/travelers GMT, perpetual calendar, titanium case/bracelet, and 100m of water resistance. An absolute beast of a watch. This really is a sleeper hit. Makes you wonder how the 9F GMT’s cost so much more with less functionality. Don’t get me wrong, I still want one. Shiny good. With a diameter of 40mm and a relatively short lug to lug of 46mm, the watch wears great on my 6.5 in wrist. Bracelet is fitted to my wrist and the watch comes with two extra full links. This is a “true” GMT meaning that it has an independent jumping hour hand. Have a trip across time zones? When you cross the line, simply pull the crown out one position and jump the hour hand forward or backward accordingly. The seconds hand will continue keeping impeccable time so there is no need to hack and reset. This is a perpetual calendar so it even takes leap years into account. Should be fun trying it out on Feb 29 this year. I’m bummed I’ll miss seeing the date change. Oh ya, and it has a 10 year battery, which was replaced last year by the previous owner. Theoretically, you could set this and actually forget it. For nine years… Good condition for a 20 something year old watch. Titanium case and bracelet are in good shape with the most notable scratch around 12 o’clock on the brushed bezel. See photos for details. It really isn’t very noticeable in person and I forget about it. The watch isn’t pressure tested, but I’ve been wearing it in the shower regularly with no issue. I haven’t taken it in a pool or the ocean so I won’t make any guarantees that I haven’t tested myself, but it should be fine as it’s rated to 100m (though remember, it’s a neo vintage watch, so always pressure test before trying anything crazy). I’m a US based seller so don’t worry about import or Japan taxes. Price: $799 Trades: mainly interested in going up market, but I’ll consider anything. Value $799 Message me with any questions!
