[WTS] Seiko Brightz SAGJ003. Full Titanium HAQ Chronograph. Discontinued in early 2000s
A super lightweight titanium High Accuracy Quartz from Seiko’s now iconic early 2000s Brightz collection. **Model**: SAGJ007, 7J21-0AA0 Seiko Brightz **Year**: October 2002 **Features**: ***- HAQ.*** In the original 2000s marketing for these High Accuracy Quartz, Seiko got mildly philosophical. The writer calls the time it takes light emitted by a star to reach your eye the “romance in errors”; the difference between how the star looks to you now, and how the star actually is in reality (many years in the “future” as far as your eyes are concerned). The writer invites you to set your watch to 0:00:00 at the stroke of Midnight on New Year’s Eve, and then wait a year. At 0:00:00 the following year this watch will have lost or gained a maximum of 20 seconds. The writer asks; what beauty can you find in these 20 seconds throughout the year? ***- High-End.*** On release, this full titanium HAQ cost ¥126,000 (equivalent to $1200 in 2004, not adjusted for inflation) and was part of Seiko’s high-end catalogue. Much like the 4S29 movement inside the Brightz SAGN005, or the 4S27 movement inside the Brightz SAGN007, the 7J21 movement inside this watch was at the top of Seiko’s class at the time of its release. In fact, other than the legendary 9F Grand Seiko HAQ (±10 seconds per year), the 7J21 is still one of the most reliable quartz movements made by Seiko (±20 seconds per year). ***- JDM.*** Released in the early 2000s, and only in Japan, this watch was hard to track down at the time and even harder to find in good condition now. This Brightz collection is often seen as a bit of “grail” collection, and a precursor to the ambition of Grand Seiko’s high movement specs and high spec finishing. ***- Titanium Bracelet.*** The original bracelet – sized up to \~7.7 inches. Two of the pins were replaced by a repair shop and I haven’t been able to remove them. As a result, three links (out of eight) are chained together and can’t be separated. They still function perfectly. This would only cause a problem if you were trying to size this down to a \~5.75” bracelet or smaller. [Here’s a picture showing what I’m referring to.](https://imgur.com/a/s77mMwI) **Condition:** In very good condition overall. The titanium case and bracelet are in good condition but do have minor hairlines throughout, but no damage is significant. The case back has mild wear from the bracelet scratching it. The photos represent the condition clearly. Totally unpolished. **Scope**: No box, manual or papers. **Movement**: 7J21 HAQ. Five years of battery life, according to Seiko’s specs. **Dimensions:** Case Width: 39mm Case Thickness: 11.5mm Lug Width: 20.0mm Bracelet Length: Fits up to \~7.7 inches **Price**: Due to the two stuck pins, I’m offering it at a reduced **$975** plus shipping (sent from London, UK; costs $5-$35 depending on where you are in the world). I accept Wise, Paypal, Credit/Debit Cards and Bank Transfer, depending on your transaction history. [Timestamp](https://imgur.com/a/pRqgJXu) [Album](https://imgur.com/a/ST8L22g)
