Selling my beautiful Seiko SJE085 1959 Alpinist. Made in Japan limited edition of 1959 pieces. Purchased from original owner who bought from AD in Denver in May 2022. Full kit including gorgeous wooden inner box, outer box with sleeve, warranty card, instruction manual, buckle and original bund strap. It’s a gorgeous watch with vintage vibes, a big box sapphire crystal, and a higher end 6L35 movement (not 6r35, the 6l35 is a movement Seiko uses for high end Presage and the top end new King Seiko pieces. Variation of this is used in the new Seiko 62MAS $3500 diver that launched 2 weeks ago. On par with higher end ETA 2892 movements). Lume is excellent, date clicks over instantly at midnight. 10 bar water resistance. It’s been running at about +6sec/day on wrist. Case condition is very good. It’s a high polished piece so there are the normal light swirlies, and two super tiny scratches just above the crown. Case back has some marks, apparently from being worn on perlon nato. Dial and hands are high polish and perfect. Because of the highly polished black dial paired with the box crystal, the hands reflect off the dial in interesting ways. Crystal is near mint - there is a very fine scratch running from the center out towards the 11:00 mark. Only visible in the right light. I’ve worn this on the original bund strap with the Seiko signed and very nice buckle. Strap was brand new when I got it a few months ago and has been worn in rotation - still in near new shape. Really cool watch - the original Seiko Laurel Alpinist is one of their best watches in Seiko history, and this gives you nearly the same aesthetic but with all the modern bits (water resistance for example) These originally listed for over $2500 I believe. They usually sell in the $1500 range preowned. REDUCED to $1300 - love the watch but have my eye on a GS, so had to make the tough choice. CONUS only. Thanks for looking.
