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. For countries outside of these regions please ask and I can give you an accurate shipping quote, and we'll split the difference. Shipping is fully insured, tracked, and signed on delivery. For more pictures, questions, remarks, write a reply or DM me directly! I will try my best to accommodate your request.

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
