*Timestamp**: https://imgur.com/a/34QIsyQ **Pics**: https://imgur.com/a/BS6DdWF strap king: https://imgur.com/a/a7IwWTG **Model: SLA051** **Condition: Great shape, full kit** **Price: $1429 shipped** **Description:** Here is an awesome Grand Seiko caliber-powered watch, the Prospex SLA051J1 Uemura 80th anniversary diver. This watch features a 44mm stainless steel case faithful to Seiko's turtle/Captain Willard design, which wears quite a bit smaller than it's diameter suggests with a 49mm lug to lug. At only 13mm thick, it is slimmer than most other Prospex SLA dive watches. The case shape lends itself to work exceptionally well with a plethora of straps, I would recommend picking up a high quality perlon and vented rubber strap as these fit the watch perfectly. The standout feature of this particular model is a beautifully textured dial in anthracite grey, which almost gives a sunburst effect under certain lighting conditions. Lume is incredible. It is in excellent operational condition and great cosmetic condition. The 8L35 movement is keeping superb time at about +1spd and all crown/bezel operations are perfect. The bezel is silky smooth, one of the best I've felt from Seiko. Cosmetically the only blems to point out at a ding on the bottom edge of the case flank near 10pm and a few minor marks scattered around the midcase and bracelet. **Other posts**:[Breguet Type XXI Rose Gold](https://reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/1ban6iv/wts_breguet_type_xxi_42mm_pilot_chronograph_18k/) - [Omega Seamaster Heritage Lollipop](https://reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/1euxad3/wts_omega_seamaster_heritage_300_black_41mm_on/) - [Omega Globemaster](https://reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/1euxd25/wts_omega_constellation_globemaster_annual/) - [Tudor BB41 S&G](https://reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/1banf1o/wts_tudor_black_bay_41_sg_inhouse_cosc_2145/) - [Panerai 089 GMT](https://reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/1dhel2p/wts_panerai_luminor_titanium_gmt_pam00089/) - [Seiko SLA051 Willard](https://reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/1euppsv/wts_seiko_prospex_sla051j1_captain_willarduemura/ - [Tudor Date Day 36mm](https://reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/1dhjvkk/wts_tudor_prince_dateday_36mm_76213_two_tone_on/) - [Chopard Mille Miglie Jacky Ickx LE](https://reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/1banacl/wts_chopard_mille_miglia_le_jacky_ickx_42mm/) -

	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.
