Crazy 99p start price - and NO RESERVE...

Dial/Hands  New custom Dial, in the style of the classic Breitling SuperOcean Abyss 42, in a deep black, with distinctive italicised Arabic numerals and Baton markers, and an inverted Arrowhead at 12. The dial is signed 'SEIKO, AUTOMATIC' above centre, and 'WATER150MRESIST, Suwa symbol' below centre.  There's a 'Quickset' Date window at 3 o'clock. The new Chapter Ring is in black to match the Dial colour, with a Minute Marker track, and is set at an angle which helps to add an impression of extra depth to the Dial. 

I've fitted new Silver/Grey & White 'MarineMaster' style hands, a segmented 'Broadsword' Hour hand, a segmented 'Arrowhead' Minute hand, and a White 'Needle' Seconds hand with a luminous circle near the tip. I've used a modern luminous compound on the hands and markers, and they glow beautifully after exposure to light, and it lasts for a good spell, a nice bonus on a redialled watch.

Case Large dual-finish stainless steel Case in excellent condition, with a Highly-polished finish to the sides, and a Satin-brushed finish to the upper surfaces (I've had this expertly polished and rebrushed, and it has come up beautifully - there may be some negligible 'hairline' marks on the high-polish finish at worst, but certainly no nicks or obvious scratches). The case edges remain sharp and nicely defined.  

Bezel Bidirectional Steel Bezel, good resistance, turns with 60 nicely ratcheted 'clicks', in excellent condition, with a smart new Black & Silver 'Submariner' Bezel Insert.  

Caseback The screwdown steel caseback is in super condition, again expertly polished, with minimal signs of use. The manufacturer wording on the caseback is clear and defined, and reads as follows: "Seiko, Stainless Steel, 7002-7001 A1, Scuba Diver's, 4N1578, JAPAN, A, Lightning Flash symbol" plus the Seiko Wave logo in the centre. Please see the caseback photos (click to enlarge):

   I've also taken some close-up pictures of the case sides - note the nice sharp edges, highlighting the crisp definition between the contrasting steel finishes - click to enlarge:


And some extra snaps showing the modern luminous treatment I've used on the new 'MarineMaster' hands and italicised indices, after brief exposure to a bright light:


  Crown Original screwdown ridged-edge steel crown, offset at the 4 o'clock position, screws down and adjusts perfectly, stem is fine. Cleaned and polished, and in very good condition, negligible marks if any.

Crystal New scratch resistant Mineral Crystal, in excellent condition, with no marks of any kind. A few close ups that you can 'click' to enlarge:

Movement Seiko 7002A 17 Jewel Automatic movement. I've had the movement professionally serviced and regulated, and the watch is running strong and true. All gaskets have been replaced. The Serial Number indicates the original manufacturing date as November 1994.

Strap A brand new aftermarket Seiko Z22 'Accordion' ridged rubber Diver's strap has been fitted, with a floating keeper, along with a new brushed steel buckle. I've used 'Fat' Seiko Spring Bars, which are a much better fit for these Diver straps, and help to ensure that the lug holes don't get worn through excessive movement. Will comfortably fit a wrist size of up to 8.5" (220mm+). I've taken some extra photos of the strap - click if you want to enlarge:

 Running condition Running, and keeping excellent time. As well as the Service, I've regulated the movement, and tested it using a professional timing machine. The watch has also been 'bench-tested' twice on an automatic winder, over at least 24 hours each time, and is accurate to better than +/-18 seconds per day max. (anything under 20 seconds a day is excellent for a vintage automatic). 

Measurements Width without crown - 42mm (45.6mm including crown), Lug to Lug - 45.2mm, depth 12.9mm. Lug Width 22mm. Weight total 100 grams.

Other - This is a terrific Seiko Diver's Automatic watch, in a large 42mm, which wears quite proudly on the wrist as it's almost 13mm deep. Even though it's on a Seiko 'Accordion' style rubber Diver's strap, it's a weighty 100 grams, and feels solid and well constructed, with a substantial wrist presence. The 17 Jewel Seiko 7002A Automatic movement has been fully serviced and regulated, and is working beautifully, the watch keeps accurate time.

The large dual-finish steel Diver's case has been expertly rebrushed and repolished, and looks excellent.

I've fitted a new Black & Silver 'Submariner' Bezel Insert, which is very smart addition, and looks great set against the custom Black 'SuperOcean Abyss 42' Diver's Dial with the characteristic italicised numbers and markers. They go together really well, and add to the iconic Scuba Diver's appearance. I've upgraded the luminous treatment to the custom hands and markers, and they glow beautifully after exposure to light, and it lasts a little while too. 

Though pre-owned, this watch really is in very good condition, with only minimal signs of any use, and has clearly been maintained well.  I'll send the winning bidder a downloadable/printable PDF File with the full Seiko instructions, which will show you how to change the date and maintain the watch etc.

This model is no longer available (and didn't look like this originally!) but I'm sure it will have cost more than my starting price - I'm starting my auction at just 99p, with NO RESERVE - you could get a top Seiko Automatic Scuba Divers watch, beautifully customised, and expertly refurbished and professionally Serviced, at a real bargain price!

I've tried to be as accurate as I can in the description of this watch, please read the description and look at the photographs carefully.  You should study the photographs, which I've taken in close up detail - it will be enable you to evaluate the cosmetic condition far more accurately than I can describe it.
