In excellent pre-owned condition, with a customised Seiko Dial featuring a subtle Hammerhead Sharks design on a black background. The dial has a 'Quickset' date display window. I've also added a new Chapter Ring, and new custom 7002 style hands. I've fitted a brand new scratch-resistant Mineral Crystal, a terrific new ceramic 'Sub' style Bezel Insert, and a new aftermarket Seiko 'Accordion' rubber diver's strap. 

This classic Scuba Diver's watch has been professionally Serviced and regulated, and is running beautifully, keeping accurate time. The large dual-finish steel case has been expertly polished and rebrushed, and is in excellent condition. I've upgraded the luminous treatment to the hands and markers. I'll also provide a full Seiko instruction manual (in a downloadable/printable PDF file).

A nice bonus with this one - my watchmaker has pressure-tested the watch for water resistance, to a depth rating of 100M (10 BAR) - this means that the watch will be fine for use in water (shallow swimming, surface snorkelling etc). I would not recommend it for use in more robust activities (high/board diving, scuba diving, impact sports), and would advise against sustained use in hot water (sauna/steamroom/hot shower). 

Please read on.

Dial/Hands Customised Scuba Diver's dial, in a deep black, featuring a school of Hammerhead Sharks in silver grey. The dial is signed 'SEIKO, Automatic' above centre, and 'Water 150m Resist, 17 Jewels' below centre. There are large trapezoid markers instead of numbers, larger again at 12, all with an applied luminous finish. There's a 'Quickset' Date window at 3 o'clock (in the rarer white on black font). Minute markers run around the new white Chapter Ring, which is set at an angle, so adding an impression of extra depth to the dial. 

The hands are new, lume-filled, in the classic 7002 Diver style - an arrowhead minute hand, a broadsword hour hand, while the seconds hand is a red needle with a luminous circle at the base of the red counterbalance. I've upgraded the luminous treatment on the hands and markers, they shine beautifully after exposure to light - the glow won't shine all night, but the effect lasts for a decent spell, which is a nice bonus (typical refurbished or aftermarket dials and hands don't generally have much 'lume', if any). See the gallery photos which show the luminous effect after brief exposure to a bright light.

Case Large 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. Even up close I can't see any issues, maybe some tiny 'hairlines' on the steel finish at worst, though certainly no obvious nicks or scratches). The case edges are crisp and nicely defined.  

Bezel Bidirectional steel Bezel, good medium resistance, turns smoothly with 60 nicely ratcheted 'clicks'. In excellent condition, and fitted with a new ceramic 'Sub' style Bezel Insert, white, printed with elapsed-time markings in black. 

Caseback The screwdown Caseback is in very good condition, again expertly cleaned and lightly polished, with only minor marks. The manufacturer wording on the caseback is fading slightly, but still clearly legible, and reads as follows: "Seiko, Stainless Steel, 7002-7000 A1, Scuba Diver's, 183563, A, Lightning Flash symbol" plus the Seiko Wave logo in the centre.   

Crown The original screwdown ridged-edge steel crown is in place, cleaned and polished, which screws down to lock and adjusts correctly. The crown stem and case tube have been inspected, and are in good order.

Crystal New scratch resistant Mineral Crystal, in excellent condition, with no marks of any kind (checked under magnification). 

Movement Seiko 7002A 17 Jewel Automatic movement. I've had the movement professionally serviced and regulated, and the watch is running strong and true. The Serial Number indicates the original manufacturing date as August 1991. New gaskets have been fitted.

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 straps, and help to ensure that the case lug holes don't get worn and loose. Will comfortably fit a wrist size of up to 8.5" (220mm+).

 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 +/- 30 seconds per day (anything under +/- 30spd is excellent for a vintage automatic). 

Measurements Width without crown - 41.9mm (45.8mm including crown), Lug to Lug - 44.9mm, depth 13mm. Weight total 100 grams. To give you an idea of how the watch will wear on an average-sized wrist, have a look at the the 'wrist-shot' pictures - the watch is shown on a strap sized to 7 to 7.5 inches (180 to 190mm).

Other - This a terrific Seiko Diver's Automatic watch, in a large 41.7mm, which wears quite proudly on the wrist as it's 13mm deep. Even though it's on a Seiko style 'Accordion' 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 ceramic 'Sub' style Bezel Insert, which is very smart addition, and looks great set against the unusual Hammerhead Shark dial and 7002 hands. 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 nicely 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 in production, and certainly didn't look like this originally, but I'm sure it will have cost more than my starting price. Plus I'm listing the watch with NO RESERVE - you could get a top Seiko Automatic Scuba Divers watch, fitted with a custom Dial, Hands and Insert, expertly refurbished and professionally Serviced, and pressure tested too, 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.
