I have an '89 model (black and red bezel) that im looking to sell soon. Was thinking of putting it up for 3.5k. Trade (WF and similar sites look to be around 4k+ mark)
Black and red bezel or coke bezel at £3.5k is a fair price is it boxed with papers and in good nick

Are you upgrading or just fancy a change

All others have been pretty much sidelined since I purchased this, thank's Dom. Just ticks all the boxes for a daily beater. Edited to note that I have no idea how to rotate the image, to a more easily view-able angle.

Well, i'd be happy with that price but obviously finding a buyer is the hard part as a private seller so setting a realistic price target always helps.

It's Black & Red bezel. In pretty good condition, the usual light wear marks but nothing major. A case polish would have it looking brand new again. Has a box but no paperwork. I buy a lot of mine pre-owned so they don't always have everything, however i'd happily have it inspected. Can drop you a PM if you like..
I have my eye on a Sea Dweller so looking to sell a few to be able to upgrade. wink

Just picked this up as my new travel watch. I wanted a world time function but didn't want to spend a lot in case I left it in a changing room or in the hotel.

It's actually the grey face although it's hard to pick up thanks to my photography skills.

Aye, good analogy.
Or in the case of a Grand Seiko, an LFA looks a bit like a Ferrari....and is comparable in many other ways too!

It might look like it from a photo, but if you held one of these in your hand you'd know immediately it's an entirely different proposition.

Any pics this might be a good place to start - I found out trade is £3,000 to £3,400 depending on condition and with box and papers

The seiko boutique here in Manhattan are chasing me about a SBGA031 I went to look at, since they dropped the price by a grand thanks to the weak Yen. Felt the equal of any dive watch from any brand, to be honest - a lovely thing. But then for $6700 it should be.

If you're interested, Победа means victory.
There's a saying Спасибо деду, за победу! This relates to the Second World War and means 'Thanks for victory, granddad'.
Irrelevant but I thought I'd mention it.
