Re: FS: Seiko, Citizen & Laco

Hi,

Regarding the black rubber gasket that surrounds the bezel, mine is there, but not a thick as others so you can barely see it. That's on me. I only noticed that now when you pointed it out.

I also wasn't being "vague" in terms of the polish description. I've seen so many similar looking watches that has left me confused as to why they look the same. I felt that it can't be realistic that most of the examples you find online look polished. That's why I said I'm not sure about it. I said that on my original post.

Still, I believe the dial is original. The tachymetre font does not reach the upper edge of the 60 as you suggested. I looked at it from all sides. It looks exactly like the one found here:

The Seiko Monaco's hands may not be the same as yours, but I have seen others exactly like mine that also claim to be of good provenance. So, who's to say that you are more reliable than them?

As for the price, I deliberately made my asking price lower than the usual asking prices. I have seen the Seiko go for as high as USD 750 and the Bullhead for at least USD 400. So, I don't think my prices are "ambitious".
