FS: NOS SEIKO BELL-MATIC RARE AND EARLY VERSION WITH 27 JEWELS

Hi,
I am selling this really rare and very early Seiko Bell-Matic ref. 4006-7000.

"The first Bell-Matics were made with 27 jewels. However, because the US imposed high tarriffs on watches having that many jewels,
Seiko decided to lower the jewel count on 4006s being exported to the US down to 21 jewels, which would allow them to export these to the US without the heavy tarriff penalty."

The watch I am selling here is not only the very early model that was introduced in Japan on November 1966 but
its is also in an absolute NOS condition.
So I think that chances of finding another one in this condition is almost zero.

What's more, the watch comes with the original cream colour box, with the original bracelet, with the silicagel and the golden Seiko hangtag.
So I think I can say that I am offering a fantastic and super rare "full set" watch.

The watch had a complete check-up by my watchmaker. The movement turned out to be in new condition.
It only got some fresh oil. Mechanically it's in 100% perfect condition. Setting time, date and day goes super smooth.
The alarm function is working as when it was new.

So if you're in for a really cool looking and rare watch that will only become more valuable in the coming years, this is your chance.
I am asking a very high price for it, so no need letting me know that.
I am looking for the real Seiko vintage watch collector that would love to have this watch in his Seiko collection.

Price: 1075 euros ( insured shipping included )
( I give a full refund in case of any problem or if the watch would not be as described )

Kind regards,
Bernard
