**Model**: 4R35-00C0, SARY008 **Year**: November 2010 **Album:** [https://imgur.com/a/BzOzA4B](https://imgur.com/a/BzOzA4B) **Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/a/HWMkDXE](https://imgur.com/a/HWMkDXE) **Features**: ***- JDM***. Seiko loves to drop random un-marketed dressy-looking watches onto the JDM. They often do it in incredibly limited numbers without any fanfare, making them psuedo-limited edition and very hard to track down. The SCVE “Dot” Series, which is often erroneously thought of as being limited edition, is perhaps the most famous example of this. The reality is Seiko are just a bit whacky and love to experiment with unofficially small batch releases in Japan. ***- The Dial***. A guilloche textured inner circle with tight concentric circles around the outer dial. The indices on this thing deserve all of the credit. They do a wonderful job of flicking between dead matte and fully illuminated. ***- Strap***. The original calf leather Seiko strap. Very comfortable and glossy. **Condition**: Unworn condition, with mild patina on some edges. **Scope**: Comes with the original box, guarantee and manual. **Movement**: 4R35; automatic day/date movement from Seiko. 21,600bph with a 41-hour power reserve **Case Width**: 40.0mm **Lug to lug:** 45.0mm **Case Thickness**: 10.6mm **Strap width**: 20mm **Price**: Offered at **$490** plus shipping.

Transaction fees paid by the buyer. **Of note**: I’ve often wondered if these sorts of watches are the result of junior design team members getting the opportunity to create a low-risk watch. Thanks to Seiko’s fully vertical production, it wouldn’t be expensive or difficult to give younger employees a chance to oversee the design process of a small JDM release from start to finish. Like most Japanese companies, Seiko heavily promotes from within, so regularly providing opportunities to manage small-in-scale but large-in-scope ideas is a great way of finding employees with lots of potential.
