Up for sale is a Seiko 7006-8030 Rally Diver w/ Sunburst Yellow dial. Dated to May 1972. I'm trying to drastically reduce down my bloated collection so look for some really nice watches rolling out of the next little while. This one is all original with a replacement NOS bezel and crystal. These are very hard to find without dial damage, or aftermarket parts, and I've never seen a sunburst yellow dial version come up. Serviced by Seth at Hub City Vintage May '24 so still under warranty. Comes on the original Stelux bracelet that was rebuilt with new pins (by me) so the links are all tight now. The links use spring bars to hold them together which I've found break over time. If you are looking for a very cool and rare vintage diver you won't be disappointed with this watch.
Condition notes:
Trades: No.
I do not accept returns unless the watch is grossly misrepresented. I do my best to accurate describe the watch but with vintage watches you never know what can be lurking unless they have a known service history. If you have additional questions or want pictures or videos let me know and I can provide them. I have multiple extremely positive sales on here and other places so buy with confidence. I also have references if necessary.
Condition notes:
- Case: Some wear but nothing unsightly in my opinion. Gasket replaced during service but water resistance cannot be guaranteed. Plus I believe the crows don't seal well on these which is why the dials are always damaged.
- Bezel: Perfect. NOS replacement. Rotates bi-directionally as it should. Friction type. I will swap back to the original which has a few scratches if you'd like a discount.
- Crown: Quick set date/time work perfect. These do not quick set the day of the week (you have to roll back and forth between 11 and 2 to do that).
- Dial: Excellent.
- Hands: Excellent.
- Crystal: Scratch free. NOS Seiko replacement.
- Movement: Automatic. Serviced by Hub City Vintage in May 2024. Has a warranty which I know Seth will honor as he's a good dude. It won't be needed though.
- Bracelet: Includes original Stelux bracelet rebuilt by me with new link spring bars. Fits my 7" wrist with 3 spare holes so should fit up to 7.25"+ wrist no issue
