These like the fake arnie's are a treasure to behold ... and yes the person listing it describes it as "Vtg Seiko Jumbo Size Diver w/world time Zone Date manual men watch" and his description, well I will let you read that ... listed as a b.i.n (# 183224989645 )

What is this? 21 jewel Quartz movement. Not sure Seiko made a quartz with so many and a 7009 version to boot. Funny they were able to get the font at the bottom to "sort of" follow in an arc rather than straight across... www.ebay.com/itm/263694615707?ul_noapp=true

This is what a genuine Seiko 5 Quartz looks like... And the movement isn't a $1.23 elcheapo module from Citizen

Check this one out!

I don't ever remember a 1968 Enicar with a dial like that - 100% genuine checked by a master watchmaker. :bs:

On second look...where's "Saturn". Third look, seems there were a number of them in the 70's where Saturn's missing? Odd for a brand not to have a logo present, unless the thought the Font was enough?

Look at the case back, it looks like it was dragged down a concrete wall Enicar never made watches with Mumbai coloured dials!

Can't remember seeing this discussed before but did Seiko stamp the reference numbers this way? Outside of horse shoe back the reference numbers all seem to be facing out??? Not in??? I've seen it on a few questionable watches that I have passed on, this one seems rather nice?

So is this case back unique to the 7320? I know I have seen other 6309's where the reference numbers faced in just not which one?

I don't know what you mean by "facing out" or "facing in". They are always stamped this way (if they are not straight) - on a concentric circle. The letters and numbers are "right side up" from the middle to the outside. How is this 6309-7320 different? I just don't see it enlighten me! Do you think the caliber is printed the "wrong way round"? But then it would be a 6039, not a 6309.

Do you think the caliber is printed the "wrong way round"? But then it would be a 6039, not a 6309. If you look at the orientation of the serial number and how its printed the 6309-7320 is opposite right side up/ upside down on all other 6309's they are facing the same direction (As the serial number ) they are also nearer the serial number? There are other 7320's out there this way so maybe not so fake but a small deviation from the norm for whatever Seiko's reasoning. Again we're never to say always with their products... This is how all my other 6309's have the case back numbers printed. The numbers all oriented the same way...

Ah, okay. I didn't have this kind before my inner eye... But I can give you this 6309, with the text printed like your -7320

Not really worried about it being counterfeit, but mainly wondering about authenticity of parts on this one: It's a 6002 dated 1974. I know that some Australian models did receive the black inner bezel from the factory but others had it added later. Also, since the dial was re-lumed at some point I'm wondering about the hands, and I guess the entire dial for that matter!
