The King Seiko 36000 hi-beat.with new leather strap is in reality the brother to the Grand Seiko, both having been made in Japan albeit in different factories and is IMHO an under rated watch by the Seiko community. Very little difference in the build quality of both watches. The KS had a few issues with accuracy in the beginning but soon was the equal to the GS. Both ceased production during the quartz wars but the GS was revivied, first in Japan and recently has been imported to the US. The KS which is 38mm next to my 40mm Maurice Lacroix 38x 42mm, lug width:18mm Includes new XL strap as well as standard strap just serviced by my regular watch guy Accurate with no known issues. rating a vintage watch is hard to do given this is a 1969 model but given the age I would rate this at 90%. I am the third owner of the watch. I will add that this is a Japan made watch. Dial is original as are the hands and the index markers are correct. $400 via Paypal or money order includes shipping CONUS
