I haven’t been keeping up with the auctions lately, but I did check yesterday, and this popped up. An original small crown 62MAS in very good condition. These early ones are quite uncommon compared to the later big crowns, and are generally seen in a well-used condition. Strong price - ¥329.8k. It’s a pity they obscured the second part of the serial number  |

Thx for that Ross.
I missed this one too. I reckon that’s a good price for a small crown model when compared to what the large crown versions
have been selling for the past year.
The last local sale(Oz) I saw was AU$8000 last month on twovintageseikos, an Aussie Instagram auction account, which seemed crazy at the time.

Never thought Seiko's would hit these prices. I had the World Timer with the same cal but sold that unfortunately. Regret that one. Wonder what old blues worth now!

Yes, that is odd.
And another 62mas is auctioning on the previously mentioned account with a bid of $8000 lodged.
