Added bonus for someone wanting to put together/restore a Sportsmatic of their own. I forgot about this extra truly parts one that I had in my drawer. According to the caseback, it was produced in July 1965. The dial and hands are in fantastic shape but the chapter ring less so. Can't comment about the movement as the stem is missing. I'll include it if you want to purchase all three for $90US.
Both of the following Sportsmatics were also bought as donor watches as I was having my 1966 model restored. As it turned out, I was able to use other donors so these ones I'm offering up were not parted out. In fact I had them serviced which was probably 7 to 8 years ago. Be that as it may, they seem to keep pretty good time and start up with just a hint of a shake. Now a couple of things; I do not believe the case-backs are original to either of these but I am quite certain the black dialed one is a 1966 model and while the crystal & dial are in good shape, the chapter ring does have some "freckles". It comes on a Seiko folded link bracelet although I don't think it's original to the watch.
The chapter ring on the champagne dial was pretty much toast, so I had my watchmaker polish it.

Shipping included with price to CONUS & Canada only. Might be extra is you're across the pond!
Thanks for looking!
