I bought these from a "wheeler-dealer" type seller on a popular auction site, on fact I'm not sure if it is one person with multiple names or a couple of people. But the watches are here and look okay, although I wonder if they are 100% authentic.
First we see a familiar shipping carton.
In which is a lot of bubble-wrap.
I see two distinct objects in there...
Hey they look like watches, that's a good sign.
Here they are the Seiko Kinetic Divers, the all black SKJ001 and the Pepsi SKJ003. Let's take some closer looks shall we?
Here is the black SKJ001. A bit more inner bezel wear then I expected up near 1 o'clock, but still pretty good. Look at the dial text on this one.
And this is the blue and red SKJ003. New bezel, but notice the dial text is not the same as the SKJ001. I wonder if that is a normal variance or if one of these has an aftermarket dial?
In any case, these are attractive Seiko Kinetic Divers, with brand new Jubilee bracelets. Although I already have an SKJ003 and an all-blue SKJ031, this is my first black SKJ001.
Good lume too!
Thanks for looking!
