I was perusing CL yesterday, and came upon a 6139-6010. It's got a Chinese day wheel, it's the first I've had with Chinese. Anyway, it's running spot on, since I set it yesterday afternoon, and the price was more than right.  While we were communicating, he said he had another Seiko available. Needless to say, I was definitely interested. This 7A28-7079 is basically mint, includes box, instruction book & all extra links. The blue caseback sticker, is still intact.      While I was making arrangements for the road trip (only a 50 mile drive), he said he had one more...It needed a service, but he'd throw it in to cover the cost of my gas. It's a nice 6119-7160 Sushi Roll, on what appears to be the original bracelet.  The deal was fantastic, and I'm very happy I stumbled across these. |

More CL gold. It's a bonanza. If your willing to spend the time looking city by city and decide how far your willing to drive and then start searching out to the exceptable distance.
you have to be checking everyday. All my best Seiko's are CL finds.

Thanks guys... The Sushi Roll, is definitely worth saving. Just need to get it serviced, and track down a crystal.  |

Someone either tried reluming the hands or simply put the hour hand back on upside-down. Get it serviced; put in a new crystal and that will be a great daily wearer  |

I can't find the reference #6119-7060 in any casing guides online. I'd like to help with the crystal but cannot if I can't find the part number for the crystal. I even tried using "-7069" to move from JDM to export but no luck with that old trick, either.

Great score.
There are only 5 Seikos listed at anytime on Craigslist here and it's all overpriced beat up quartz dress watches which sell for $3 on Ebay.

****************************
OK so it's a 340W12GN crystal. There does not appear to be any GS or Sternkreuz aftermarket versions. That means you're hunting down an OEM Seiko. This is probably a mineral glass and not plastic crystal, but I can't be for sure.
The good news is there are a few listed on ebay right now.
Sorry I can't help out.

Oh wow! That's a sweet score! Sushi roll takes the prize. (I think the minute hand might have scraped the top of the hour hand)

Wow, great scores! I've never searched CL for small stuff -- only stuff too big or heavy for shipping from eBay. Way to go!

The 7A28 is the heartbreaker.
The crystal for your sushi diver is on eBay for $29 NOS which is hilariously affordable.
