Rare Vintage Seiko 5 Sports Speedtimer 7017-6030 Men’s Chronograph Watch JDM 70s

Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko 5 Sports Speedtimer 7017-6030 men’s automatic chronograph watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1970s. The 7017-6030 is a highly collectible vintage Seiko chronograph, featuring the distinctive Speedtimer design and Seiko’s renowned automatic chronograph movement. The watch is running and holding accurate time over a 24 hour period, and the rotating inner bezel operates properly. However, the chronograph is not functioning correctly, as the side pushers do not properly engage the chronograph mechanism or allow it to reset. The watch will require a service to correct the chronograph and pusher issues. Given its age, a full service would also be recommended to ensure it continues running and keeping accurate time, as I am unsure when the watch was last serviced, if ever. The watch is fitted with an aftermarket stainless steel bracelet. The watch is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its overall appearance and physical condition.
