Rare Vintage Seiko 5 Sports Speedtimer 7017-8000 Men’s Chronograph Watch JDM 70s

Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko 5 Sports Speedtimer automatic chronograph, model 7017-8000, produced in the 1970s for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM). This highly collectible model features the iconic cushion case, black dial with orange accents, bilingual day-date display, and Seiko’s renowned Speedtimer design. The watch is being sold strictly for parts or repair. The watch is currently running and holding accurate time, however the chronograph pushers do not engage the chronograph mechanism, and the chronograph is continuously running and cannot be stopped. The watch will likely require a service, although the exact issue is unknown, as I do not know when it was last serviced, if ever. It is being sold as a project watch with no guarantees regarding functionality after repair. The watch is fitted with an aftermarket stainless steel bracelet. It is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
