Rare Vintage Seiko 5 Sportsmatic 41798 Men’s 21J Automatic Dress Watch JDM 1960s

Rare Vintage Seiko 5 Sportsmatic 41798 Men’s 21 Jewel Automatic Dress Watch JDM 1960s. The Seiko Sportsmatic line was one of Seiko’s earliest successful automatic watch series and played an important role in establishing the brand’s reputation for reliable and affordable automatic timepieces during the 1960s. The watch is being sold as-is due to a fault with the day display. The day wheel does not change over properly and becomes partially or completely hidden during portions of the day. Additionally, while the watch is currently running, it almost certainly requires a service. Although it appears to be keeping time, it has not been tested for accuracy over an extended period. All parts of the watch are original. The watch has signs of use and age consistent with a vintage timepiece. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
