► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a Rare Vintage Seiko Chorus 2518-0180 Men’s 21J Manual Dress Watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1960s. This charming vintage model features a clean white dial accented with blue minute markers and a red central seconds hand, all housed in a compact stainless steel case that reflects Seiko’s understated dress watch designs of the era.
The watch is being sold for parts or repair. It is currently running and winds properly, but the crown does not appear to control the hands, preventing the time from being set. The watch is completely unrestored and is being sold strictly as found.
The watch is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age consistent with its vintage. With a case diameter of approximately 28mm, I would consider this watch suitable for either a unisex or ladies wrist. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully prior to purchase.
