Rare Vintage Seiko Sportsman 14083E Men’s Classic 17J Sports Dress Watch JDM 60s

Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko Sportsman 14083E men’s classic 17 jewel sports dress watch from the 1960s, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM). This attractive model features a highly distinctive textured dial and is powered by a rare early Seikosha 17 jewel manual wind movement. Based on the serial number, this example dates to 1962. The watch is being sold for parts or repair as it is currently not running and will require service before it can be used reliably. I have not diagnosed the issue and am unsure what repairs may be needed. The watch is in good physical condition for its age and has developed a very appealing vintage aesthetic over the decades. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully prior to purchase.
