► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a Rare Vintage Seiko Sportsmatic 15017 Men’s 17 Jewel Automatic Dress Watch JDM 1960s. Produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM), the Seiko Sportsmatic line was among Seiko’s early automatic collections and is well regarded for its reliable movements, elegant styling, and exceptional craftsmanship. This completely original and unrestored example features an absolutely beautiful silver sunburst dial with striking textured detailing, making it a wonderful candidate for restoration.
The watch is being sold for parts and repair as the crown pulls completely out of the watch and does not control the hands for time setting. Despite this issue, the watch has been observed running and holding accurate time over a 24-hour period. The watch is completely unrestored and is being sold as is.
All parts of the watch are original.
The watch has an absolutely beautiful dial and is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully prior to purchase.
