Seiko 5 Sports 6119-8450 Men’s Vintage 21J Automatic Watch JDM 1970s

Up for sale is a vintage Seiko 5 Sports 6119-8450 men’s automatic sports watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1970s. Powered by Seiko’s reliable 21-jewel automatic movement, this classic Seiko 5 Sports features a beautiful blue dial, contrasting orange seconds hand, and day/date display, representing the distinctive styling of Seiko’s vintage sports watches from the era. The watch is running and holding accurate time over a 24-hour period, but it has an issue with the day/date adjustment mechanism. Both the quickset and standard date adjustment functions are not working properly, although the day and date wheels seem to advance naturally past midnight. The exact cause of this issue has not been diagnosed, but it may be a relatively straightforward repair for an experienced watchmaker. Although the watch is running and keeping accurate time, it would likely benefit from a general service and internal cleaning due to its age. The watch is being sold as is, with the day/date adjustment issue disclosed. The watch is fitted on an aftermarket stainless steel bracelet. The watch is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully by interested buyers.
