Watch #10. Seiko 7006-8140R

 

I bought this watch from eBay due to the dial and the 700X movement performance.  There is a Seiko devout following and I wanted to see for myself.  After a great service at The Bishop Watchmaker the watch runs great. Time Grapher gives it a  -4s/d, 211 degrees of amplitude and a horrific 8.9ms beat error.  For now I wear it and enjoy a vintage watch.  It keeps good enough time for me.  I continue to buy 700X movements, maybe someday I will be able service one on my own and get better results.   

The watch SN is 4280XX making in a February 1974 date of manufacture.  The comments in the following in this post I found an owner got the very same watch as a Graduation gift.  Any comments or feedback about this watch I would love to read them.
