Very nice all original (except glass) 8030 'Deep Blue' in superb condition on its original Stelux bracelet that will fit up to a 19cm wrist.
This 'Aussie' variant 8030 was produced for the Oceania/SE Asia/Australian market and distributed by the Thong Sia Co. Ltd located in Singapore, they requested Seiko to supply them watches with English/Roman day wheels which were introduced to make them more universal, thus negating the need to produce individual day wheels for the different countries in their distribution areas. They also added their own solid link Seiko signed Stelux bracelets which are widely acknowledged to be of a superior quality to the standard pressed link Seiko bracelets which were supplied on the watches in all other regions.
Manufactured by the Suwa factory in January 1973. Movement is serviced, so clean, free of any deterioration and keeping great vintage time. Automatic chronograph with a single thirty minute register at 6 o’clock. Chronograph functions all working as they should, buttons click nice and firmly and it resets perfectly to zero. Day/Date functions working correctly by pushing in the crown lightly for day and more firmly for date. Cosmetically in excellent condition. Vibrant blue dial near perfect with original lume in great condition, hands and indices also near mint, very little fade to the orange sweep hand.
Movement: Original, SEIKO Suwa 6139B - Great condition. Day/date turn over at midnight & quickset works as it should.
Serviced movement is super clean and running strong. Pusher, crown and caseback gaskets replaced and lubricated but not guaranteed water resistant.
Dial: Electric blue, excellent condition
Day/Date at 3 o'clock Day in English and Roman, features the classic Sunday in red
Glass: Unmarked, replaced at service (original available on request)
Case: Original, unpolished stainless steel, minor age related wear. Caseback is in great shape with serial number and reference numbers still clearly legible
Crown: Original, well fitted
Year and location of manufacture - January 1973 - Serial No.311652 - Japan SEIKO Suwa Factory
A word of caution: I strongly advise you to do plenty of research before committing your hard earned money to buying a Pogue or any other vintage Seiko for that matter. It may come as a surprise considering Seiko are not considered 'high end' that many parts on watches you will see for sale are aftermarket (in other words fake) and many pieces are what's known in the trade as 'Frankens' - watches cobbled together from various sources and probably also sporting lots of fake parts too - It used to be quite easy to spot these watches but fake parts are getting harder and harder to tell from the real thing, so please be very wary. Something I would also advise is to 'buy the seller' and hopefully as you are here it means you're considering doing just that. I have spent many years building my reputation and doing the research so you don't have to. Feel free to contact me with questions and I am always more than happy to provide referrals.
