FINAL REDUCTION TO A STEAL AT £240 Now £210 - UNTIL 9pm SUNDAY NIGHT, THEN SHE HITS THE 'BAY...

Gentlemen,

I picked this up as part of a convoluted larger trade. It's a Seiko Arctura Perpetual Calendar Auto Relay Kinetic SNP009P1, Boxed and Papers from 2006 - and in superb condition.

I love the big Double Date windows on these, and the Auto-Relay is fantastic - the watch 'snoozes' when not in use to save the capacitor, and then, when given a gentle shake, the watch automatically adjusts itself to the correct time - cool! Plus it's perpetual - the Calendar will not need adjusting until February 2100!

The chap who had it reckons he's worn it perhaps four times in the 5+ years he's had it - and the condition suggests exactly that. There are a few very minor micro-swirlies on the highly-polished bezel, and some on the bracelet and clasp - but so minor as to be inconsequential - I've seen more on a 'shop-new' watch to be honest.

It's not quite 'New In Box', but not far off. It's currently sized for about a 6.5" wrist but all original links are are included (5, with pins and caps too), which takes it back to about 8.5".

Specs:

Integrated Date, Month and Leap Year and 24 hours Time Displays
Fully Automatic Calendar until Feb 28, 2100
Stainless steel case and bracelet.
Solid SS band with three-fold clasp with push button release
Hour, minute and second hands.
Automatic power generator.
Energy depletion forewarning function. Precise Quartz Kinetic movement - powered by the motion of user wrist.
Overcharge prevention function.
Duration of full charge is approximately 6 months.
Time Relay technology
Auto Relay sleep mode - Time Relay system preserves accurate time for up to 4 years when not worn
Precise Kinetic movement.
Scratch resistant & Non reflective sapphire Glass.
Water Resistant: 100 Meters
Movement: Caliber 7D46
Dimensions:
Case diameter – 47mm include crown
Case thickness – 12mm
Bracelet Length – 200mm
Bracelet Width – 21mm


The Pictures pretty much sum this up - it's condition is just superb. Outer Box has a couple of light bumps to the corners, Inner box, spare links and all paperwork is immaculate. The original Hang Tag is attached.

The UK RRP on these was a mind-numbing £880. They come up very infrequently, and there are just 2 on the 'bay at the moment - one at $588 from Hong Kong with no paperwork (so it must be real... :roll:). and a New, Old Stock 2 year old for $850 (no warranty). The usual places (Amazon, Creation) are all out of stock. There was one US Seller who has one at £417, no Seiko warranty, and you're looking at a 20% hit if Customs get hold of it, plus handling charges....

Let's see if I can't tempt you with this - how about £325 now £285 now £240, including Next Day Special Delivery? That's a bargain! If you're overseas, please add £8 for Fully insured and Tracked shipping.

I've loads of Feedback on here, I'm a 'Top Rated' e-bay seller (1800+ deals, 99.9%, username 'goonermike'), and I've got plenty of Feedback on TZ-UK as well (username 'BigBird'), so there are no worries there.

I'd prefer BT, certainly for UK buyers. PayPal Gift if absolutely necessary, but I'd like to avoid that if possible (they get narked if too many 'gifts' go in, and I use it for my e-bay stuff, so don't want to upset them...). If you want to go all official, I can send a 'Request for Payment' invoice through PayPal, but I'll add 3.4% to cover Fees.

If I've missed anything, or you'd like more info or pics, please feel free to PM me.

Cheers!

Please forgive the bump for evening crowd, but this was originally posted in the wee small hours....

Some interest in this lovely piece, but nothing concrete, so I'll knock £40 off - that brings this down to a giveaway £285, including RMSD. Very near offers considered, but silly lowball offers laughed at...

She has to go, so don't be shy :oops:

Last chance at this one - £210 takes her away, or she's withdrawn, destination the bay, at around 9pm.

Cheers
