Fake Check Seiko 5 Vintage.
« on: July 04, 2018, 02:43:05 PM »
Hello everyone, I'm new to this hobby. Just bought a Seiko turtle and got addicted to it.

So today I went on to search for Seiko SNKK59, but found out this model:

https://my.carousell.com/p/seiko-5-165801677/





So I'm asking all the pro here, can you please help me identify this, because I already put a bid and COD tomorrow before even checking this model.

Thank you!

hi there

im not an expert. but i did saw this seiko in rare watches collector
i assume it was original, however considering the price and the condition (its worth  ;D)
probably u can ask the seller to open the back case, find whatever number of the model inside (mostly 7s26)
the heart of the watch is its movement.

if inside written Seiko, thats fine as well - as long not some china movement
btw those vintage watches comes with maintenance, i bought SNk809 from a friend - theres some rattling sound.
after service - RM 100-120 it works almost a year now

wish you the best. welcome to Seiko  :Laughing_on_floor:

Yes it really caught my eye. Although I can see the condition isn't as great.
