Interesting to see what sort of strap it used to have! 4 jewel movement, battery #394. Case back ref. 8223-502A (A7); Dial 8223-5020T; Serial 9N1121 I have one of those Seiko Type II quartz’s, (sadly it’s very bashed.)

I am guessing it will need a battery change right about now:) Only thing i can add is, Peter, that you are the only person i send links to, prior to bidding:)

You can almost have a real black for that price I think. The white Seiko diver, Is it a Monster? It looks very nice. I like off-white dials. I always have dubious thoughts about exposing auctions. One the one hand, it can lead you to very rare and beautiful pieces. I remember I got my Giez Millenium this way. On the other hand, you drive up the price if more people are interested in it. Kind regards, Sjors Hi Petew,

I can tell you that the Citizen diver is a fantastic watch (as I bought it). Looks even better in real life than in the pictures. A 1968 watch in completely originial condition with even a slight bit of lume left. I was outbid on the watch about a day before closing but for some reason the highest bid got cancelled so I woke up one morning having bought a watch without knowing it. / martin Hi Pete,

For some reason the seller pulled that auction and relisted it without the Buy It Now option (IIRC). The only thing holding me back was that Paypal was not a payment option and I was also concerned about the watch possibly being too large. In the end it looks like someone took advantage of a nice deal on a nice watch. I thought about purchasing the 8F35 when it was listed the first time around as a Buy It Now.

The investment picture is awfully grim, and your article is really appreciated! Too bad Seiko does not make the 8F35 Quartz diver you pictured. I certainly would have wanted to buy that beauty.
