Description: Vintage Seiko LM LordMatic Special - Refinished case - full professional service - Sapphire Crystal Upgrade 35mm case, not including crown The case is gorgeous! The crystal is superb! Includes TWO STRAPS. I have invested in a professional service for peace of mind for both the buyer and seller. I’ve also invested in restoring the case, and upgraded the crystal to an extra hard scratch resistant & super clear sapphire crystal. It took me many hours of painstaking effort to reach such a beautiful result. The price may be slightly higher than other non-serviced, lightly serviced or unprofessionally serviced models, especially those without restored cases & brand new sapphire crystal upgrades. Watch a video of this actual Watch on YouTube by searching for the title “SERVICED Vintage November 1973 Seiko LordMatic LM Special 5216-6020 Coffee Dial Sapphire Crystal Mod” Serviced: YES, September 2024, very professionally with proper Swiss oils, from a true master watchmaker with timegraph results transparently shown. This level of timegraph excellence is only possible when using an absolute master watchmaker who has decades of experience, proper training, uses service publications specific to the model, has the correct tools and authentic Japanese or Swiss oils, and puts several extra hours into very specific adjustments in multiple positions, aka an actual professional service in a clean indoor dust free room. The photos unabashedly show every single angle, side, facet and edge of the timepiece, including inside and out. Dial has some blemishes around the edges, use zoom, also see video for a more realistic representation of what the eye will see in real life. There is some blemish on the word “jewels”. Use zoom. Watch video. The zoom function exaggerates blemishes. The video is much more realistic to what you can expect to receive. Days in English and Kanji. Functions: hour, minute, seconds, hacking, push-pull crown Driving system: automatic winding with manual winding and hacking, running well. You may hear the automatic rotor moving if you shake / charge the Watch, but not while you are wearing it normally. All vintage watches are sold as +\- 1 minute per day. Time keeping can vary after shipping, depending on usage and climate. Adjustments after shipping are rarely needed but possible. Hacking: Yes, works well Dial: Original, not repainted. Hands: original, correct to the model, light scratches Crystal: generally clear, May have hair scratches. Crown: original, correct Quickset: working perfectly, triple checked by me and my watchmaker, for a total of 6 checks! Video proof uploaded! Quickset instructions: NEVER adjust day / date between 8pm and 4am or the function will be damaged. Pull crown out one position (click) and adjust the day/date at noon, best at noon (NOT MIDNIGHT). Do NOT adjust the day date anywhere within 4-5 hours of midnight. Adjust the day / date at NOON. Slowly and gently roll the crown. Do NOT speed roll the crown. The days will be more center in the window and it also creates less wear and stress when being gentle. Time-setting instructions: pull crown out 2 positions (clicks) and roll the crown slowly to the desired time, gently push crown back in and it will run. CAUTION: Always set day and date as per the instructions above in this listing description, otherwise it may break the watch. Please be very careful when operating. Message me for extra tips, instructions or video tutorials if you are inexperienced or have any doubts about how to operate a Seiko day / date. The day / date function is working correctly, me and my watchmaker have checked the day/date function 6 times before shipping out and I have documentation on video showing this function works perfectly. To give you full confidence the day / date function works, I have provided a video for you. The video is readily available on YouTube if you search for the title “SERVICED Vintage November 1973 Seiko LordMatic LM Special 5216-6020 Coffee Dial Sapphire Crystal Mod” If you don’t know how to set the day/date on an automatic Watch you must learn or ask a watchmaker to teach you. Do not experiment alone if you are inexperienced or do not know what you are doing. If returned with a broken day/date there will be a 25% restocking fee. I have taken the time to carefully create a clear tutorial on how to set the day/date on a vintage Seiko under the YouTube video titled “How to Set Day / Date on vivst Automatic Watches / Divers (especially Seiko), Why It Breaks & effects”. Avoid using the hand winding function to charge the watch as it is an automatic and it is self winding and creates less stress on the watch than manually turning the crown. Also, it is unnecessary to hand wind an automatic watch. Gentle shaking of the Watch will charge it, as well as normal wearing. If you have any questions about this lovely piece of machinery, please don't hesitate to contact me. This watch was designed to be water resistant. However, I highly recommend not exposing your vintage watch to water. Estimated shipping times do NOT include time your order remains with customs! Customs processing, inspections, holds or delays are beyond the control of anyone. Orders to Puerto Rico may take longer than estimated. All measurements are approximate and can vary slightly depending on how it’s measured, the type instrument used and the condition of the measuring instrument. It is the buyers responsibility to measure their own wrist before ordering. I can not guarantee straps sizes will for your wrist. Only you know your wrist size. The strap sizes are clearly provided. Colors are approximate, and also depend on lighting source, light angle, backgrounds, camera used, your own eyes, time of day viewed, and monitor settings. You will receive an approximation of the color you see. Please feel free to message me directly with any questions or concerns if you have any. I’m always happy to chat. Thanks! ~ Lukas
