Bezel isn't rotating correctly and shows serious wear around the 20, 30 minute elapsed markers; beautiful black dial with crisp black printing throughout; original luminous hands; nice original Seiko Hardlex crystal.Other: While some collectors refer to this watch as the "Poor Man's Seiko 62MAS," we prefer it to stand on its own since it walks a perfect line between dress and diver. The 7005-8050 is very hard to find in original condition. T This model debuted in 1969 and was made until 1976, but only the earliest specimens featured "WATERPROOF" text on the dial and caseback as seen here. This watch was originally delivered from the Japanese market. If you've been searching for one of these, this is the one to get!
