Seiko 7A38 - by the numbers

Seems I missed another bot swarm peak activity yesterday afternoon - it's now up to 1981 !

Of course flobaca already had another one ready and prepared - 'waiting in the wings', so to speak. Yesterday evening he listed yet another 7A38-702H in average worn condition. As usual it's a 7-day auction listing, but this time with an unmolested bezel and a lower more tempting (notice I didn't sa...

Just found another Loris Azzaro D900, with what looks like the dark blue dial, that's been listed on LeBonCoin, as simply Montre femme AZZARO , since 10th December 2024, asking an equally ridiculous €240 Euros !! :o https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/montres_bijoux/2900852330 LorisAzzaro-D900-Ladies-Stainl...

Before anybody else kindly points it out, yes, I'm already aware that there's another Loris Azzaro D900 listed on eBay. ;) It has a black dial and is fitted with a non-original stainless bracelet. The Egyptian seller first listed it on 27th December 2024, originally asking $200 as a Buy-it-Now. He's...

As I wrote at the bottom of that first WRUW post .... Incidentally, I'm still looking for a blue dialed version of the H900, which I'm certain must exist, because it was Loris Azzaro's favourite colour . so if you ever see one offered for sale, please let me know. So naturally I still have an eBay s...

Other than two WRUW thread posts, here and here , in 2021 and 2022, I've hardly mentioned the Loris Azzaro re-branded 7A38's on this forum. However, I did write about them, in quite some detail, in a thread on the old archived forum: Yema (C.G.H.) N7's and N8's rebranded as 'Fashion Watches' (skip p...

In the early hours of this morning, greedy profiteering US eBay re-seller rtm127 (a.k.a. Ryan Marucheau of 'Watch and Jewelry Exchange') listed another ridiculously over-priced JDM 7A38, which naturally came from his usual source, Yahoo Japan auctions. This time it's an average condition titanium 7...

Having re-listed them countless times (since September and October last year), flobaca 's two 7A38-702H's eventually sold this afternoon for best offers; considerably less than the laughable $525 and $550 he was originally asking for them. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/227239570200 and https://www.ebay...

Around the same time, he also listed another Cartier Ferrari Formula Cal. 531 which he'd sourced from Yahoo Japan auctions. This one's a stainless and gold two-tone with a red dial (model F.610.48.01), for which he's asking a typically greedy thousand dollars. But, in reality, it's not the best of e...

PS - Incidentally, rtm127 now has three 7A38-6030's listed on eBay - all ex-Yahoo Japan and all greedily over-priced. At the risk of repeating myself .... In the early hours of this morning, greedy profiteering US eBay re-seller Ryan Marucheau, a.k.a. Watch and Jewelry Exchange listed another well-...

It should not be polished. The original finish is matt anodized silver. You could try re-spraying it with an aerosol paint.

More or less as expected, flobaca 's most recent stainless 7A38-7020 sold relatively quickly (compared to most of his other offerings). It went for a reduced opening bid price of $600, yesterday afternoon, after only one re-listing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/227208592614 7A38-7020-Stainless+Grey-eB...

Ryan Marucheau's ( rtm127 ) grossly over-priced ex-Yahoo Japan Cartier Ferrari Formula '7A38' sold yesterday afternoon for his greedily marked up Buy-it-Now asking price of $1200. And they say there's one born every minute. :roll: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/358106489985 CartierFF-7A38-Black+Gold-Bla...

Friday 13th Part II - unlucky for some. Wearing my almost mint JDM 7A38-6030 SJS028.


Yes it's a re-post, but would anybody like to guess when / where from ?

Here's what looks like another one*, in better, almost new unused condition, listed yesterday by another UK eBay seller: Vtg 22m.

As I wrote in your original thread, you need to be patient and keep looking. This B1688S was just re-listed by a UK seller.

You need to be patient and keep looking. This B1688S was listed by a UK eBay seller overnight.

Checking ended items, it appears that profiteering UK eBay re-seller hollizaak007 's two-tone 7A38-728A eventually sold yesterday afternoon for that reduced £275 Buy-it-Now price. Only took him 2 years and 3 months to find a mug punter. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/187965025081 7A38-728A-Stainless+Gol...

Earlier this afternoon, profiteering US eBay re-seller flobaca listed yet another stainless 7A38-7020 as a 7-day auction with an opening bid price of $650 and the option to make an offer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/358178937695 7A38-7020-Stainless+Grey-eBay-Feb2026-(Re-seller)-Flobaca-Listing.jpg rs...

The bezel is retained by a rubber O-ring, running in a groove. They can be levered off using a case knife. The bezel insert is thin aluminium and easily bent.
