Seiko 7A38 - by the numbers

Here's another 7A38 with four sevens in the serial number, that I've just spotted. This well-worn stainless 7A38-7270 sold last night on eBay in the States for a mere $25 . The listing was live for less than 10 minutes. Serial number 776077. That stainless 7A38-7270 s/n 776077 has been doing the ro...

Looks like they're on the move again. :roll: The latest re-listing, yesterday evening, is up by another $50 to $599. :lol: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-VINTAGE-1975-SEIKO-7A38,-15(!)-JEWELS-QUARTZ-CHRONOMETER-DAY-&-DATE!/256445908155 7A38-7000-Gold-WrongBracelet-eBay-March2024-martinachertok-...

After four more re-listings @ $520, martinachertok 's latest re-listing, earlier this morning, has crept up to $549. :lol: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-VINTAGE-1975-SEIKO-7A38,-15%28!%29-JEWELS-QUARTZ-CHRONOMETER-DAY-&-DATE!/256444334369 7A38-7000-Gold-WrongBracelet-eBay-March2024-martinacher...

Because I don't collect 7A28's - only 7A38's.

It's remarkable how supposedly 'new old stock' examples of these relatively scarce variants still keep turning up on eBay Italy after all these years. Another NOS 7A38-6060 SAA071J was listed yesterday afternoon. This one is double the price of the previous example - the seller is asking €700 Euros ...

Those 10 remaining re-listings have now been deleted. Presumably by eBay.

Continuing in summary mode, as before .... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315192674937 (Ended on Fri, 1 Mar at 11:35 AM because the item is no longer available.) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315192776109 (Ended on Fri, 1 Mar at 11:44 AM because the item is no longer available.) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/...

That re-listing was ended by the seller on Fri, 1 Mar at 10:52 AM because the item was allegedly no longer available. :lol: He immediately re-listed it, in doing so, increasing the Buy-it-Now price from the previous €379.99 to €399.99 Euros. :o https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Orologio-Puma-Y19904-50-chro...

After an absence of over two weeks, it's back on eBay this morning, re-listed for the 15th time.

He's currently listing a total of 1975 items on Poshmark. It's predominantly the usual cheap junk jewellery, but there are also 60 plus Seiko watches , including 4 x 7A28-7040/9's ; one 7A38-7080 (Head Only) and a total of 12 X 7A48's : there are the two 7A48-7010's (one NOS) and ten 7A38-7000/9's. ...

Surprisingly, MM has actually received a few positive feedbacks over the last couple of weeks, but that hasn't prevented his overall eBay feedback rating falling to 84.7% . Although he hasn't been banned, he appears to have abandoned his eBay account. Nothing new has been listed (or re-listed) since...

Checking my eBay watching page, I see that flobaca ended his latest 7-day re-listing for that well-worn 7A38-7069, fitted with a non-original replacement bracelet, late last night, because the item was no longer available. If he did manage to sell it off eBay, I can't believe he'd have got anything ...

Joe recently posted a photo of his much-loved stainless 7A38-7280 on WatchUseek, in this 3-watch SOTC thread.

Daisuke Shimizu 's latest 6-day re-listing (still retaining the same item number) is down another ¥30K to ¥348,000 Yen. But I can't help feeling there's still a very long way to go. rsz_7a38-6000-divers-stainless-franken-panda-600l-603l-splitdial-wrongbracelet-yahoojapan-feb2024-another-re-listing.j...

Here's another example in a similar vein. This gold-tone 7A38-7190, fitted with an incorrect replacement Seiko bracelet was listed yesterday evening by a dishonest US eBay seller. The ridiculous $600 Buy-it-Now price should be enough of a deterrent to even the most foolhardy mug punter. But you neve...

Mad Martinachertok' s latest re-listing for that gold-tone 7A38-7000 is back up to $520 ! :lol: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-VINTAGE-1975-SEIKO-7A38,-15(!)-JEWELS-QUARTZ-CHRONOMETER-DAY-&-DATE!/266679857421 7A38-7000-Gold-WrongBracelet-eBay-Feb2024-martinachertok-Another-Re-Listing.jpg

Just a couple of quick updates on Simone's latest stainless 7A38-7020 (one of them slightly belated) .... Earlier this week, he advertised it for sale on SCWF Trading Post, asking €1000 Euros: https://www.thewatchsite.com/threads/seiko-7a38-7020-royal-oak.351641/#post-3095204 7A38-7020-Stainless+Gre...

On Tuesday evening, he replaced it with another 7-day listing for a 7A38-7069, which he's also asking cheekily $300 for ! This one's best politely described as being in well worn condition. The bezel looks like it's been polished to remove the last remaining traces of gold plating and it's been fitt...

Just as I predicted in my previous post, profiteering US eBay re-seller flobaca listed that same 7A38-7069 yesterday evening as a 7-day auction with an opening bid price of $325. He's pitched it higher than usual, but then this one's in much nicer condition than some of his previous examples. Wheth...

This unusual '7A38', which is supposed to be a 'Mint New' / 'Eastern Market Only Product', was listed yesterday evening by a dishonest Italian eBay seller, with a Buy-it-Now price of €400 Euros. In reality it's nothing of the sort. It's a complete Franken. The case (including Roman numeral dial ring...
