Slightly confused YJ listing for a titanium 7A38-7030

Post by Seiko7A38 »

This titanium 7A38-7030, fitted with an incorrect replacement bracelet (a Seiko p/n YB21A off the similar appearing 7T42-7A10), was listed on Yahoo Japan earlier this morning as a 7-day auction with an opening bid price of 10,000 Yen. Before I'd even clicked on the summary, I could tell something was not quite right (apart from the bracelet). :lol:

Apart from having uploaded a photo of his 7T42-7A10 as the primary image, he's also erroneously included another.

He has also listed the 7T42-7A10 this morning - the 5 photos in that listing are all of the correct watch. I checked. :roll:

The Japanese seller must have been alerted to his careless mistake. Rather than amend his existing listing, he ended it yesterday afternoon and re-listed it afresh, without the two erroneous photos of his 7T42-7A10.

That re-listed 7-day Yahoo Japan auction for a titanium 7A38-7030, fitted with a non-original Seiko p/n YB21A bracelet, ended a few minutes ago, the original scheduled finishing time having been automatically extended by 15 minutes due to late placed bids. It sold for ¥63,000 Yen after 23 bids, equivalent to approx. $ 574.40 USD / £407.10 GBP.
