7A38-6020 SAA043J - Priced sensibly and sold fast on WUS !

[Seiko7A38]

There are still a couple of brown PVD coated 7A38-6020's unsold on eBay, that have been re-listed by Italian sellers ad nauseam since last year. Needless to say, both a typically over-priced for their condition.

Yesterday evening, a Spanish seller posted a decent example, with minimal coating wear, on WatchuSeek, with a very reasonable asking price of $345 (including worldwide shipping). By the time I saw the post, he'd already been sent a PM and it was marked up as 'SOLD' a couple of hours later.

I suspect this second example, posted FS on WatchuSeek yesterday, with rather more wear to the brown PVD coating and stated chronograph reset fault, may take a little longer to sell - regardless of the fact it's been fitted with a NOS bezel. Asking price for this one is a somewhat optimistic $550.

Note his slight under-statement: Some wear on the bracelet and head shows through to the black undercoating...

It also shows through to the base metal on the 12 o'clock side of the bracelet.
