NOS with tag 7A38-714A SAA049J on eBay

[Seiko7A38]

As something of a respite from the current pricing madness, a comparatively rare NOS example of the black chrome 7A38-714A SAA049J was listed on eBay this morning, with what I'd consider a sensible Buy-it-Now price of €550 Euros.

The only reason I'm writing it up here (instead of frantically making the seller an offer), is I already have one in a similar NOS condition, which I bought from an Italian collector ('itau' - see blog) in August 2020. It was the very last Seiko 7A38 I needed to complete my collection of every model variant.

It took a little longer than I expected, but that NOS 7A38-714A sold earlier this morning for an undisclosed best offer.
