Seiko 5 Automatic 6119-7040 – vintage silver sunburst dial, 21 jewels, day-date, stainless steel barrel-shaped case with fluted bezel, on a stainless steel bracelet. PLEASE NOTE: no Seiko markings were found on the bracelet clasp, so the originality of the bracelet cannot be confirmed. Rust-coloured spots are visible on several link undersides and edges and near the end links, and there is brownish, rust-coloured residue at the junctions between the case and end links and around the caseback edge and lug undersides. The clasp cover has many hairline scratches. The minute hand shows slight speckling at close range. The first digit of the serial number on the caseback is worn, so the exact production year cannot be confirmed; the watch dates from the late 1960s to early 1970s. No spare links are included. Please check the photos carefully before bidding.
