Authentication Notes

Combination

HighProbable

Assess against the manufacturer's archive, not the market

Very few examples exist and the historical stakes are high. Specification comparison against other listings is close to worthless here, because the population of listings is small enough to be dominated by any single misdescribed watch. Direct enquiry to Seiko's corporate archive or museum is the appropriate route, and its absence should be stated as a limitation of any assessment.
