THE REMAINING TWO G-SHOCK/PATHFINDER, I'LL DO $120 SHIPPED FOR THE PAIR.

I will only communicate through DM/PM here on the forum... I will not respond to emails. Any questions, please free to ask.

Up for sale are eight watches. I have priced all these watches very fairly and have left plenty of room for buyers to flip them for a profit, should that be a direction they are leaning.

All are worn and used but NEVER abused (details below for each), all function as they should, and each are running and keep excellent time. Mind you, these are all USED (most vintage) watches so please look at the pics and ask questions. There will be some marks on the cases and none of these cases have been polished in any way. I care for everything I own very well and these have all been sitting in one of several watch display cases in my large gun safe; with the solar-powered watches under a timed lighting controller. None are perfect, but all operate appropriately and solidly. I have recently put fresh Energizer or Renata batteries in ALL the quartz watches.

PAYMENT AND SHIPPING: I will accept Zelle or PayPal G&S. For those with low feedback count or new accounts, payment will by Zelle or PPFF... no exceptions. I will ship, at my expense, from my home in Texas, via USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate. I will not ship to Mexico, Canada, or any location overseas. Shipping will occur NEXT BUSINESS DAY.

OFFERS: I will certainly entertain offers, however, please be reasonable, and no low-balls. Also, please see forum rules on making offers, and then READ THE LINK in my signature block below BEFORE making an offer.

TRADES AND PICS: No trades on these, thanks. I apologize for the minor dust, fingerprints, and reflections in these pics. I try. Some PICS are below (in numerical order according to item) and a complete album with many more of each is available at: https://photos.app.goo.gl/n3WZESHfTnUydwBs7

1. ***SOLD*** - VINTAGE ZODIAC SEA WOLF AUTOMATIC - An absolute classic that I purchased directly from Yuriy Vakulenko, the gentleman who literally wrote the the bible on collecting vintage Zodiac watches. Serviced and restored completely, top to bottom, in 2019 by Yuriy, and he dated this particular watch to 1964. Comes as shown and keeps excellent time, and has an automatic and hand-winding/hacking movement. Has a gorgeous antiqued plated brass bezel, showing a nice patina, a signed crown and signed caseback, also with terrific patina. There are some marks on the case from wear and age. Original vintage lume, which only glows for seconds but is intact. No box or bracelet, just on a black and grey 18mm NATO as seen in the pics. It will also come with two vintage 17mm GI-issue nylon straps, as seen. It is in great condition for a 60+yr-old watch with better-than-average patina and wear given its age. Offering this WAY below market price, especially given its amazing condition.

2. ***SOLD*** - SEIKO SKX013 AUTOMATIC - The infamous and discontinued "mid-size" SKX from Seiko is a beauty and a great cushioned-case diver. I have owned this watch for about 7 years and it was made in February 2009. It's all original on Jubilee... the only thing I changed is by adding a full-lume bezel (see pic) on this baby. The original Seiko bezel is included, as shown. I do not have any additional links and it will currently accomodate a 7.35" wrist (my current wrist size). It will also include an unmarked but period-correct Seiko box. Runs beautifully with wonderfully bright lume. These look great on 20mm NATOs or rubber but I, unfortunately, do not have any to include for this sale. I don't know what else to add other than this is just a superbly comfortable, attractive and reliable automatic diver.

3. ***SOLD*** - VINTAGE SEIKO 7548-700F "STORMIN' NORMAN" QUARTZ - Made in April 1982, I have owned this watch for at least three decades... I believe I bought it off a fellow cop if my memory serves me. Often called the "Stormin' Norman" as this is one of the watches that General Norman H. Schwarzkopf was always seen wearing (along with his Rolex) while he was serving as Commander-in-Chief, United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) during the Gulf War. Wearing a watch on each wrist is now known as the "Schwarzkopf" because of this practice and his habit to do so. This is a beautiful classic quartz Pepsi diver and I just replaced the battery with a fresh Renata 386/SR43W battery (see pics in album) and inspected/cleaned the backside of the case and movement while I had it open. As you can see the coil block is spotless... which is critical to these watches running properly, which it does (these are often seen carelessly nicked during battery changes... mine is not). It does not come with a box, but it does have a newly-installed and unworn Seiko rubber dive strap, a brand new and unworn 22mm Uncle Seiko rubber strap, a brand new and unworn 22mm Seiko Jubilee bracelet, and a brand new and unworn 22mm Red/White/Blue NATO strap to compliment the Pepsi dial. I am also including its original Seiko rubber dive strap, which has grown stiff over the years. This watch is in all-original condition and looks great for its age. The lume is obviously worn out (it glows for a couple seconds and then goes out) but still in excellent patina'd condition. The case has moderate wear and some very light pitting... very common for vintage worn Seikos. A tremendous and collectible vintage quartz diver. It will come with a brand new spare Renata 386/SR43W battery as I have no further use for it.

4. ***SOLD*** - VINTAGE VIETNAM-ERA SEIKO 6619-8070 AUTOMATIC - A vintage October 1965-made Seiko Vietnam-era watch with quickset-date feature, often used by US military personnel and sold at PXs worldwide back in the 1960s. It does not come with a box but it comes with a couple original Seiko bracelets that I bought separately years ago, and they are identical to what was sold on the original. I have worn this on NATO and I have included a brand new all-gray NATO strap... never worn. It will also include a vintage Horton Perlon watch strap . Please note, there appears to be something lodged under the indice at the 12 o'clock position but does not affect function at all. I have not attempted to open the watch up to retrieve it. A watchmaker or jewelry could do this without much issue. This watch keeps excellent time but I have only discounted this watch due to the the small debris lodged under the indice. Other than that, it's a gem with very little sign of patina for its age.

5. ***SOLD*** - BLACK TITANIUM "JDM" CASIO PROTREK SOLAR QUARTZ PATHFINDER PRW-1500YTJ - Don't see these come up for sale very often, especially in the US. I bought this watch toward the end of my military career. The titanium bracelet has seen some obvious wear and I do not have any spare links. For reference, the bracelet fits my 7.35" wrist loosely. It comes with it's original spare matching black-buckle Casio Solar Pathfinder rubber strap, as seen, but no box or manual. It also comes with original Casio Pathfinder end-pieces to convert the watch to be worn with NATO/ZULU straps. Runs great with all functions working as it should.

6. ***SOLD*** - CASIO PATHFINDER PAG-40 QUARTZ - One of my most favorite Pathfinders ever made; tough and reliable and I have owned three over the decades since they were introduced. I purchased this one in 2009. This is the classic multi-function quartz triple sensor Pathfinder with the easiest-reading dual-layered LCD display, with a superb afterglow electric-powered LED light. Comes as shown with no box or manual but tons of vids online of this watch. I also recently changed the batteries in this watch with four fresh Energizer 395 batteries (see pic). All buttons and functions work as they should. It will come with a brand new spare Energizer 395 battery as I have no further use for it.

7. $90 - CASIO SOLAR QUARTZ PATHFINDER "GO GREEN" PAG-110C-3CR - A limited release in 2010, a wonderful Solar Pathfinder in an all-green, "Eco-Friendly" appearance. In great condition with just a little wear... I may have worn it 8-10 times over all the years I've owned it. Comes in original packaging with Seiko instructions and hang tag. All buttons and functions work as they should. Another great price on a rarely seen Pathfinder.

8. $55 - VINTAGE CASIO QUARTZ G-SHOCK DW-004 - I purchased this around late 1998ish and it's still in incredible condition. It's been worn but not abused and the afterglow electric-powered LED light is bright. I just put a fresh Energizer 2016 battery in it (see pic). No box or manual. Runs beautifully and all buttons and functions work as they should. It will come with a brand new spare Energizer 2016 battery as I have no further use for it.

Thanks for looking, and have a great week!
Rob
