***SOLD***
This is the original Bad Boy 1st generation, discontinued - no longer available SEIKO "BLACK MONSTER" SKX779 with factory bracelet, box, tag, extra links, etc.
Seiko is now on the expensive and not as popular third generation after the short-lived and no so popular with purists second generation attempt. This has the great lume, square indices as well as the rugged, reliable and proven durable 7S26 movement.
The watch is VG-EX and I would rate at 95%.
It was/is my personal Black Monster that I purchased brand new. It has the usual desk diving marks on the bracelet clasp which I have tried as best I can to display in the clasp photo. Bracelet is as tight as the day I received it as shown in the photo.
There is a mark at the 12 o'clock position on the rotating bezel that is smaller than the point on a ball point pen's ball; I know as I compared it with a ball point using a loupe to view. In the same spot (adjacent) on the case is a smaller mark that is perhaps the size of a pin - much smaller than a ball point, as viewed like wise with a loupe. The former is just barely noticeable to the naked eye and the latter is not noticeable to the naked eye. I say that because I wear 1.50 readers and viewed it with a pair of 1.75 glasses.
If you've wanted an original Black Monster with factory bracelet and the trimmings without paying the "shoot for the stars" prices that are being asked, then this is your watch.
$250 (net) shipped CONUS.
