RARE 1967 Seiko "62MAS" 6127-8001 | Near New Old Stock! [In Stock - Episode 1]

KibbleWatches.co.uk/collection...
We have here a 1967 Seiko “62MAS'' probably one of the best examples you’ll ever likely see. The letters "MAS" come from "Seikomatic Selfdater", the caliber 6217 was fitted to the Seikomatic 8000 range. First released in 1965. Seiko saw an opportunity to capture the recreational and professional dive market, such as saturation divers and welders. At 150m water resistance it was a true tool watch of its day, therefore finding examples in such original untouched condition is so rare. Its 37mm stainless steel case, large for its time, has a curved profile making it very comfortable on the wrist. Its polished sides are met by brushed lugs. The edges on this example are razor-sharp and untouched. The ridged bezel has a black insert with 0-60 minute markings, a lume pip at 12 o’clock. A heavily domed acrylic crystal is fitted with a spare in its original packet. Large applied baton markers with lume infilled centres sit majestically above the dial, marking the hours. A date window is recessed at 3 o’clock. Broad baton hands with lume complemented with a centre seconds hand with a lume tip. On the back, a screw-down case back complete with its original blue sticker still in place, the engraving of the dolphin and the serial numbers are as crisp as the day it left the factory. along with a large signed crown. Inside we have the Automatic Seiko 6217A, 17 Jewels beating at 18,000 beats per hour with a quick set date. Fitted on an original Swiss black tropic strap of the same period.
This is the first episode of my new series "In Stock" where we will take a closer look at a select watch that is current In Stock in my store. Let me know what you think of this idea!

I got my 1967 6217 8001 while in Viet Nam. I bought it from another soldier leaving for home. $20. Still working....Thee bands but still working.

Pause at 0:30, looks like the pip at 12 o'clock has a smiley face on it :)

[@CanadianBeachcomber]

I would have been a couple of years old when that watch was manufactured. It is reminiscent of Japanese design and style from that era; like the better examples in my vintage camera collection. Thank you for sharing.

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

Thank you for watching Chris! Was certainly a stunning example and incredible history

[@EliteSim]

Wow, that is quite a find, you never see them in that good condition. Whoever ends up with it is a really lucky person.

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

Thank you! The new owner will be receiving it tomorrow and he is very excited!

[@EliteSim]

@@itsKibbleTalksWatches I can imagine. It's a rare find

[@stevefox8605]

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

Thank you for watching Steve

[@maxx_vdv4960]

Great review mate, I'd love to own these one day!😍

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

I do not blame you! Thank you for watching

[@faisalingalong]

Wow. Never seen one as nice.

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

Neither had I and I suspect I won't again!

[@foxy2648]

Love this. Im looking at the BB 36, I know Jewellers will take some money off when asked. How is Beaver Brooks with this?

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

Can't go wrong with a BB36, I no longer work for any jewellers and I'm full time with KibbleWatches. But I know that it is at the boutique/store discretion on discounts, you should be able to get yourself something off for sure.

[@sam9242]

I had one of those before I got my Submariner. Wish I could find that strap. They used to be everywhere.

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

Amazing! The straps alone are worth a pretty penny now too.

[@asfhaikalbt9194]

LOVE your videos man. can you consider making SOTC please?

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

Thank you for the comment, I'll look at doing one soon :)

[@yasseraqary3983]

I have this one, and proud owner

[@nahidkhan1234]

You are such a good salesman 🤣

[@dado380]

Grail watch for any Seiko nuts,I would gladly trade any Sub for 62mas!!

[@locsman]

I own the danai version of this example. beige dial with horseshoe back.Much rarer.

[@ventustay]

Hi, mind if I ask how much this new old stock sold for?

[@itsKibbleTalksWatches]

Thank you for watching. To protect the new owner and the previous owner I won't disclose how much exactly it sold for I'm afraid. But north of £5,000.

[@kikomachine8276]

Can I ask how much that costs? Thank you

[@dado380]

Around 9 to even 11k for first batch with small crown.

[@user-pi6vz5hr3c]

Yep, it's a Seiko. The bezel is off.
