Needing little to no introduction, the 6138-8020 "Panda" is easily the most sought after vintage Seiko available. Finding unmolested original examples has nearly become an exercise in futility. The market is saturated with examples cobbled together with aftermarket dials, hands, tachymetric rings, pushers, and overly polished cases. The same can’t be said about this example from May of 1973. It is unbelievably well preserved, and an absolutely original example aside from a replacement crystal. A description of what makes this watch noteworthy and important will be forgone in this listing. It is what it is, and a true opportunity for those looking to add one to their own collection. All functions are operating smoothly, and post service, the 6138B is keeping near perfect time. We’ve strapped it to a distressed black leather for clean formal finish and comfort on the wrist.
