King Seiko, KS, Hi Beat, 1973 Vintage Watch 5626-7111 , Serviced, G/teed

Description: The King Seiko is the flagship of the Seiko range along with the Grand Seiko. It is feature packed and superbly constructed. This example is in excellent, near mint condition all round and presents beautifully. All functions work perfectly. The case is in great condition with only light patina. It has been lightly re-polished. The only faults I could find are a couple of light scratches near 2 and 3 and the hands are a little aged near the centre (see close up pic). The 5626B movement is very sophisticated and refined. It was the thinnest automatic available when it was introduced and this variation features the high beat, 28,800BPH beat rate . It has been professionally overhauled/serviced and performs faultlessly. Included is the presentation box, photographed. Rare, distinctive, feature packed and in excellent condition; Ticks all the boxes for the serious collector.

So I have started adding a photo of the movement, disassembled ready to go through the cleaning machine. All old dried up lubricants, crud and anything else that shouldn't be there is cleaned away. Then, it is reassembled, lubricated, adjustments made and regulated.Customer satisfaction is our priority.

Please be aware that, in recent times, international postage is experiencing longer than usual delays. About vintage mechanical watches:A vintage mechanical watch will not perform like a modern quartz (electronic) watch. Also, with age comes fragility and it may no longer be ideal as a daily wearer. It should be treated for what it is, something old, classical and special. Treat it as you would a vintage car - not ideal to use as a “daily driver”. Keep it in the condition at which you bought it and it will hold or, indeed, increase its value. Use it every day and it will go backwards.About Me: I am a born again watchmaker! I finished my apprenticeship in 1973 having completed technical training at the RMIT, Melbourne. In 1977 I went into retail (jewellery and watches). In the mid 90’s I realised that the watches that once were common had become rare and I began to appreciate their beauty both aesthetically and mechanically. That’s when I started collecting classics. When covid hit in 2020, I retired from retail, set up a workshop at home, regained my skills and am now restoring classics with a passion.
