white dial Seiko 7c43-700b arrived today...

Post by mariod » 28 Sep 2015 17:13

Just picked up this white dial Seiko 7c43-700b 200m Professional quartz diver. It's probably not to everyone's taste but I am so glad that I finally found one after years of looking for one. This one is probably even rarer than my beloved Seiko Scubapro divers. During the last decade I have only seen three for sale (one from the UK and two from Australia and all of them popped up during the last three months). It's obviously not a JDM diver as it comes with a "SQ Dial" and not with a kanji day wheel. I don't know for how long these have been made but according to its serial number this one is the 47th produced in February 1988.

this one is going to get restored best I can but I'm still waiting for a NOS Crystal to arrive...

Thanks for looking and please feel free to share your 7c43-700b or any further information about this rare bird.

Not a fan of white dial but this one looks good.

Especially the blue text.

Sorry for the typos..am using auto correction.

I like a white dial too, I know it's a 7002 mod but it's basically 20 years old, runs at under +5 secs a day and still a working 150m tool.Image

Bad enough you managed to snag that rare white dial Seiko.

But 2 sets of NOS Dials as well...now that's just too much....

I'm kidding, of course. Great score :)
