Hi everyone!

I had other sales going to raise funds for bills.  Now that my bills are paid, I've gotten the itch to get a Sumo again (sold my last one to get the 300m MM).

So, these are up for sale just for that purpose.

Prices are shipped worldwide, and include me absorbing paypal fees.  Insurance is the buyers expense.

Feel free to PM/e-mail me with any questions.  TopherNOSPAM1556 at sbcglobal dot net. 

First up...my modified Seiko Black Monster.  $225.

Runs great.  Keeps time to +/-6 spd when worn on the wrist.  If on a winder (at least mine) it tends to run about -5 to -7 spd.  I need to check the serial, but this should be the 7S26B movement.  It must have been regulated while it was apart.

It has a finely-blasted (and fully blasted) case/bezel/caseback.  It will come with a matching watchadoo bracelet sized to a 7.25" wrist.  The 'doo also has a bunch of matching extra links.  I need to count them, but something like 4 or 5 extra links...so it can be sized for some huge wrists.  I do not (to my knowledge) have the standard rubber for this.

It has a set of aftermarket Plongeur hands using C1 Superlite lume.  They glow as brightly and as long as the stock Seiko markers.  The lume on the hands though is white, where the Seiko markers have a bit of green to them.  The orange minute hand is a very nice and bright orange.

I was examining it for any marks, and the only thing I found was a small ding on the 9 o'clock side of the case.  Other than that, it looks great to me.  The bracelet may have a few light marks from being worn...but I'm a 'desk diver' that's very easy on watches.  Bezel lines up as it should, and turns/clicks smoothly and nicely.  Crown threads in an out nice and smooth.

No box/papers.







 

Next is my Citizen NY0054-04LB $110.

Ti Diver using a common Citizen Miyota movement.  It is, surprisingly, my most accurate automatic movement currently (yep...it's more accurate than my MarineMaster!).  On the wrist or the winder it keeps time to +/- 5 spd.

No marks anywhere on the watch that I know of.  It will come with two straps.  The standard rubber 'dive limits' strap which has been boiled in a coffee mug to shape the strap,  as well as a camo-type leather backed strap.

Bezel turns/clicks as it should.  The crown on this for some reason feels rough as it's screwed down, but I suspect this is more a feeling from the movement (it's a handwinding but not hacking movement).  It is not cross-threaded, as I always turn the crowns backwards to make sure they properly click into the threads before screwing down.

I should have the box/papers for this.
