Seiko

My seiko 6217......

Guys, i’m not used to post here, use to post at JLC forum. But this one I really would like to share with you. I bought it from a friend of mine last year, with an aftermarket dial and hands, in not so good condition. I really like the watch, but I was without hope to find an original dial and hands for it. So, I bought a new aftermarket dial, and a set of aftermarket hands and installed on it. I kept myself looking for an original dial and hands, I adore the color and finish from the original dial, but I was looking without much hope to find one in good shape for a reasonable price. Few months ago, I tried a last shot and sent an email for a great guy that use to have a lot of Seiko parts and for my surprise he told me that he had a NOS dial that he was keeping for himself, but he decided that he could sell it for me as he gave up restoring one 62 for him. So I bought it! It took something like 45 days to arrive to brazil because of Brazilian customs. Last week I finally got it and had it installed! Meanwhile, a friend of mine gave me as a gift a set of original hands and I also hade it installed! Well, enough said, let’s have so photos……
