Vintage early 1960's Seiko Seikomatic J13044 - 30M "Proof"

Description: FOR SALE IS A STRIKING EARLY 1960's SEIKOMATIC J13044 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. 1960's SEIKO BOX INCLUDED.CASE: NEAR MINT LARGE SOLID STEEL CASE MEASURING A NICE 36 mm WIDE by 45 mm LUG TO LUG. SUCH A SIMPLE AND ELEGANT DESIGN WITH THE THIN BEZEL AND SLIM PROFILE. BUT, FOR A WATCH OF THIS ERA IT IS QUITE LARGE AND WEARS NICELY DUE TO THAT THIN BEZEL/WIDE DIAL AND THAT LONG LUG TO LUG LENGTH. CHECK OUT THE FACTORY ORIGINAL FINISH ON THIS WITH THAT COOL VERTICAL BRUSHING ON THE SIDES, THE MIRRORED CASE TOP AND THOSE GORGEOUS FACETED LUGS. THE CASE BACK DOES HAVE SOME AGED RELATED WEAR, BUT YOU CAN STILL MAKE OUT SOME OF THE TEXT (see photos).DIAL: MINIMALISM AND SIMPLICITY DEFINED AND AS CLASSY AS THEY COME. CHECK OUT THAT BEAUTIFUL SUNBURST SILVER DIAL IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. I LOVE THOSE BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL APPLIED STEEL MARKERS AND THOSE PROMINENT LONG DAUPHINE HANDS. CHECK OUT THAT POP OF COLOR WITH THE "30" IN BLUE. COOL SLOPING SILVER CHAPTER RING ADDS SOME NICE DEPTH TO THE DIAL AS WELL. THIS THING IS JUST STUNNING WHEN THE SUN HITS THAT FACE. MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON A 20 JEWEL IN-HOUSE SEIKO CAL.603 AUTOMATIC. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT THE WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE CASE BACK AND DID NOT WANT TO FORCE IT AND RISK DAMAGING THE CASE.WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A COOL VINTAGE STYLE BLACK LEATHER STRAP WHICH MATCHES NICELY WITH THE CASE AND DIAL. THIS IS A REALLY CLEAN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF SEIKO'S CLASSIC DESIGNS. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS MODEL IS IT COMBINES THE STYLE AND ELEGANCE OF THE EARLY 1960s WATCHES IN A PACKAGE THAT WEARS MORE MODERN. YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT 1960s SEIKO......OR REALLY SEIKO FROM ANY ERA. PLEASE EXAMINE PHOTOS CLOSELY AND ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO PURCHASE AS I DO NOT TAKE RETURNS ON TIMEPIECES. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND BE WELL.
