Vintage 1968 Grand Seiko High Beat Hand Winding Wristwatch 4520-8000 Date 36mm

Stunning 45GS Produced in September 1968. The 45GS series was the second, and final, series to be manufactured by the Daini Seikosha company. This 4520-8000 is the desirable no-date version of the 4522-8000 and adheres very closely to the Grand Seiko “Grammar of Design”.
 
This example presented here is in overall very good original condition. The case shows small signs of wear and tear, but it does retain its sharp edges and brushed finishing of the front surface between the lugs (See Photos) The case back is in very good condition, with a well preserved gold medallion with original frosting ( we have a clear case back protector on in the photos/video ). The original dial with applied logos condition is the best I have seen it this model, printing and dial surface very sharp and clean.
 
Keeping very good Time. Hacking works as it should. Service History Unknown and more than likely due. All Original Factory Polish with Patina (Not Re-Polished) Case back Medallion and text in amazing original condition. Comes fitted with a new 18mm Leather Strap. Seals are Orignial and old, so not currently waterproof.
 
Please study the photos and video carefully as they show the condition of the watch in more detail.
 
Owning a Vintage Watch:
 
Mechanical watches do not keep perfect time like a battery-powered watch. In addition, they do require service occasionally.
Since these pieces are vintage or pre-owned, please expect wear and patina from past usage and age.
If dropped, mishandled or otherwise abused, the movement or other parts of the watch can be damaged. Please handle with care. We hope you enjoy this item and wear it in good health for years to come!
