Overhauled JDM Seiko Goldfeather manual winding, 1963 mens dress watch
$675
SHIPPING OFFERED
The Seiko Goldfeather stands out as it incorporates Seiko's thinnest three-handed, manually-wound calibre—the 60M. Designed with a focus on thinness and precision, the Goldfeather was hand-assembled and regulated.
The gold case of this Seiko Goldfeather is in remarkable condition, almost unmarked. The dial boasts a silver "applied dial" with HGP (heavy gold plate) markers, perfectly complemented by the gold plated pencil hands and central second sweep.
The case is AGF, all gold filled. Think of AGF as really thick gold plating that is applied as a separate sheet of gold bonded onto the steel case. How thick is the gold layer on these watches? Well, regular gold plating is around 0.5 microns (5/10000 of a mm) – very thin. It’s only about 3500 atoms thick. Maybe that explains why it rarely looks good and lasts about as long as an ice cream in the summer sun. Vermeil gold plating is typically 2.5 microns thick, so 5 times thicker than regular gold plated, but still not very good. The gold cap on this watch is 32 times thicker than Vermeil and 160 times thicker than regular gold plate.
