Anyone know any Vintage Grand Seiko Hi Beat experts ?

[Speed]

Just purchased a Grand Seiko Hi Beat 6145-8000 off the bay. My first vintage purchase. Not a huge amount of $ so I was willing to take a bit of a chance.

The watch looks to be nicely refurbished. I.e. Case refinished. Not a huge deal to me. We're not talking about a SS Patek Unicorn! I plan to wear the watch. Keeping good time after a few days. Love listening to the fast ticking!

Seller claimed all original - save for disclosed dial restoration.

The crystal is *domed* - every example I can find shows a stepped / squared off crystal. I've included a link to a nice review...may reach out to the writer.

Seller swears his watchmaker says the crystal is original.


Can anyone help?
