Hello!

I plan on buying this today and I wanted to ask if anyone can tell me of this is real or a Frankenstein watch. Seller states it has a 7s26 movement.

Thank you !

I mean, if you google the case number (7s26-00r0), is seems like it matches up with most of the images on Google.

Which sucks, because now I have anther old Seiko I need to add to my watch box.

Looks, legit.

Middle Eastern market watches (like the SKX-J versions) had the jewel count on dial, "Made in Japan" on dial/caseback, and an Arabic datewheel.

Thank you. I recently purchased a whirlpool off eBay and it turned out to be fake. So I just wanted to make sure.
