Here is a legendary Seiko Sportura Kinetic, one of the 'Aliens' / 'Jay Leno' from the late nineties and early 2000s! This one is a FULL SET from 2005, very hard to find, and it's FACTORY SERVICED in Japan in December 2025! It has both inner and outer box, the original warranty card dated 04.2005, the instruction manual, the Seiko Service box and the Seiko service invoice with the new warranty. It's under Seiko warranty for one year, until December 2026. I've had the watch sent to service to the Seiko HQ in Germany and the HQ sent it to Japan. I was told that the full
service can be done ONLY by Seiko Japan . No Seiko AD worldwide can service this movement, they all send these watches to Japan. So, be careful with other 9T82 watches that haven't been serviced directly by Seiko Japan. DO NOT let anyone else retrofit the incorrect rechargeable battery, as I've seen this kind of jobs with MT616 or other capacitors which were not made for this movement! It took me almost 3 months to get it back! They've replaced the capacitor and overhauled the movement. The total cost was around 700 Euro, including taxes and shipping, and I have the invoice, the receipt and all the emails with the correspondence with the local AD and the Seiko Germany HQ about this timepiece. Of course, I will provide everything to the buyer. The lead watchmaker from the AD told me that the new capacitor could last up to 20 years if it's properly maintained. The watch should not be left unwound for long periods of time. Even if you are not wearing it, it must be wound. A regular winder is not enough to charge it, either you wear it almost daily, or you can buy a special charger on ebay from a reputable and very experienced seller in UK. It's an amazing piece for any collector and it's extremely hard to find another one freshly serviced by Seiko Japan and under Seiko warranty! The originial bracelet will fit up to 20cm wrist size, not including two spare full links. I am a real collector, buying from me assures you the quality and care. I don’t sell ‘as is’ watches, all my watches are serviced and ready to wear! That spares you of a big expense in the coming years. Shipping will be FREE and quick with DHL Express worldwide, FULLY INSURED, you will get it in 24-48 hours in the EU. Outside the EU, you'll get it in 3-5 days. This is an extras from an article
on calibercorner.com from a few years ago which confirms all of the above and more: 'SERVICE
AND CAPACITOR REPLACEMENT : Seiko’s service price for the caliber 9T82 starts at
$735 USD. This is a base price and does not necessarily include any other parts
or overhaul processes that need performed to get your watch up and running. The
high cost is partly due to the fact that all 9T series movements must be sent
to Japan for servicing. Furthermore, the capacitor for the caliber 9t82 is not
available for sale. Unlike most kinetic watch capacitors which can be purchased
on Amazon, the 9T82 apparently uses a special capacitor which Seiko does not
provide to parts accounts or service centers outside of Japan. It has been
rumored that since the 9T82 was released, Seiko has updated the performance of
the capacitor they use (though, this claim has not been confirmed). They won’t
even disclose the part number anymore and it is not written on the capacitor
itself . If your 9T82 needs
serviced, you may have a difficult time finding a watchmaker who will be
willing to work on it. Sure, there are watchmakers that can figure out a cell
that will get your watch running, but it’s highly recommended to have Seiko do
the job with the correct part number. You wouldn’t want anything to get fried
in your cool SLQ! Over the years,
speculation has been 500 up to possibly 2,500 pieces produced per model. By
now, most of the unserviced SLQ watches in the world do not have the capacity
to hold a charge, and few people are willing to send their timepiece in for
service at a minimum cost of $735 USD. These pieces end up being stashed in the
back of a dresser drawer when they can’t find someone to change the “battery”
for cheap. Some also end up being listed for sale, but most are in need of a
capacitor or have other issues – bear this in mind when you see a SLQ watch
posted for sale on eBay or forums, without proof of a Seiko service, they
almost always will need worked on, so mentally add at least $735 to any price
you’re about to pay to acquire one. Today, even non functioning SLQ models are fetching thousands of dollars and
the value of these pieces keeps increasing due to limited supply/desirability.' My watches are listed on multiple sales channels or I can sell any of them in private deals, they can be withdrawn anytime. General terms and conditions: *I describe my watches with honesty and the best of my knowledge, I want all my buyers to have a smooth, transparent and pleasant transaction. If you have questions or other requests, please ask me before you buy. I don’t accept returns, partial refunds or buyer's remorse, so, if you are not sure you want to buy one of my watches, please don’t do it. ** You are buying a vintage watch, you can’t expect to look as new unless is stated in the description. Pictures are part of the description, please study them carefully! Generally speaking, the watches are looking much better in real life than in the pictures because of the camera lens which pops out details that can’t be seen with the naked eye. If it’s something misrepresented by me, just send me a message, I will really appreciate your contribution. Vintage watches are not water protected, I don’t offer any guarantee about this. Vintage mechanical watches are not running like a Quartz, please do not expect to be perfect even if they are serviced and very well taken care of. The performance on the timegrapher must not be taken as a guarantee for future functionality. Although I pack my watches very carefully, issues may appear during shipping on long distances, the most common is the watch magnetisation, but, being sensitive and complex movements, in rare occasions other adjustments should be made by an experienced watchmaker. I am not responsible of ANY customs/import taxes. *** Please refrain from making ridiculous and uneducated offers. Check the market prices first. I am a deal maker, but only with serious people.
