【Collector's Set】SEIKO Dolce AGS 4M21-0A20 "Nishitetsu" Railroad Commemorative Model
This is an exceptionally rare premium "DOLCE" AGS watch issued in 1999 as a commemorative gift for Nishitetsu (Nishi-Nippon Railroad Co., Ltd.), one of Japan's major private railway companies.
It comes as a completely full set with all original accessories from the 1990s. The original blue protective sticker on the case back is still intact.
■ HIGHLIGHTS
JDM Exclusive: High-end Dolce line, originally sold only in the Japanese Domestic Market.
Nishitetsu Engraving: The case back is engraved with "1999 西日本鉄道" (1999 Nishi-Nippon Railroad). A holy grail piece for railroad and Seiko historians.
Wrist Size & Extra Links: The current wrist size is approximately 16cm (approx. 6.3 inches). It comes with 4 original extra links included in the box for resizing.
Full Set Box & Papers: Includes the original outer box, inner presentation box, Japanese instruction manual, and the original guarantee card (dated July 1997, now expired).
■ CURRENT CONDITION & MOVEMENT (Please Read Carefully)
Movement / Battery: The AGS (Auto Generating System) movement triggers and ticks smoothly at a normal 1-second interval when shaken. It has been confirmed to run continuously for over 4 hours. However, since it is a vintage item over 25 years old, the secondary battery (capacitor) has degraded due to long-term storage. It will likely require a new capacitor if you intend to use it as a daily wearer.
Top-Right Button: The push-button at the 2 o'clock position (power reserve indicator) is currently stuck and unresponsive due to aged gaskets or dirt. There is no clicking sensation. This does NOT affect the regular timekeeping, automatic generation, or time-setting functions.
Box Condition: The metal hinge on the back of the inner presentation box is loose and comes off easily. However, it can be easily reattached by hand and functions as intended once put back in place.
Cosmetic Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition. The watch has been kept in long-term storage and appears very clean. However, please note that it is a pre-owned vintage item over 25 years old, so there may be minor micro-scratches or signs of aging that are not easily visible. It is NOT a factory-fresh brand new item.
