Many thus fall by the wayside at battery change time, which is a shame. Again, local shops are unlikely to have stocks. The battery is standard, cheap, and widely available but it needs a special Seiko insulator.

Setting the perpetual calendar is tricky if you don't have the manual (it's online, but your local battery-changing shop is highly unlikely to know). The circuit boards are said to be fragile and unserviceable.

Applied indices on a deeply coloured shimmering dialĭespite these excellent attributes, these are old watches and this style is not particularly popular. 24 hour hand with independently adjustable 12-hour hand 24 hour bezel with markings in raised relief

Actually, 'median price' strictly should be 'modal price', I think. Does it have all its original bracelet links? This is important because many 8F56/8F32 watches from this era have had bracelet links removed and mislaid, and this can be a real handicap as the lugs are often non-standard, the clasps are often non-standard, and getting new bracelets or links is usually impossible. The battery replacement receipt from Seiko would add some value too. Having ancillary items with it will also increase the value (slightly): Original box, papers, original purchase receipt, hang tags, etc. Some (only a few) go for £400-£500 or more if very desirable models. A median price might be around £120-£130. If you have the original hang tags then the model number might be helpful too (the model number is not usually shown anywhere else), although Seiko model numbers are often less well known than movement-case references.ĨF56s tend to start at £70 or so and go up from there, depending on model. The full movement-case reference ('8F56-xxxx') would be helpful too, although not all are well known.

There are very many 8F56 models so it's difficult to know which one you're referring to.
