I have a couple of Seikos where the number on the dial doesn't match the number on the case back.

Just Google the reference number and see what dial and hand combinations other pictures show for this reference.

Then make up your mind.

The price appears reasonable.

 

Looks original to me. I have a KS 5625-7113 that has a dial noted 5625-7110R. And from what I remember from my 56KS research, the 562x-711x watches pretty much all had dials noted -7110x.

 

So the dial is original? 7110 T is not swapped?
I did some more digging, heard the 7111 became7113, and7111 that were made in 1973 has the 7113 crown...
Is the price right? Or should I haggle it down to 300

 

I doubt the dial is aftermarket. Just a cursory Google Image search for 5626-7111 will reveal a couple of examples with -7110T dials, as well as examples with -7110R dials. Perhaps the -7110T dials were Seiko service dials? Because the -7110T dials appear only on -7110/7111/7113 models, and AFAIK the -7110T dial doesn't come from any other 56KS model.

It started off with the 5626-7110 with the monocoque case, which evolved to the 5626-7111 with the KS-signed screw-on caseback, which then evolved to the 5626-7113 with the plain screw-on caseback. I can't verify your claim about the -7111 and -7113 crowns, but it's not something that would surprise me, it sounds decently plausible.

350 USD doesn't sound terrible. The watch appears to be in decent condition. Does the watch look like its been rebuffed/repolished (since some of the lines don't as sharp) or is that just the pictures being blurry? It certainly looks better than many other examples on the market.

 

hello again, it may be a service dial, i have found examples denoting 7110T AD, which i reckon is a service dial, mine doesn't have AD on it...
anyways the serial says the watch was made in may of 1973 which might explain the 1973 crown. i've read an article on the different models and differences which i can't find atm. (pics incuded)
anyways the watch is not polished it seems, lines and edges are sharp with wear marks which aren't visible if you're not looking for them. i got the watch for 320 bucks... i have to say. i'm impressed with my first vintage purchase.
now i gotta buy a decent strap.

A history of the classic automatic King Seiko, with a...

My main interest is automatic King Seikos. I focus on the classically-styled models, especially those following Taro Tanaka's famous "grammar of design". This was the innovative new style adopted by Seiko in the late 1960s, around the same time that the first automatic King Seiko was produced...

7110, 7111 and 7113 all have the 7110 dial. This dial first appeared with the 5625/6-7110 case, but the 7111 and 7113 cases didn't need different dials so the same 7110 dial was used.

People often get confused and think that the number on the dial is the model number of the watch, but it's the case back number. The dial number is just a part number for the dial. It's often the same as the case number and presumably takes its number from the first case it's used in, but if the case changes and the dial doesn't, the number doesn't either.

Now, 7110R vs. 7110T... that's more of a mystery!
