Another vintage Seiko

I'm always on the hunt for another vintage Seiko to add to the collection. The Sport Divers are a great series, some harder to find than others. I had a 6106-7107 that was in fair/poor shape with the original bracelet but I messed up the movement when I removed it in order to replace the crystal. I eventually decided to find another 6106 movement and swap it out...but found that I lost the original hands! So it sat in my drawer going nowhere. I really liked it a lot, cool orange dial, inner rotating bezel, very cool. So I kept looking...and found another on Ebay! I watched it for a few days, then in one of those "bid in the last 30 second" moves won it at a great price.

It's in great shape for a 40 year old watch, case in very good shape, dial absolutely immaculate and untouched, all original condition. Came on a very cheap rubber strap...but I still had the original bracelet (needs a little work though) from the other one I messed up. So here's a couple quick shots:

Seiko 6106-7107 Sport Diver

Awesome pics dude!

Very nice man....I've got to get a nice vintage soon!!

Very nice! I like it.

Very cool Seiko!!

cool

Oh man Chris, THIS is REALLY something else !!!!
It looks like it could have just arrived from the Seiko factory.
The dial is remarkeable, especially when you look at those super
cool markers ! Some NICE hands on this one also, and the case
shape is PHENOMENAL !!! ..Your bracelet brings it ALL together
imho too. I think what's VERY unique about Seiko, and their
watches, is that no matter when your watch is from, they
ALWAYS seem to look GREAT !..They actually ARE timeless !

Cool Seiko. Is the second hand red?

Yes, Chris, its a sort of reddish-orange. I've seen some that have faded to an almost yellow, but this one is pristine.
