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:

Oh man Chris, THIS is REALLY something else !!!! Another vintage Seiko 46145 Another vintage Seiko Icon_biggrin Another vintage Seiko 803574
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 ! Another vintage Seiko Icon_smile

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