Love the patina!

From a collector of vintage Seiko divers, that is a beauty.
Most vintage Seikos don't age in this way. Either they stay close to the original color, or they miscolor and 'rot'.
My single-owner 6105-8000 is stark white, but I prefer the look of yours. Congratulations.

Hi folks, it´s nice to have a forum just for Seiko. Some months ago I stumbled over some pics of old Seiko diving watches and immediatley fell in love. Shortly after I had the chance to buy this Diver 150, ref. 6105-8000 from 1968. What do yu guys think a...

Great looking 6105s guys!

Honestly if I had to go back to just one watch I would most probably keep the 6105. Its really an underappreciated piece and has the perfect lines, coin edge bezel and excellent surround markers. Its quite a watch. Seems all the good ones are here ;) ...

Brave warrior. Sorry about the chilly water I had 27 degree like a bath tub. Not the same at home more like 17. Thanks for sharing. Bill
I love it

Next time 20 meters We managed 25 meters but we had very warm water in the Dominican Republic. Bill
Looking great

Tropic strap is always a good choice but remain a NATO fan. I got the original Seiko rubber strap but just for originality. Did you dive with the watch. Bill
The Seiko 6105 still a powerhouse.

I will need to hunt an older one. I have a couple but from the early 1970. On a recent dive trip the 6105 went down to 33 meters. Bill
I LOVE IT

Actually, I have recently sold back the 6105-8000 shown above to the original owner. Now so only have a 6105-8110 Willard in my little stock. I ...
Upon looking at the back
By: cazalea : August 29th, 2017-13:35
I must comment that 90% of the Seikos I have seen have at least one "open it with needlenose pliers" scratch on the back
