    That is a lovely 6105. Exactly what everyone wants.....
    The dial and hands are beautiful. They don't often turn up as nice as that!

    Cheers Jim. Needs a bl++dy good service though. Been watching the Spencer Klein videos and I'm pretty sure it's needing a Jewel installing in the lower mainspring arbor port and also the canon pinion needs tightening. Who do we know in the UK that can do just a good a job as Spencer with these?

    If that was my watch I would send it to Duncan (TheWatchBloke) www.thewatchbloke.co.uk
    Duncan is the best man to service great Seiko's. He has serviced dozens of mine, including 6215-7000, 6217-8001, 6159-7001, 6105-8110 Proof/Proof, 6306-7001 Scubapro 450....... etc..

    Yes, I've followed his blogs from time to time and seen lots of recommendations before. I think that it would make the watch feel more 'complete' and get it worn more often too. You've an envious collection there btw.

    I bought this last week, it's still in the mail coming from overseas. I am unable to track it anymore, it always seems overseas tracking has a point where tracking is just a nice thought. I was after this diver for the longest time, it's not as great as I would like, but I think I can get it looking great again. It has the 4s15 hi-beat movement, I can't wait for it to show up.

    Funny seeing mention of thewatchbloke in earlier posts, as my watch arrived back from him just today.
    Had a Sapphire crystal fitted, and a very light polish where required. Did a superb job for me.

    To be fair, most Seiko watches come with incredible lume.
    It really is difficult to find much better.

    Very true. My SKXs is great. I have my own SARG009 inbound and I'm pretty excited about it!

    I may be stuck inside on a dull wet Scottish afternoon, but a Seiko and it’s lume never lets you down.

    Nice strap. Where did you get it? I want a similar (black) one for my Seiko 5 Sports:

    Not mine, but a non runner sent to me and now serviced with a new crystal. Dial had some wear but I thought this was a lovely watch. Healthily ticking away now and a lovely manual wind 66 movement.

    ^^^ Cor, that's nice. What a lovely blue dial!

    Do you have the full movement-case ref? I might try finding one.

    66-5019, Mark. However...one on eBay for far too much and I've actually been looking for one aswell! :)

    Found one that was listed only a little while ago and it sold for...


    ...

    25 dollars.

    The 66 movement was really nice to work on. Getting a decent 270 amplitude and very little positional variation. Nice watch! :)

    Ouch! Yes, that one is rather steep.

    Thank you for the ref.

    Always the way, it seems. The one I just missed went for a song whereas all the rest are magebucks. ;-)

    The MM300 still takes some beating for me.

    The 7002 has a fake dial and aftermarket insert mind you.
    Otherwise very nice set!

    7002 here.

    Blast, still one more to chase! I thought there was something a bit weird with the lume colour, didn't know about the insert to be honest.

    :) they are quite tricky to find in original condition. I'd say 90% of the ones on eBay are fake... Or horrible redials.

    Anyway wasn't sure whether to comment but goes to show you were unaware.

    You've made me miss my 8f35 perpetual though....

  34. #3634
    SBDJ013 added to the collection this week. On a Hirsch Pure as I’m not really in to Seiko bracelets, but looking for an MM300 rubber. Nice size and the weight of a feather.

    Looks perfect on your wrist. This watch definitely needs a larger wrist to shine.

    *If you include a cheeky Pulsar in the broader definition of Seiko.

    Is that a sbdx017 Andrew? How did the diashield react to polishing I wonder?
