WHAT SEALED THE DEAL: On Chad's vintage Seiko 6105

It's a tale as old as time: Chad meets watches, Chad meets Seiko, Chad meets Instagram, and the rest is, as we say, history I first learned about the Seiko 6105 shortly after becoming interested in watch collecting about 12 years ago I quickly became curious about other Seiko models and learned that Seiko had a rich history of dive watches.

Online forums, like Watchuseek, had many threads that traced the lineage of Seiko dive watches from the legendary 62MAS, released in 1965, up to modern day Vintage watch collecting always seemed a bit dangerous It's not uncommon for vintage Seiko watches to have replacement/reproduction parts that aren't disclosed.

My searches always seemed to yield watches that would be significant restoration projects or desirable watches well out of my price range, or worse, those that had been bought out from under me. . Source
