The Seiko 6106-5470 dates to March 1972. It has a very unusual design that it not to everyone’s taste. These are quite a rare watch that can command a higher price than some of my other Seiko’s. I bought this reasonable condition but it needed a lot of work to remove the scratches from the case. The 6106 movement was good as was the crystal. However the dial was poor which is a shame as replacement dials are near impossible to find.
Case was a labour of love to get restored and I am still not completely satisfied with it. High polished sides and ground sloped faces. It was the slopes that took a long time to get right. A nice addition to the collection but ultimately I would like a better condition one in the collection. Before and after shots in the slideshow.
