    Vintage diver wanted ........... NOW! ...Pics wanted

    Pics of your vintage favorites would be appreciated. I have about an $800 budget. Have recently fell in love with the color orange as well. Any combination of vintage and orange will probably do. However I am not prejudice against any other colors! I like blue as well. In the event I cant find a nice vintage I may go with a Doxa.


    Steer me in the right direction please.

    A vintage Doxa sold for US$950 on the Bay the other day. Black dial though.

    I'd be looking at 6105s in your prie range. You'll get a good one. Not much orange on them, though.

    Get a slightly less good 6105, and a redialled (orange) 6309 or 7002!

    A 6105-8110/9 in this condition(1973) is an excellent vintage diver with lots of History



    Another option would be a 6309 7049/0 or 6306 7000/1

    Yeah. I concur with Spring Diver and Recliner. You are right in the sweet spot for a vintage seiko. No orange, but you will get a vintage pillow case.

    A few horses from the 6105/6306/6309 stable

    happy hunting

    Here is how i did it:



    Take an molested 6105 from 1970 and restore/modified it to your liking.



    The value is gone, but it is as you wish.

    Other vintage with orange dials:
