My Seiko 6105 I think this is the best one in the collection
This is my first Seiko I ever bought a 7548 Quartz model back in the 1980's bought it at the ship's store when in the NAVY I used it my whole 22 years in the Navy even found a photo with me using it in the Navy.
My Seiko 6308

I've heard your story before but never had seen a pic of you wearing it. Kickass, man!

if you're going to war with a dive watch, you just can't get much tougher than the 7548 (unless it's an orange
BASM 
)
nice trio

Awesome pictures.
The Seiko quartz is one heavy duty piece. But my 6105 is my favorite Seiko.

Bad ass, Sailor!

Great pics! Do you still have that 7548 or is it a goner?
