The 6159 on ebay right now is up to 6200.00 with 8 days left... It's supposed to be NIB. Looks like it. The reissue price might be better...

If legit, that thing should go for a lot more than the current bids. Also, would these have been sold on a tropic strap?
I wondered that myself. I didn't think so but what do I know... never seen one in person or known anyone that owned one...

I saw someone on another forum say an AD in Australia quoted them $5500 AU. So somewhere around $4300 USD if his numbers are correct.

I wondered that myself. Mine came on the original tire tread strap, but a Google search did turn up some that came on a tropic.

Makes me want a $3500 SLA017 :)

I'm almost glad it's $5400. Because at that price I'm out. No need trying to figure out how to make it happen. I do think it's going to be an epic piece of badassery, though.

My $1,650.00 USD Marine Master does a decent job of scratching the 6159 itch. Plus, everything lines up, which is rare for a modern Seiko.

Ain’t that the truth! Hope I get to see one at some point, though.

Yeah, I need the reissue, and the original. But the original is so rare, only one out there is a relumed dial one on eBay. Prices for the original are destined to rise.

(cough) Explorer I Mk2 :shifty:

In all seriousness, it’s shaping up to be a seriously great reissued 6159, but playing in a field with stiff competition. My large dive watch budget got spent already, with no regrets.

It looks great. Money no object it would be mine but finding a SBDX012 again would be my choice at half the price.

Did you guys see the two NOS 6159s that just popped on the Bay? Prices at best offer 11K and 20K. Both auctions include the OG accessories. You think it's legit? I was wondering if there are replica 6159s out there? The seller has 100 percent feedback, but only 232. You think it's a safe buy?
