Looks nice but I bet it's going to be pricey.

Sure it will be in the same range as the SLA017 and SLA025. Guess I'll have to grab one, it's a bad trend of me buying both the reissue and the vintage models.

Seems everything that's old is new again, but at rediculously new prices.

I'd be a buyer at that price. Try double, give or take.

Maybe they’ll make a more affordable 6R version like the other new models more in line with the cost most of us would prefer to pay for a Seiko.

Yes. They will decrease the price by 70%, while making it 20% less good looking and 30% larger. :puke:

You’re likely 100% correct.

This is correct. It will be too thick, too big, and have a Prospex logo on the dial.

I guess it’s still better than nothing if these are actually going priced as mentioned.

If this was true to form there will probably be a “modernized” bigger cased version as with the other reissue les.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

It’ll be cool but undoubtedly have a goofy lug width like 19mm.

I heard rumors of > 4000 GBP. Hopefully less, but it won't be cheap.

Looks nice, but too expensive (not for what it is but what I'm personally willing to pay :) )

...and they'll have a more affordably-priced "reissue" with a 6R15 that's twice the size, a la the SBDC051.

Seiko. They always almost get it right, or put a different way, always manage to balls it up somehow.

Anyone know what the MSRP of a 6105 was back in the day? I wonder what it would be today, adjusted for inflation.

A quick search showed $175 in 1969 if that was accurate. The calculator I found said that would be just over $1200 today.
