It arrived today and looks better than I thought. The dial, hands, and case are in great shape. I've already sent it to IWW.

"That's a good looking example. Dial/hands are AOK.
If it were my watch I'd install a reproduction insert. They look terrific and the watch will really pop. You can always keep the original stored away if you ever decide to sell the watch."
That is one fine ass watch. A bit of a grail for me. Stellar. Can't wait to see the results. A new bezel insert and new crystal will make that thing look supa fine.

Funny the word grail popped up. I thought about this watch as my own grail for the various threads in DWC on the topic.
That one looks in fantastic shape for its age! Holy shit did you hit the jack pot on that one. Please post some shots when Jack is done with it.

Re: My first vintage. Seiko 6217 "62mas"
yeah, and ensure Jack sends you the original parts back, including the crystal, insert, etc. just in case... I am sure they will make a difference if you want to sell it at one point.BSears wrote:T.R. wrote:Boom.pbj204 wrote:Jack emailed this back

Loving the knowledge bombs getting thrown in this thread. Looks like that vintage Seiko will be getting the treatment it deserves.

I always wise these were at least 39mm in size, I just can't do 37mm.
Either good luck on it and Jack will do you right on it.

Great choice of watch and Jack will hold your hand all the way, just thought I'd post a pic for you to look at while she's away

Wow, Rod. Is that NOS or refurb'd? Damn that looks stunning.

Beautiful work done by Duncan (Cannop) & James (Hyman) on my 6105. Can't wait to get it back! I highly recommend them. You decide what you want done. I had a full service on the movement, waterproofed to original specs and vintage relumed as to inject new life to It. Here's to another 40 years
UPDATE
It's finally here!

Did you ever get your watch back from IWW. How long did it take, photos. Can you pm me and give me an idea of cost as I had a little luck tonight.

Very nice! I have long been tempted by this early model, but have yet to pull the trigger.

Still waiting. I think it takes about 6 months. Not sure of the cost. I never even ask. His prices are very fair. The bills from other watches have always been better than expected.JimboUK wrote:Did you ever get your watch back from IWW. How long did it take, photos.

I can't wait to get it back though.

His builds are actually worth it and he doesn't act like a lunatic when you ask him questions. Where some of the other Seiko guys go full bore ape-shit if you saying anything at all.pbj204 wrote:Still waiting. I think it takes about 6 months. Not sure of the cost. I never even ask.

Re: My first vintage. Seiko 6217 "62mas"
This should be shipping back to me today. Hopefully here by Wed or Thurs. About 11 months at IWW. Can't wait to see how it looks. I decided to keep the original bezel insert installed.
Re: My first vintage. Seiko 6217 "62mas"
Now I just need a strap. Jack did replace the insert, and it looks great.

Re: My first vintage. Seiko 6217 "62mas"
Ordered a couple of 19mm nato straps. Black and grey stripe and plain black. Hope to be wearing it next week.
I love the original lume on it. A couple of dark spots, but mostly it has aged very well.
