Been a while, but I scored a 6159-7000.

Post by DiverChris » Sat Oct 12, 2024 5:37 pm

Stumbled on this serviced 6159-7000 on the bay. I've always wanted one, but they've been so damn pricey. LSS, this one came in at about $2500 when the dust settled. Not perfect, but a nice piece. Plus, I was born in '68.

Just got an US chocolate bar strap but here it is on the waffle it came on, and alongside my blue-ish reissue.

Awesome congrats! Seiko's best ever IMO. And $2500 these days is an absolute steal.
