Good afternoon!
Recently had the opportunity to buy 2 vintage Seiko watches. A 1969 6105-8009 and a6309-7049.
Is there anyone that you all recommend for service? I do not like my watches perfect and polished, just what's needed. So excited to own these! I have been reading up on the 6105 and evidently its not so common. It hasn't seen the light of day since 6/29/1991...29 years!
Here are a couple of photos.
Thank you in advance for recommendations!

Welcome (back)! You haven’t been around for a while...almost 51 years!
Nice Seiko!

Wow that 6105 looks like the ones I used to buy for $500-600. Too bad those days are gone.
If you get tired of them I’ll take em.

Most of those ebay sells threads have been there for a long time. That are not the actual selling prices.

So what are the comparison prices? I don't see where there are even any for sale.

Look for "sold" prices on watchrecon.

I did find one on there but as I suspected there are very few of these that are original and in good condition. Most are re-lumed, cosmetically challenged and have replaced parts. Maybe there aren't many originals that are more pristine out there since it was a "workhorse" of a watch.
Thanks for the info
