Vintage Seiko 6217 & 6105 SIC pics & reviews
Hi all Seiko kakis... Please post some pics and reviews of the this two highly sought after pieces and comments... Sic ESP 6217 ... Haha.. Get the ball rolling!!!
Re: Vintage Seiko 6217 & 6105 SIC pics & reviews
As promised to devil00 bro,now SIC-ing my 2nd(and only) wabified cheesy dirty 6217 62mas (sold first one off cheaply).



From the pics,you guys can see this one looks "been there done that" and according to the previous owner,he is the sole owner and bought it decades ago ,used it then left it in some socks/clothes cabinet only to rediscover it yrs back. But that's his side of his story. All I wanted was a nice original unrestored specimen to replace my 1st 62mas(retouched). *62mas collecting is jin ja addictive....



So quite happy that I won some bidders in eprey years back and only expect a working 62mas. Note by this time there is the increasing 62mas bidding war/original parts WTBs/inflated 62mas market value etc,so was quite lucky to get it(cant even get to sleep after the auction ended cos too happy)



And when it reached me,I was very satisfied with the true unmolested/unrestored condition especially the unpolished caseback.You can clearly see the 'pimple original finishing' on the caseback. That's seldom seen in most 62mas.



So for now i am keeping it as it is ,in this condition.























and lazy quick shots of my current watches(still got parts, NOS citizen hyper aqualand etc);

I own this to CEO, the final piece to the puzzle. 62MAS.







Signed crown







Very beautiful caseback



My 6105 sourced together with CEO too.





6105-8110





6105-8000





Before 62MAS.



Actually I'm missing an original 7002 from the entire collection, the 7002 which is modded should not be considered :lol:

The bezel seems ok le.



Here's mine, but don't have a clear shot of the bezel.











This shot is too artist for comparison :lol:



Usually I look at the fonts especially numbers like "1, 2 and 3". You can tell the fonts is different for 62MAS and the 6309 in the 2nd pic.

As I have said, I don't know the service history of this watch. What I know is that the movement is very clean, watch is accurate, power reserve is great and all parts are original. Watch is in very good condition for its age and I have no intention to sell. So don't worry about whether it has been re-lumed lor. As for your comment on uneven spread, I would say that I will be very worried if I get one with even spread --- this means aftermarket dial. :lol:

I also have a 6105 which has an aftermarket bezel insert and NOS hands. It was serviced by Ah Goh. I would say Ah Goh did a great job, as the watch seems to keep on running. I will post pics when I get back home. I am now looking for Orient King Diver 1000m. If anybody wants to sell, PM me lor. Sorry for OT. :lol:

Re: Vintage Seiko 6217 & 6105 SIC pics & reviews
Sometime.... the choice had to be make to keep the dial especially the "framed" hr markers from further corrosion if there is moist in the lume..... so a relume is acceptable to me..... ;)
