    May 1972 Seiko 6105-8119 with Uncle Seiko Waffle Strap
    with good, honest wear + WABI
    Service history unknown-running + keeping time
    Balance complete just replaced
    Water Resist on Dial + Water Resistant on case back
    Seiko 6105B Hacking Movement works properly
    Crystal in very nice condition
    Bezel has a few scratches, but nice- do not know if original
    Original "Lock" Crown-turns and locks properly
    Steel case nice-consistent with age
    Some issues-
    Missing some lume on the hands
    Bezel rotates properly in both directions, but does not make the "click" sound
    Other than that the watch presents itself very well on the wrist
    Chunky Steel Case in nice condition- measures 45 mm x 45 mm
    Overall an iconic Seiko diver in original condition
    These are getting tough to find and very pricey
    $799.99 plus delivery + optional insurance
    Firm at this price
    Please buy this before I change my mind
    No returns

    The crown turns and locks properly
    I had my watch man look over the movement-
    he installed a new balance complete
    Said the amplitude is a bit low
    Runs well and keeps good time

    In response to a query
    The movement is Seiko 6105B and it hacks properly
    Crown screws in and locks properly
    Bezel rotates properly bi directionally but does not make the "click" sound
    Some interest, but still available
