路It seems like a pretty confusing area. Do we have any learned experts willing to offer some advice?
TIA,

It would be easier with a more direct watch question. The term "how long is a rope" comes to mind (is that saying working in English?). I know a little and that might be expert level to somebody else but without knowing more I could as easily be a novice.

I know the vintage dive watch market for Seiko is flooded with frankens and watches made from NOS parts.
They are great little beater watches, yours is quartz. Looks to have the original crystal(Hardex), and hands. The Seiko band is readily available on the web for $15 or so.....I'd switch over to a better quality Bonetto Cintirini, much more comfortable(not a hard rubber compound).
You can upgrade to a sapphire crystal, bezel ring, ect. if needed, parts are easy to get. I had my hands relumed with C3, upgraded crystal, full service...just to get her up to date.

So I picked up what the seller touted as, and appears to be, an all original early 6039-7049. He claimed that the band is original as well, but my preliminary research leaves me with some doubts. I cannot seem to locate the part number on it. Otherwise, I am thrilled. It's in great shape and spinning like a top. On to the pics!
I humbly withdraw from the conversation, and yield to the experts 馃榾 More coffee is needed
Come to think of it, I may be the worst mannered person that hasn't been banned. 馃槣
Don't worry about being wrong here. I've made a few miscalculations that were corrected recently - nobody gets too snippy or acts like a douche here.
