·I hope you can help me with this 6117-6410 that I recently picked up on eBay. It would be better if I asked for opinions before the purchase, but it's too late for that. I believe that at least the dial is not original, but I don't know much about Seikos in general. I may have to return this based on your feedback.
I found a thread on OF, and a couple others online that show how to check for originality of various Seiko models, but I still have the following questions:
1. Would you agree that this is an after-market bezel ring based on the imperfections, mainly the borders around the blue and red rectangles?
2. Isn't the case supposed to be fully polished on all 6117-6410s? This one is mostly brushed.
3. What does it mean when the "water 70m proof" is missing on the dial? I found a couple other examples of this online, but couldn't find if this is an issue or not.
Thanks for your help.
