Picked this up last year in rough shape. Put a new NOS crystal on and a service later.

Dial has aged into a warm tone instead of the typical cold silver it normally is. I dig it 馃槑

Also, unexpectedly this thing is seemingly hot with radium 鈽笍

These are great watches.

@dapellegrini has an excellent thread on the topic of radioactive Seikos at wristsushi. I'm sure it will pop up if you search for radium.

Correct, that's a 6117-6019, and uses Radium. There are many others right up until the 1968 cut off... You've got the original bracelet there as well, nice setup!

Here's a thread on some of the Radium watches I have seen from Seiko:

And I love the old Seiko World timers, more on those here:

Thanks for the info! I don't wear it as much as I should. I've considered moving it multiple times but I keep pulling back cause it is super cool.
