My 6159-7000 from March of ‘78 is back from receiving a service and a new crystal. I feel incredibly lucky to finally own one of these.

 

What model number is this dear?

 

Good Evening

The latest acquisition for me, and my first Seiko; the Seiko Prospex Transocean Chronograph 200m SBEC003. A rare piece because of its finish and its caliber.

Have a nice week

With kind regards

Georges

 

Hi Pun,
Its the Seiko SPB153J1 in Olive Green with Rubber strap & Also available is the SPB151J1 in Black with bracelet . Well worth a look at both models

 

Congratulations.
Beautiful example.
Can I ask what these are like to wear?
Can you compare it to any other Seiko divers?

 

Thank you! It wears extremely well... much smaller than a Marinemaster 300. If you can pull off a 6309 or 6105-811X, you will love it on the wrist.

Here are some comparison pics of the 6159 vs. my H558-500a Arnie, 6309-7001, 6105-8119 and 7548-7000.

 

Oh, wow! Nice collection.

Thanks for the comparison pictures.

Gives me a bit to think about as a 6159 is on the wish list

 

Dontcha get bored with those big, clunky Seiko dive watches?

They make (or made, since these are 50 year old hand-winders) some pretty cool dress watches too!

 

Fantastic tandem! I may have one or two dress Seikos lying around
