Truth be told, the original is as well built as any modern watch, the crystal actually uses a real rubber gasket and all the gaskets for the 6105s are available today so there is no reason why you should be afraid to take it in the water!
a few bucks in gaskets, a few days wait from china and you are as water tight as when it was new!
of course thats assuming the case isn't pitted in the ring groove for the caseback gasket but 6105s usually don't pit too badly, and pitting can be repaired with epoxy and then tooled down with a dremel to provide a smooth surface for gaskets again...
wow OT and Eddie's new homage does look sharp!
...in the meantime Jake sent me a pic of my completed Dagaz Typhoon LE...I went with the Sat dial,countdown/GMT bezel, and MIL ladder hands,all C-3 lumed...should have it by end of the week!
That's a cool variation on your recently completed Typhoon Oscar!
(I should have guessed you had a vintage 6105 under the bed!
)Gives it a completely different look with the choice of dial, bezel, and hands for sure. Looks great!
