Is this an actual authentic 6105? I don't remember the second hand being two lume dots like this one? |

Etic, it's truly a beautiful specimen and a marvel to stare at and for sentimental reasons, might explain why its that high a price. But am not sure about that waffle keeping after all these years (if truly an original and 35 years old). You have to be a Seiko fan to understand this watch's value but even the Seiko fan that I am, I would NOT shell out more than 10 benjamins for this one. Again, it's a beauty. |
