I don't own one myself, no Seiko at all to be honest, but have to admit they are growing on me lately... Might not take long before my first Seiko is incoming! Nice find, I would go for it mate!

I could be wrong but I'm thinking vintage and limited Seikos is the new thing to collect while prices are still quite moderate. Seiko is trying to go up market with their GS line and flagship stores. That could sky rocket the vintage market.

Yes I agree , Seiko make some cool watches and some of the older style are very nice, I don't think of Seiko as "vintage" probably because I remember them back in the early 70's but then you think er hang on that's 40+ years ago ,, now I feel old :giggle:

The cushion case Seiko`s are very nice.

 

 

I think finding a genuine 6306 will be very difficult.There are alot of the 63 series kicking about but most have been restored in some way or another.

 

 

6309 that I done and is now with Elp

That`s the 6309 and looks like it is an aftermarket dial and hands.

 

 

the 6306 commands a bit more money,

Damn that's a lot for not even the rare scuba pro dial. Nice though

 

Costs more than my 62MAS

I have a 6309 7040 that is slightly modded and gets a lot of wear. All the cushion case Seikos are nice, but it will be tough to find a 6306. They are much rarer.

I think I've come to the conclusion that while I love the Scubapro dial, I like the 6105 case better.

I am a huge vintage Seiko fan. The 6105's and 6309-704x's are good collectors pieces if you can find one with original dial. Nice examples are getting harder to find and I have seen prices increase quite a bit over the last 2 years.
