FOR SALE IS AN ULTRA FUNKY 1971 SEIKO 6106-7509 DX WITH HEAVENLY LINEN DIAL AND SEXY ORIGINAL MILANESE BRACELET
- CASE: MEGA COOL AND BLOCKY SOLID STEEL CASE MEASURING IN AT 41mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL RECESSED CROWN. CHECK OUT THE FACTORY FRESH BRUSHED TOP LOOKING MIGHTY FINE AND WITH A FEW MINOR SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS BUT TOTALLY UNPOLISHED. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CASES WHERE A SQUARE IS MORE THAN A SQUARE. SEIKO MANAGED TO INCORPORATE A TON OF DESIGN INTO THIS BOXY GUY.
- DIAL: WHO THE HELL DOESN'T LOVE A LINEN DIAL. THIS IS A PARTICULARLY TASTY ONE WITH THAT SILVER METALLIC FINISH. ONCE YOU TAKE IN THAT GORGEOUS TEXTURED DIAL, THE EYE NATURALLY GRAVITATES TOWARDS THOSE GARGANTUAN ORANGE/BLACK TOWERING MARKERS. IT'S HARD TO APPRECIATE IN THESE PICS, BUT THE BACKSIDES OF THE MARKERS ARE LUMED, SO THEY REFLECT INTO THAT SILVER RETAINING RING CREATING THIS ETHEREAL EFFECT WHEN YOU GET THE LUME SPARKED UP. YOU GOTTA DIG THOSE SUPER CLEAN SANDWICH STYLE STEEL/BLACK HANDS WITH NICELY INTACT LUMED TIPS. THIS ONE PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH ALL LIGHTING CONDITIONS CAUSING A DAZZLING 3-D EFFECT. CRYSTAL DOES HAVE SOME MINOR SCRATCHES BUT IS TOTALLY CLEAR AND DOES NOT DETRACT FROM THAT BEAUTIFUL FACE
- MOVEMENT: THIS GENT RUNS ON A CLEAN 17 JEWEL SEIKO CAL. 6106. WATCH IS RUNNING NICELY WITH A GOOD POWER RESERVE AND NICE TIMEKEEPING. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH HAS BEEN BEHAVING NICELY OVER WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION. DAY/DATE IS QUICKSET BY PUSHING THE CROWN INWARD. MOVEMENT IS HACKING AS WELL.
- IF THIS KILLER CUBE WASN'T COOL ENOUGH.....IT COMES ON ITS ORIGINAL JAPANESE MADE AND SEIKO SIGNED MILANESE BRACELET WHICH CAN ACCOMMODATE ANY WRIST SIZE. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PIECE. IT'S SUCH A CLEAN EXAMPLE OF SEIKOS 70's DESIGN LANGUAGE. THIS IS NOT A MODEL YOU SEE VERY OFTEN AND IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING IN PERSON.
