An oldie; 6105 “Proof Proof”
This is not the famous 6105, it’s the one just before.
But this one is more wearable than the Willard, and so forgoing the movie star watch in lieu of this one was an easy choice at the time.
I went though a phase of three to four years where I bought at least one, sometimes more, vintage Seiko watches when in Japan. The end result was about a dozen, mostly not divers though. This is one of only two divers out of that bunch.
