For the vintage dive watch lovers.....
Released in 1968 the 6105 has the now signature crown placement at 4 o'clock. Aside from the interesting case, something many Seiko have, I also really appreciate how clean these dials are, the large and clear hour markers and the funky seconds hand.
While it's successor and big brother, the 6105-8110, seems to be the more popular watch among collectors and enthusiasts this guy is much more wearable for the average wrist. And I think the 6105 is the less commonly seen of the two.

one look at you and I know it's gonna be hot, wherever it is.

Thanks, yes the dial on this one is pretty clean for a 50 year old watch. There are some marks (discoloration) on the indices but funnily this picture doesn't pick those up. You can see the hands have aged a little more.
It's similar on Bill's "PROOF" dial below, the hands show more discoloration.
My 6105
This is my 6105 from eBay, the dial is not too good. Still thinking relume it or not. ...

Here are the two variations know as proof proof and resist resist. These are the combination of what is on the dial and case back. These terms preceded the water resistant i thing something iso or claims using proof. Proof was also used on the original se...
Which crown?
I have a March '69 6105-8009 Resit Resist The crown has Lock-> on it not seiko is it correct or should it say seiko on it?
The crown does not lock on the 6105-8000.
The crown therefore should be signed Seiko. This was I understand very unusual for the time, to have the crown signed.
