A couple of vintage Seikos.

[Razz]

First is the Pogue I posted in the watch of today and the second is a Willard. The Pogue had bent/stuck pushers and a broken pivot on the minute recording wheel. I also had to reinstall the intermediate recording wheel bushing into the chrono plate, lucky I noticed it on the bench and tucked it away until I figured out where it was supposed to reside. Also had to source a crown and indicator ring spring.

The Willard is a 6105-8119 from 1973. Was very dirty ( caked in grime) and not running. Cleaned the case and got it running. I am going to get a new crystal, but it is otherwise all original and not touched. The screws are perfect and no watchmakers marks.

Beautiful 6105 there - that dial!

The Seiko badge and hands have corrosion, but otherwise the dial is pretty spectacular!

3.6 imprinted on the reverse means this is an original dial. 3D on the caseback

Yeah no doubt that's real - I discovered this weekend that they don't all have the datestamp funnily enough. 

 

Hand wise OG minute and hour hands are quite an easy find in my experience, seconds less so.
