Affordable Vintage: Seiko 6105
Today, we’re excited to bring you the first of hopefully a long series on interesting and largely affordable vintage dive watches by w&w friend, @vintagediver (head over to IG and give him a follow for great pics daily). Enjoy!Seiko has a rich history in the world of dive watches, and it’s safe to say that none is as iconic as the venerable Seiko 6105-8110/9 (aka 6105-811X). It is the definitive Seiko diver, and it holds it’s own against the other iconic divers of the 1970’s.

Yacht-Master Platinum bezel question
Hello everyone at TRF! Purely a hypothetical question here. But I'm wondering if anyone knows what RSC would charge if the platinum bezel on a Yacht-Master needs replaced? Just curious.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
