Vintage
Adriano shares his multi-year journey to complete two vintage Seiko 6105 diver watches, the 6105-8000 and 6105-8110. His detailed account of sourcing original and aftermarket parts, including correct movements and adapted bezel inserts, offers valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of vintage watch restoration.
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual reference 6105 represents the brand's Bubble Back series from the 1940s. This 32mm timepiece demonstrates Rolex's automatic watchmaking during the decade, featuring the caliber A.10 movement with 42-hour power reserve.
The stainless steel case measures 32mm in diameter and houses an automatic caliber A.10 movement. The watch displays a silver dial beneath an acrylic crystal, framed by a smooth bezel. Water resistance extends to 50 meters, and the timepiece is fitted with a leather strap.
This reference appeals to collectors interested in mid-20th century Rolex automatic watches and those focusing on the Bubble Back series specifically. The 32mm case size and silver dial configuration place this reference within the smaller format offerings of the Oyster Perpetual range from this production period.
No safe queen ready for full ocean action down 35 meter and ready for more. Bill Seiko Diver with friends sharks beware
Is a watch that I'm chasing since mine was "removed" in 2010. Perfect in all counts (comfort, movement etc.). Meanwhile, my Athaya Vintage (A reedition/homage) is my walk around watch: Cheers, Nilo
