The yellow dialed version is an early one from July 1969 and the silver dial, made I believe for the Australian market only, is from April 1973. ...

It’s a nice pair!

but only in their domestic market. Mine says hello! ...

Both of those are nice and look great on the wrist. I’m drawn to the silver dial.

Thanks Larry. The silver is quite special, and likely more unique than the yellow version!

Thanks Ron! I am definitely on a vintage Seiko kit. I'm sure there will come a day when I will ask myself why I bought so many! But for now, let the obsession continue!

A nice duo, Rob, I'm partial to the fine-looking silver dialed version !
