Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste

[WRXtranceformed]

So the 6105 arrived and it was better than expected!! I am smitten. And I flipped that Sportura for more than I bought it for, so the cycle continues

The details:

- Original July 1969 6105-8000 on tropic strap (after some light research I believe this to possibly be NOS '60s vintage)
- Restored by Jack at IWW:
NOS bezel
NOS bezel insert
Crystal replaced
Original hands cleaned up and relumed
Original dial cleaned up and relumed
Case lightly refinished

When I was evaluating my options, I wasn't sure about the relume but knowing it was Jack doing it and seeing it in person made me appreciate how livable it will make this piece. You rarely see vintage pieces torch up like that and it is stunning! Plus I've got my all original 6309 turtle in at IWW right now and I'll be leaving the old crusty lume, so I'll always have some patina to stare at when I need it

On to the pics!





It holds up very well to the scrutiny of a harsh light:










So far it's running sub 10sec/day on the wrist which is fantastic. The case is thinner than expected and wears very comfortably on the wrist. I feel really fortunate to be able to be a steward of this piece for hopefully a good long while!

I don't plan on any mods or changes on this one, with the possible exception of an Uncle Seiko tropic strap so that I can keep this one in good shape in case it is indeed vintage.
