Age a vintage watch and near mint if not mint condition. Collectible. And valuable to the buyer for sure.

I was answering Erics question "Dumb question......WTH do people see in this Seiko???? Seriously, can anyone tell me why its more than a $150 watch? I dont get it."...I was referring to the why it has become more than a $150. watch in recent years,not why someone paid 3 grand for the watch in the auction...

Is this an actual authentic 6105? I don't remember the second hand being two lume dots like this one?

Etic, it's truly a beautiful specimen and a marvel to stare at and for sentimental reasons, might explain why its that high a price. But am not sure about that waffle keeping after all these years (if truly an original and 35 years old).

You have to be a Seiko fan to understand this watch's value but even the Seiko fan that I am, I would NOT shell out more than 10 benjamins for this one.

Again, it's a beauty.
