It's about time I got another wristshot of my Grand Seiko 61GS (6146-8000).

I have a few vintage Seikos with sentimental personal attachments but this June 1970 6138-0019 that was a purchase on OFAS a couple of years ago (no sentimentality at all) remains my all time fav vintage Seiko.

Very nice, super clean example! I've had my eye out for an '81 model, (birth year), that isn't overlay "patina'd" - inspiring to see that they do/ can exist in the wild!

Thanks! With a bit of hunting, they are definitely out there. I actually found this one on the r/watchexchange section of reddit. Worst case, the guys at DC Vintage can source you one.

My Nov 1979 6309-7049 has been with me since 1980, I way overspent on it back then and have owned several 6309s over the years, but because I overspent I kept this one

and I am very happy about that. Still some nice examples around, a worthy target, Here are the two best "buyer's guides" GLWTP

Latest 6139-7100 arrived safely yesterday. Sadly the case had been polished etc. but luckily I have spares in stock so swapped it over and fitted an old retro style bracelet for something a bit different.
