Seiko 5

[Daveb]

Bought this one at a car boot sale, Seiko 5 Dx 6106-5430, 1970 or 1980 not too sure of the date.

  I'm easing myself gently into the collecting side of things, I love watches but rarely wear one. I would like to get a chronograph, a moon phase, a quality diver and a dress watch eventually. 

  Maybe if I buy a hundred of these l could sell them and buy a speedmaster and the wife won't notice the bank balance going down.

That looks like a very nice example, I like the pillow case (if that's what they are officially called!)

It's not the original bracelet, not sure where i'd get one from. I might throw a black leather strap on and see how that looks. It is quite clean and I have bought a new crystal for it so must put it on. Would you say 1970 or 1980?

You have a DeluXe Seiko 5, probably from the 70s.
Check if it has the "marketing jewels: http://thewatchspotblog.com/?p=124
