It just would not be right to replace that bezel, it's taken 45 years to look that cool!
Hope you still like it Tone.

I'm intrigued - is this sarcasm or are you not warming to the most prized seiko diver? I ask because never having seen one in the flesh I get the historical value but looks-wise it doesn't thrill me (JMHO, with the greatest respect to all their acolytes!)...

I don't disagree with you at all tony. I think real rarity comes into it a bit as well though.Not sarcasm. It's a lot of money your paying for what is basically a date only watch that can go 150m under water. You could buy 4 or 5 chrono's for the same money or a couple of 6105's. I think this is one of those items that has been driven over priced through folks who don't have to worry about money and 'must have' the first Seiko diver. It's a bit like classic cars. I've owned Jag E-Types, Escort Mk1 RS2000's & Twin cams, Plymouth Road Runners & GTO's and there is 'no way' they are worth the money they fetch. Their prices as with the watch are being over inflated by folk with too much excess money or big limits on their credit cards. I'm going to give it a bit longer but most likely will trade it out for either a mint Silverwave of the same period which in my humble is a much nicer looking watch or a Omega Speedmaster. The Silverwave will leave me with enough money left over for 2 more watches or the Speedmaster will mean I have to cough up another £200GBP for what is a much more technical watch and with moon landing history attached. Just my opinion for what it is worth. I'm my books these should be £300 watches max.
