A ten year quest for finding a rather cheap but rather rare Seiko 150m dive watch with orange dial came to its end today. I have picked this up today from customs (came from Peru): 1982 Seiko 6309-729B

Average condition and came with an AM bezel insert but I had one of Yobokies excellent repro inserts which looks very nice imho. Yes there are better Seikos out there but sometimes it's all about owning all dial variations so I just had to find the orange dialed 6309-729B one day

Thanks gents. It's so nice to "complete a set"

I've managed to find two of these. Neither of them perfect, and both need original gold lettered bezel inserts.

Maybe not perfect but still very very nice! I still wonder why the dial and hands of a 1978 7548-700x usually are in much better condition compared to a later 6309-729x...

What year are they from please if you don't mind me asking?

Mine is from August 1982. The day wheel seems to be in spanish only, I mean it's bilingual but both languages seem to be spanish:
