Took day off, scored 1960s Seiko Turtle diver 6105-8000 at garage sale.

Hello friends, I have a lot of vacation days to take before June 1. I've scheduled every Friday off from now until then. Got up really early, hit a comm sale, but no luck. Hurried back to my county to catch as many sales as possible, and I found this lovely Seiko Turtle. It was not outside, so I asked the gentleman seller if he had any watches. He thinks about it, and tells me that he has an Old Seiko diver from the 60s. He tells me that he has an emotional attachment, and I tell him thatI have cash. He laughs, and goes and gets it. I see it, but never thought it was a turtle. I asked him for a price, he gives it to me, and we shake hands. I've been searching for one of these, and the searching and asking finally paid off. Let me know what you think. Thank you.

Thank you very much to all. I sincerely appreciate it. Thanks for the link, Jim. Chub, I do not know about the original strap. I will probably put a nice Nato on it. :-) Thanks again.

Well done. You do not say what you paid so you obviously don't want to know if you did well in price. Looks to be 60s to me. Hang onto it. They are going up
