I think my bid was 420 including postage. But to be honest I hoped I didn't win because I couldn't have really afforded it. Trying really hard not to buy....but also it's bloody hard selling the few I have... A friend told me this, though; "There are always more watches!". So I hope to just continue tinkering and doing jobs and ultimately trying to buy back my 6105 by new year. I guess a lot of the high bidders aren't really members of here or scwf whereas I used to watch an item to see it posted within the next few days on the forums just in the short time I've been a member. Not all the time....but fairly often. That seems to have changed a fair bit now it seems? Or I guess people just keep it to themselves maybe. Nope, I never keep it to myself :-) Actually, I almost never buy a watch through eBay - too much competition. Looking at my records, I have three watches that I bought off eBay - and one of those was the first watch I ever bought myself - back in 2010. You're right though, Guy, there are a lot of Seiko collectors on more general sites that have have never joined up here or at SCWF. I'm also noticing more and more Seikos of the radars of luxury Swiss watch collectors. I'm a member of the Omega forum (although I can't afford a Speedy I do like them and some other Omegas a lot) and there's a seemingly growing respect for all things Seiko over there. And Omega collectors seem to have never ending pockets!

Poor mans MAS is not such a fitting term for this little treasure anymore.

Poor mans MAS is not such a fitting term for this little treasure anymore. They're approaching prices that a 62MAS would have attracted 2-3 years ago. I can't believe I watched two 62MAS' go in job lots for about $700AUD a couple of years ago 😢
