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  Nice score Mario. I am a fan of the orange dialed Seiko's...too. Michael |

mine, with discolored insert... Very nice! Is it true that the -729B was only produced for two years from 1982 to 1983? |
