Hi,it should not be a 6031?,with the housing without notch and with "water 70m proof"at 9h it will be the good architecture. There are something strange for me, a compagny like seiko would never mix "resistant" and "proof". Or it could be a mix watch and not original one. but i'M not à specialist Whoops, I was asleep at the wheel and mine is actually a 6031. In the scope of things I think it still points to the possibility that proof dials they had on hand may have been used until the supply ran out and possibly paired with Resist case backs. I am with Tom on this one. It is important to keep in mind that the change from Proof to Resist was not a hard-and-fast overnight mandate for the entire world. It really only directly affected watches going to the US market. So it is not surprising that we see some mix-and-match with watches destined for other countries...ones without such hungry lawyers. That watch looks perfectly fine to me. Not NOS, but very gently and briefly used. Honestly, I'd be more suspicious of it were it from '70 or '72!

Rod,have you seen on the bay à 6139-6032 at almost 1300$ crasy no? And lower looking comparing to this one on yahoo japan. I saw that listing. I think that's too high considering that recent Forward model went for much less.
