I’d be interested to know what the serial number is on yours. Mine is 5283 after the 06. |

Resist dials are all 8009T. Proof dials are all 8000T.
Sounds like a legit transitional 1st 6105. Congrats! Caseback should be around early/mid 1970.

I also just found another 2nd owner watch with SN 070776, so they existed all the way into early July production. Also had no marking on the backside of the dial. -Dan |

Just an FYI, there's another on eBay that is a Resist/Proof with SN 070096.

I can't remember if I put the details of my 6105-8000 that prompted my original question up in this thread.
June 1970 serial. Waterproof caseback, resist 8009T dial.

I just found another from a customer. 061973 So far we have in terms of SN if that's linked to production order 033130 060618 D35730 - D is probably a 0 061973 062523 - Hodinkee listing 064975 065084 065283 066438 070096 070776 The first one (from an early post on this thread) seems to be the outlier. I wonder if it's really a resist proof or has a replacement dial on a proof/proof watch. Either way, it's a pretty tight spread of dates and SN for the confirmed watches. |

Thanks for the stats. Seems like Seiko wanted to use their stock of proof casebacks and could obviously not use them in the US market. Dont think they produced any more after makimg the "decision" to move to resist. In that case they would have kept producing proof dials to IMO. Most if not all 6105-8000 from March 1970 seem to have resist dial and proof back (6105b movement) I had 2 sonfar and saw several. It oes seem like they ran out of proof backs in June 70 but it also seems like they might have picked and choose what countries to send the proof /resist transitionals to. Do you still have the pics? Curious on what sweepers are used on the various you have studied. |

Hi guys,
I discovered this forum by chance looking for info on this Seiko model, I would just like to contribute to what is written being the owner of an example from March 1970 (D3 ....)
Mine also has dial resist and proof caseback, 6105B movement.
Obviously it wasn't always mine because the clock is older than me, so I can't swear its genunity.
Greetings

Greetings That's great information and thanks for the clarity on the actual stamping. Having the 6105B helps with linking it to the Resist/Proof in my mind. Cheers! |
