Hi All, it is my first post on the forum so I thought I would start by seeking some advice on a watch that a friend showed me the other day. It is his dads and I was very interested in it as it looked like a classic seiko 5 sports diver, nice and small for my little wrist, but I could not find anything similar to it in all my searches online. The watch has on both the dial and case back 6106-6040 and when googling this I get a watch with what looks to be the same dial and hands but completely different case. The case that shows up in google is round I guess like a UFO style with no bezel, whereas my mates dads has a black bezel and classic seiko dive shape. The case actually looks very similar to a 7009-8570 but completely different bezel.

Welcome abroad.
Sounds like it's a FrankenSeiko.

Welcome abroad. Sounds like it's a FrankenSeiko. I suspected so, sad as it's a great design. |

A picture would be really great. Can you swing it with the photo hosting ?

Thanks for your input! It's a pity, out of his collection of 30 or so Seiko divers this is the one that stuck out at me. |

Looking at the photo, you have a Franken. The case is from a 7002-7010, the dial is a 6106-6040, bezel insert looks like a Citizen, and lastly the guts of it can be anyone's guess. See samples below, the 7002 and the 6106 (bezel insert is missing on it though). |
