Another Quest begins

[catkicker]

So I have been in N. Carolina since early October working at Sharon Harris power plant. I have been nearing completion of my job here so I have been scouring the craigslist ads in the states I will be traveling close to on the way home. A few days ago some early 70's Vintage Seiko treasure appeared in Pennsylvania.




I will be taking a slight detour on the way home to Ohio. This 6105-8110 was purchased by the sellers Father. He is selling it to satisfy siblings arguments over estate. Very sad situation. She's a bit rough right now, I know this classic just needs a trip to Ft. Collins Colorado to look beautiful again.

cheering-clapping-smiley-emoticon  Fantastic! The only deal I ever got on craigslist was a nice 6309 all original cushion case.  Enjoy, I can't wait to see the updated pics on this one.

That's a GREAT find.  Especially with the history too.

Craigslist watches are just a little sweeter than their Ebay equivalents.  Congrats!

So the journey home via Pennsylvania has ended.

Looking forward to seeing it after a bit of TLC, congrats on your find!

Thanks. The hunt is 1/2 the fun of collecting.  I'm going to pick up a old Dresser that has a nice set of 6105 hands and and then ship it off to Spencer for service and a gentle restoration.

It's a great watch - it has one of the greatest attributes of any vintage example: wearability.

Super awesome, great watch.

Replacement hands, on the way. Swiss Tropical, on the way.
