Yes. It just settles into your wrist. The weight and case shape make it super conformable. The bezel has been turned a thousand times, yet its still smooth with just the right weigh and resistance. I am super thrilled every time I look at it on my wrist. I think- 'here's this little machine, that has been plugging away, doing its thing for exactly a month longer than I have'. Runs +12, which is amazing after all these years.

There is also the nerdy stuff like the Proof/Proof & Proof/Resist stuff that you only see on these transitional models from late 69 to mid 70. Spencer Klein and Blairwatch youtube channels helped me know what to look for. Mine was cheaper than most as it has a small dial touch-up just next to the 9 lume plot. There are a bunch out there- comes down to budget, but I see most for @ 1700ish.

I emailed back and forth with Blairwatch Project about the serial number of the 6105-8000 as the serial number started with a "D" vs a 0 (see pic) Turns out for the first 480 casebacks stamped in March of 1970, the machinist grabbed a D instead of a 0 die for the stamp. I found several posts listing watches from the same month that also had a D vs 0, and Blairwatch confirmed he had seen a few from the same month all of which were between 0090 and 0480- so we're assuming it was the whole run from 0001 to at least 0480 as the rest of the examples were above 0623 had the proper 0. Its a neat lil quirk.

Just checked it out. He's not even accepting service slots at this time. There is also an outfit in canada called- the seikoligist. I will reach out to them.

youre right. whats the point of having it but not wearing. I am going to send it to Spencer Klein for service. He's the only one i trust.

For me it was my birth year Slim Willard. 6105-8000 from march 1970. I only wear it when I know I will not be involved in anything remotely physical, or with 20m of any water, and no doors...walls are a no go... looks like it owns me vs. me owning it. I now understand why "that douchebag in the porsche" parks way off at the end of the parking lot.

Heres the NG on a 7.25 wrist.

I have the Nivada (the no date version) im 80% on it. The not enough friction on the bezel (which is a bi-directional non click) so it creeps around. IMHO- it looks better in the photos than it does on my wrist.
