Just got an original 6106 that this was based on from 1968. Pretty awesome and it solves one of the problems of the reissue, having a much better bracelet. The reissue is very faithful but wish they replicated the bracelet better.
I love this from Seiko, but I'm disappointed they put the other three 55th anniversary models in the SKX case. I really wanted to see the 1969 regatta timer in a period correct case.
That would have been cool for sure. I was pretty surprised they went with this case over the skx case. Glad they did. I'd love to see a proper Pogue reissue next. Thanks!
I've had this since November and it's been a real problem child. The watch was slow from my A.D. and turns out I magnetized the thing with a Strap Habit quick release FKM tropic style strap. The strap changes on this can be difficult due to the lug design. I recommend thin straps and bracelets with a thinner straight end link. I tried on a Bonetto Cinturini 328 rubber NATO it was too tall. The bulbus case back feels great against the wrist but doesn't work with a double pass strap. The only thing that keeps me from selling this is I think these will increase in price once they dry up.
Love this watch Bob, yes the crown is a bit to get used too, I have no issue with the bracelet, you can probably take another link out of yours and micro adjust it for a better fit. That’s what I did with mine. Excellent review as always:)
Yeah I like the look but not so much the wearing experience. It's been on that Bullet from Forstner most of the time and really liking it with that combo. Thanks man 👊

I wear mine on a vintage style tropical, the ones with the big holes in them. Looks great on the watch imo
Saw someone on Instagram with a similar strap and it looked great. Might have to give it a try.

I had one pop up for sale recently in my area but missed out. I'd love to get the original sometime. Thanks!

The Forstner straight link straps I have work really good. It's definitely a tight fit for a lot of other straps though.

It's great. Wearing it loads since I got it. Sounds like you're enjoying yours too. Cheers!
@@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepiecesLove it!
Vintage done right. Great work, Bob!
Thanks you!
Love this one! Such a cool piece! 👌🏼👏🏼
Thanks Adrian! 👊👍
even the box is beautiful, beautiful watch Bob 👍
I like that retro style box too. Thanks Stefaan!
It's definitely right up your alley. Awesome.
Actually wearing it right now.
Like the looks of the watch Bob. The bracelet reminds me of the old expansion ones. Not for me.🇨🇦
You're right. Looks a lot like those older Speidel bracelets.
The braclet fits me perfect...
It's a little off for me but I still like the bracelet. Looks great on the watch.
Definitely classic cool. I'm late to every party B😂!!
Lol. Me too 😅
Love the watch not so much the bracelet. I would definitely replace that bracelet.
