Vintage Seiko 5 DX 6106-7000 1968
I generally stay away from pre 1970 Seiko's but when something is in good condition I have to pick it up - This Vintage Seiko 5 Deluxe 'DX' with reference 6106-7000 is a great example. I've looked at this model many times as it is featured on the front-page of the Seiko 1968 Dealer Catalog. It's produced in 1968 an was only sold in Japan and is therefor a JDM (Japan Domestic Market Model) - it features Kanji & English Day-Date.
As an earlier Seiko '5' this promised on all 5 characteristics: automatic winding, day-date window, water resistant, sunken crown and water-resistant material. Even 60 years later, you'll still get a quality watch for your money.
The 6106 is an automatic caliber, this is the 6106C specifically found in higher-end models (hence the "DX" or "Deluxe" badge) with 25 Jewels. The watch runs well and is measured with -25s/d abbreviation, has a 241 Amplitude and (high) 3.6ms beat error. I don't think it's worth the service v.s. price but definitely possible for daily use. Note: The 6106 only has quickset-date by pressing the crown, no quickset day.

All your questions answered
Are these Genuine Seiko Watches?
Yes - all watches offered on WatchEra are 100% genuine.
I have been collecting Seiko & Watches for over 10 years, had over 1500 different seiko's passed through my hands, are actively contributing to forums & groups and carefully - I even own a bunch of Seiko Catalogs & Books to use as reference.
- If parts are replaced (like strap or crystal) this is always mentioned in the description.
- I do not sell "redials", "mumbai specials" "seiko mods" or other franken-watches related.
- To proof the authenticity, I'll give you all references available, the original model number and a picture of how the watch was depicted in the original vintage seiko dealer catalog.
Feel free to ask me any specific questions about vintage Seiko watches.
3 Months Warranty - How does it work?
All watches sold on WatchEra are working and any details important to the functionality are mentioned.
I do stand behind the quality of the watches that I sell and therefor offer a 3 month warranty on the movement.
At WatchEra - every watch that hits the store is checked by myself personally or by one of the watchmakers I work with.
However - most watches sold are used, vintage and sometimes very old wristwatches. Generally speaking I'm not aware of the (service) history or water resistance but will describe the current condition as transparant as possible.

How are you able to offer so much Vintage Seiko Watches?
That's the secret of the smith ofcourse, but to give a small insight:
I've been collecting vintage Seiko Watches myself for over 10 years and over the years I've built a net work of fellow seiko-collectors, watch resellers and other companies and individuals that are able to consistently offer high-quality genuine vintage Seiko's to me, mainly from Asia & Japan.
Next to that, I use alot of the same platforms that you might use and local marketplaces, watch fairs & auctions.
Also, do note that Seiko was one of the booming and most succesful watch companies throughout the 70s and 80s and millions of Seikos were produced & sold - my skill is finding the right ones for you :)
