Grail Seiko 6159 7001 300m

I would like to share my grail Seiko 6159 7001 300m dive watch. Its one of the most sought after by any Seiko collector and it took me a long while to find one in untouched condition. I was lucky enough to meet a reclusive collector who has a stash of 1400 watches! He had 4 of these model and was kind enough to sell me one on the condition that I will not negotiate on the price that he wants for the watch. I just bit the bullet and paid for what he wanted. Its well worth it anyway.

Absolute stunner, even with what looks like the original strap. Not bad for a 47 years old watch!
