Seiko Navigator 6117-6410

Tubber · Oct 30, 2017

Bog standard Seiko Navigator, 6117-6410 cheap find on Ebay. Cracked crystal, missing bezel and low power reserve. Dial and lume are excellent and it will clean up very well along with a movement service.
Is it just me or does it bear a striking resemblance to my avatar?

i'll take the one in your avatar if you prefer this one?

Lovely Navigator by the way... it'll clean up nicely!

I might just keep a hold of the one in the avatar too. I don't even have a photo of that one 🙁.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

Looks great to me! I just picked one of these up recently too. I don't think you are missing any bezel. Being a watch that cannot be wound, a couple days of wearing seem to give mine a power reserve of an extra days-worth. But it does have a quick-set date, which is handy in that situation. My favorite part is the intentionally-joggled GMT hand. Enjoy!

Just realised this Tuesday. Speedy Tuesday! But I have to back to work today, bugger.

Definitely missing the outer Steel bezel. Quick set date is a bonus. The GMT hand is a favourite too. Got any photos? What do you wear it on strap or bracelet?

Yep, missing the outer bezel for me too. Lovely find though, it’s a cracker.

Hey, I'm sorry, I guess it's hard for me to tell in that photo since it would just be a thin ring around the crystal. Sure, here's a pic with it's brother. I usually just wear them on Nato's since the bracelets are tricky to adjust. Similar but way different on the wrist!

I also own the grey sunburst with a bezel. 😉 love it.

That's a really nice one. What bracelet do have it on?

Here's one I removed the original bracelet and installed a brown strap.

Was the original finish polished or brushed? Here is an original advertisement and it looks polished.

Arrived back from the watchmaker and cleaned up quite well.

If anybody has an original bracelet they would part with please drop me a DM.
