Sell Your Vintage Seiko Divers in London

About the Seiko Divers

Seiko's dive heritage began in 1965 with the 62MAS, followed by the 6105 (worn in Apocalypse Now), the long-running 6309 'Turtle' and the 7549 'Tuna'. Original dials, bezels and hands define the collectable examples.

Notable vintage Divers references

Vintage references we regularly assess include:

• Reference 6217 (62MAS) — first Seiko diver
• Reference 6105 — cushion-case 'Willard'
• Reference 6309 — 'Turtle' automatic diver
• Reference 7549 — quartz 'Tuna'
• Original dials, bezels and hands, often replaced

Originality on a vintage Seiko Divers

On a vintage Seiko diver, an original dial, correct hands, a period bezel insert and matching lume matter as much as the reference. Aftermarket parts are common and affect value, and we explain exactly what we find.

What affects the value of a Seiko Divers

Among the factors we weigh when valuing a vintage Seiko Divers:

• Reference and production period
• Dial, bezel and hand originality
• Case condition and prior polishing
• Movement condition and service history
• Matching bracelet where present
• Provenance and any papers present

Selling a Seiko Divers without box or papers

Missing paperwork does not put a sale out of reach. We may consider a vintage Seiko Divers without its original box, papers, warranty card or receipt.

Any purchase remains subject to authentication, condition inspection, and ownership and identification checks. Documentation can affect valuation depending on the piece, and we will always explain how.

How Fair Vintage assesses your Seiko Divers

We look at originality first — dial, hands, case and, where relevant, bezel and bracelet — then movement condition and any service history.

Replacement parts, prior polishing, provenance, and box and papers all feed into the assessment. We explain our reasoning so the offer is one you can understand and rely on.
