  • This morning, I visited one of my favourite places on earth, the Raven Forest at Curracloe Beach. Curracloe beach was the site used for the filming of the Saving Private Ryan opening scene depicting the Normandy landings, in this case on Omaha Beach. This all happened during World War 2 (WW2)
    I take a look at one of my favourite watches, the Seiko 6309 Turtle. Also known as the 3rd Diver and discuss some of the features to look for when trying to ascertain of a watch you are looking at is in original condition.
    I also discuss a brilliant watch maker in Ireland by the name of Mark Wilkes @markwilkes.ie is his Instagram handle

    Loved this video Ben. I forgot to leave a comment when you first released it so have come back to do so.
    Amazing to see Curracloe and the beautiful Irish countryside.
    Your enthusiasm really shines through and it is so good to see you putting out great Watch videos again.
    A nice bit of Seiko history and buying advice for people wanting to acquire a piece like this.
    Keep up the great work! ✊

    Great video. Must show you my dad's one. He has a quartz version very similar to yours. Apparently back in the day (80s) Seiko only put quartz movements into their very best watches. I picked up an SKX007 recently and I fully get where you are coming from with Vintage Seiko. They are definitely the D's B's👍

      Thank you. This is a Zulu diver one from Watch Gecko. Discontinued now. But there are many options like this that dont cost big money
