Few brands can boast a history as storied as Seiko's when it comes to divers, a history that began in earnest in 1965 when the brand released their first dive watch, the 6127 (62MAS). In the decades that followed, Seiko would build upon this legacy with the 6215 (and subsequently, the hi-beat 6159)¡ªSeiko's first divers rated to 300m¡ªto be followed by the 6105 (made iconic on Martin Sheen's wrist in Apocalypse Now), the 6309/6306, and the 007¡ªthe current benchmark of affordable divers everywhere.?

Also, if down the road I send it in to RSC for service, would they require to switch it back to the original black dial since it wouldn't be in the factory original configuration?
