If you’re looking to add an affordable vintage to your line up without sacrificing build quality, the “DX” sub lines are possibly the best bargain for your budget. DX or deluxe notates that these variants are at the higher end of the entry level market. Often fitted with the Suwa division’s venerable 6106 workhorse, these watches will give you the performance you need with styling to spare. This beefy blue stunner from June of ‘73 could not be missed. The cobalt blue dial with lacquer finishing is immaculate. It’s framed by a polished chapter ring that works reflected light across the polished markers and hands with white overlay striping. The case is tightly contoured with beveled edges and mixed finishes that make for pounds of vintage appeal. Attached to the original bracelet, it’s completely original aside from a replacement crystal, and guaranteed to be a go to “daily driver.” The self-winding 6106 offers hacking seconds, and post service is keeping near perfect time. If you’re looking to add your first vintage piece, or a bit of color to your existing line up, this one won’t be beat.
