Never been polished. Could not be happier.

When back in London, it deserves a new, more punchy strap. Colour suggestions please! (I'm veering towards a bottle green.)

Great watch, the KS52 is one of the best movements Seiko ever made, and the 6010 is quite a rare case. I had one for a while. I'd keep to the original style with black leather.
