While I've seen some very nice vintage models, for the most part, the collectors ignore them and most don't fetch over $50.00 on ebay auctions. Unfortunately, that's about all I can tell you about the brand. I think over time, as the interest in Japanese watches increase, we'll see an interest in the smaller brands like Ricoh. Pete Hi Tony,

Does anyone know anything about it or have any history, I can post a picture if you tell me how? I love to hear from you, I also have an old Seiko but I know all about that one I think.

I was thoroughly surprised to learn that Ricoh even made a dive watch let alone a shrouded variation that might possibly predate Seiko's quartz shrouded divers. This is exciting indeed and I'm going to follow this closely. Thanks Pete! This is certainly an intriguing piece and may arouse a “Zheng He” type situation!
