For seiko 6309/diver fans

[Zed]

There has been a lot of interest in mine and others 6309's so i thought i would talk about mine and a few pics, mine was given to me by a good friend, he fitted a NOS seiko movement in it plus he got it with the yobokies mil 24hr dial and yobokies hands, the chapter ring ive changed a few times but ended up with the polished brass one as i like it this way, i fitted a acrylic domed crystal as wanted a domed one plus wanted one thats easy to polish out marks and scratches,i also fitted fixed steel strap bars as i dont trust spring bars as have had them failed before, i also brushed the case, i manily use nato style straps as prefer them as there solid and last a long time, the 17j movement in these old seiko's last a long time plus keep good time, you can still easily pick up NOS movements for these and generally works out cheaper than a service, but TBH they go on for years, you cant go wrong with these old classic divers, mine is a 1985 6309-7290 this is a slightly slimmer  cushion case .Thanks for reading ,this is my favorite ECD and never leaves my wrist unless i wash the strap

thanks for looking 

[Neil]

I think the larger watches would be a little too chunky for me but I really like the dial on yours.  Most watches I see have too much going on.  I want marks for the minutes and some numbers... that's it

I can certainly see why you like it

Nice watch!  My only Seiko is my Orange Monster, which I doubt I will ever part with, despite occasionally musing about the possibility.....

Of course, now we also need pics of that Stratocaster!

Now where can I get a dirt cheap one that you will do up for me? 

now that the million dollar question ben, sadly they arnt going to cheap these days but the odd beater does come up now and then, and at the moment i can get a few parts including NOS movements, 

[Zack]

I've got one coming, but it wasn't cheap...but then again its practically brand new...save for a few small scuffs on the clasp.  Dang thing cost me a Sebenza, but there is no need for me own two...thats just being greedy.  I should have it Thursday.

[Benner]

I guess by cheap you aren't meaning a tenner?

   sorry mate , you can get a nato for a tenner 

[Zack]

Got mine today, but I have to get a link or two taken out due to my woman wrists.

   at least you have a real mans watch zack     

[Zack]

Didn't realize the links were the screw out kind.  I figured they were pressed in.  The corkscrew driver on a sak is the perfect size to remove the screws.  Now it fits perfectly.
