Yard (Car Boot) Sale Find: Seiko 6309-7409 Watch

Gadget Guy · **on:** March 28, 2010, 05:39:34 AM

I found this beauty at a yard sale today for .50.

It works perfect and in perfect condition this baby is worth around $300.

This one has several scratches on the crystal, but otherwise in very good condition. Needless to say I'm a very happy camper!!

Nice find, I don't really know what I'm doing with watches so don't go hunting for them. I grabbed a few Swatchs and a couple of old Casios at last year's car boot sales. They made me a few quid on ebay

cgk · **Reply #12 on:** March 28, 2010, 07:47:08 PM

Very cool surprise find.

Zed · **Reply #13 on:** March 28, 2010, 07:53:15 PM

I'm with you.

I usually just pass when I see watches sitting on a table, but I noticed that the watch said "Seiko" and I thought would give it a shot. I figured I could always give it away for parts or something if it didn't work.

Here she is with her new Zulu strap:

Absolutely stunnng find. Watch collecting is my other hobby, mostly Seikos and all mechanicals. That's a great watch and a great find and price makes it even more special.

Zack · **Reply #18 on:** March 29, 2010, 03:12:34 AM

Very nice find...been looking around for one of those for quite sometime.

Zed · **Reply #19 on:** March 29, 2010, 07:55:17 AM

Freudian Frog · **Reply #20 on:** March 29, 2010, 08:02:32 AM

Nice grab!

I've never really been into watches as I've found them uncomfortable to wear but lately I've been wearing a swatch.

donvito · **Reply #21 on:** March 29, 2010, 10:32:31 PM

Great find GG, good locking watch

Mike · **Reply #22 on:** March 30, 2010, 03:04:33 AM
