I want that

It’s the one I bought new about 7 years ago. It’s beat up, still on original battery.

I have no idea what you’re talking about Image what’s Hautman?
This is his first watch brand/company. He is based in Texas but the watches are made in Switzerland.

I thought I once heard it was that Ibrahim guy who did Hautman. That said they are great looking these tockrs!

Tockr originally went to Ibriham for help with manufacturing etc. Ibrahim of course screwed them over. I can’t say anymore than that.

First impressions:

The gilt color and the dial are just beautiful. I cannot capture on my pictures the colors of this watch, its amazing. Great size and weight, its perfect for nato wear... but the bracelet looks well made, will report back when I have time to size it. It does need drilled lugs. Also, the end links are not attached to the bracelet... I like that they are on the PO bracelet (not a big thing, but something that could be improved).

Toxic nato, of course :fro:
Cool, congrats

Man. You have some incredible MIL watches. One of my first watch forums I belonged too a LONG time ago was MWR and really love seeing these spread among the other forums too. Some of the finest watches made from the MIL specs and beyond. Enjoy!

I think if I had one watch it would be this one. Really leaning towards selling my Explorer II and CWC and moving this direction. Simplifying down to one watch that hits all the marks and having owned a few of these over my watch collecting years I think I could. A classic that will always hold value. Enjoy!!

Wow! What a beauty. The 6139 and variants are incredible! It’s no wonder these have almost doubled In value over the last couple years and see no end to their increased value. Really an incredible time piece and a classic with so much up side potential just hanging onto them.

Boy; I would leave it as is. All original and what a beauty. Like, the afore mentioned 6139; the prices on excellent examples, like yours (untouched) carry quite a premium. Seiko is still such an incredible value: though some of the 6105’s both 8110 and 8000 as well as the 62mas have headed well beyond what I ever thought they would in the market, but even so, marvel’s in early and current forward thinking technology. Love your 6309!

Much appreciated, Blaine! Well I've been keeping track for a day now and it's slugging along at -80spd... It'll get a service fresh gaskets and a crystal. I'm really surprised at how nice the insert is next to this beat up glass! Other than that I'm not changing a thing. I think I've done pretty well with the divers and I'm looking hard at the 6139s!

Nice collection. I think the Z199 was one of the BEST bracelets built. Screw links and solid as they come. Comfort beyond comfort. These too command quite a price IF you can find one an all original. I had a NOS one a year ago and of course parted with it. Oh boy... oh well. Larry aka UncleSeiko has done an incredible job replicating the original. But nothing EVER compares to the real deal. Enjoy all those beauties!

I've got one of each. Larry's is awesome in it's own right. But there are differences. I think it's a good thing, keeps me from judging one against the other unnecessary. The Z199 is so slick feeling, worth the hunt if not the $$$! I got lucky and knew what I was looking at but it wasn't noted in the ad. I wasn't the only one though and they made me pay, lol.
