Terry, I'll drop william a line about those. If the hollow end links fit better and don't rattle, then that's the way I'll go.
Henry, if you're reading this, feel free to post up some shots of yours on that bracelet.
Brad,
I would if I still had it, but the one I got from Terry is the one I gave to my daughter-in-law. It has lovely blue lume. Here it is on a Tungchoy, the bracelet Terry's talking about actually went back to him for one of his hybrids.
Funny thing about vintage Seikos, I have two 6309s now. Dunno how that happened. One I got from Chris (CGSshorty) for a really sweet price. Runs like a champ. The other I got from WUS as an IWW rebuild. I can't call it a resto, because it's a relume with domed sapphire crystal. That one had the misfortune to show up in the mail after the MM300, so it sits on the nightstand unworn.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Nice Henry. I'll have another vintage Seiko again someday, but I got some other things a callin' right now.
I had the 6306 on the william jean bracelet with the swedefreak fitted end links. Perfect fit and look, imo. I'll miss it. But it still have my 6105 (on a william jean, of course).

That vintage Seiko looks terrific!!! Also the pics, I must say, are top notch..

Yep, but off to a new home it went. I had forgotten exactly when I got that watch - this resurrected thread shows I had it for well over 2 years. Not a bad run. I'll miss it (at least I know where to find it
).

Too bad that watch will probably suffer from high G loads on Ben's right wrist.

That lume is killer.
So Ben, where the fuck is this watch now and why did I not get dibs? I've already (erroneously) hit up Bjorn, thinking he had my 6306. And I know you said Serdal got the 6306 next. So where is this watch now?
Seriously, whomever ended up with my 6306, hit me up. You know you don't wear it anymore so sell it back to me. Or I'll stalk you until you give in. Thanks.

That's just perfect. Talk about gorgeous.
Just realized this is an old thread. Damn who would sell this? Oh wait, we all pull stunts like this.

Yes. I am kicking my own ass over this. And to think it really only made a small difference in the gun purchase it helped fund.

So where the hell is this watch now?!?! I will bump this to the top everyday for those that do "read active posts" etc. I will find this watch.

I ask because stories have varied. Apparently a certain vintage Seiko went from Ben to Serdal to Ed to Bjorn. That appears to be a 6309.
