Overhauled Seiko 6309 vintage diver- IWW

[logan2z]

What was the time & cost for all this?

Listen here Hop Sing, don't ruin a good thread with details.

Me so sorry small hooded one

Full service and sapphire crystal was just under $250, dial and new hands with relume was $105.


So yeah I'm deep into it, but it's the way to go with one of these if you want it to glow and not worry about getting it wet.

That doesn't sound too bad at all, especially considering the result.

Agreed. It's not a "cheap Seiko" with upgrades, it's a classic, high quality watch brought back to life for many more years of service, at a price you couldn't match for a new watch of the same quality.

Thanks Andrew and Henry.

Awesome! Exactly what I would have done with that 6309.

[gonzomantis]

Nice.

I need to get a new crystal for my 6105 - can Jack get 'em?

He hooked me up with sapphire on my 6105.

That is fantastic Ben. I would much rather have this rather than a certain well known homage with a storm wave name. Congrats.

Thanks nick!
Saw a winner when you posted it last year.

[BBK357]

Fall shots-

[CesarG]

Sweet. Looks perfect.

[3cGT]

That is a great look, I really appreciate the sympathetic resto, IMHO when these watches are zero timed they loose a lot of appeal.

[polaco23]

Really classy and proper resto. Glad you got real hands, they fact they would be the only thing different would bug me.

I really like these cushion case seiko's

[spring-diver]

Excellent results....I'll have to send Jack my 6309 for a full service.

Cheers
