That's bad news about the 6309 Mike,they are real nice watches so i hope this doesn't put you off it once its sorted. Both of mine are over 30yrs old and run like a dream. One of mine was serviced by Jack at IWW and is very accurate. Another movement would be cheap and easy to find anyway. Good luck.

@D-Whore, hey bro you can get a 7548 quartz movt. and drop it in there. Watcholic on WUS haas one for sale. Also you can get a dress version of the 6309 offering's and drop one of those movt. in it. There is a shit load of the dress 6309's on ebay for sale. Either way if you just decide to part ways with it then send me a pm. Good luck bro!

Did you send it back already?

I just noticed it is a ScubaPro. Those are very desireable with the collectors. I don't keep up on the details of these vintage models, but I would think you got a pretty good price even for a non Scuba Pro 6309. Do some research though as there are a ton of fakes and frankens.



EDIT

A second look at the movement and it doesn't look like a 6309 to me as that caliber has a big brass balance wheel. That one might be a 7002. I think I'd just send it back and be done with it.

It isn't a OG Scubapro, since he did state it has a aftermarket dial in it.

I think you are right John,the movement in Mikes watch doesnt appear to be a 6309.
It certainly isnt like the movement in my 6309.

Most def the wrong movement , looks like someone bought an aftermarket dial and with extra pieces put together the watch! Iconic case but i would still think you bought it for the 6309 and would tell him to put the right movement in the watch or send funds back!

I'm so confused as to what this thread is about anymore...
