Seiko 6309-7049, September 1979, fully serviced, attractive daily driver
Out of my own watch box, a very nice and original 6309 150m diver. Fully serviced, case rebuilt with all new seals, movement upgraded with upper & lower mainspring arbor jewels.
- Fully serviced 6309A movement in great original condition. 
- Movement upgraded with upper & lower mainspring arbor jewels 
- All case sealing surfaces are clean and undamaged, and all seals have been replaced 
- Case has been lightly rebrushed on the upper surfaces. Lower surfaces & caseback show signs of use - swirlies, small marks - but no abuse. No tool marks on the caseback. 
- New KVW 320W34GN00 crystal in place 
- Crown screws down completely and firmly - no binding or cross-threading 
- Rotating ring clicks bidirectionally 360º. Insert is espexially nice, with a good clean pip. 
- Dial lume is a slight butter-cream tan, rare to see in a ‘79 as it’s more of an early feature. 
- Dial resist text is faded to gray. 
- All dial printing clean and clear, very nice. 
- Hand lume is original and clean. There are some tiny black pepper marks to the edges of the lume windows, but I can only see them with magnification
