They don麓t come around often nowadays, so one has to be determined when the chance is given, if you want one...

路I've always been curious about a Seiko 6309-7040. But I love the Kanji date of the 6306. So I managed to find this. It'll be my new beater watch. Original case, bezel and case back, new dial and hands, new bezel insert and a kanji date wheel. A bit of a Frankenstein but I don't care. I love it. It'll take a couple of weeks to get to me...

Not a franken in Seiko world, just "modded". Not my thing, but sort of interesting that the modding culture exists. I really like how these 6309-704x watches wear. Cool piece. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks AAAKK. My collection is pretty much focused on classic sports watches and I've always thought a couple of Seikos are needed. I'd really love a nice condition 6105 and might try to find one someday. For now I don't think I can go wrong by paying $180 for a classic dive watch. I've always loved the style of the 6309s. And I agree that with these modding is pretty kosher. It's really just a modernized refurbished vintage watch with aftermarket replacements. And they are robust enough to bum around in without worry!

Agreed. I just picked up my first Seiko, a wabi'd 6309-7049, about 10 days ago. I regret waiting this long to own one as they make a great beater - big and robust as you noted, but comfortable on the 22mm straps. I posted a pic of it earlier today in WRUW.

I saw it! And it's awesome. Congratulations!
