Never owned a Seiko. Never been on the Seiko Forum, if there is one.
I can certainly think of others brands or ‘categories’ that deserve separate sections. Maybe add three or four more sections in the home screen, including Seiko.
Already a number of them out there...
None for Japanese, this clearly states one extra section not multiple. This is due to the Omega Forums being the best watch forum on the internet and a separate site would never be as good.
A most excellent 6309, sir! 👍
Not as vintage as your 6309 [mine will be 32 years young this December]...I bought it new in 1987 when I was 23 while in U.S. Navy pilot training...and I continue to fly with it today. 👍
This 6309 will be 40 years young this fall, bought it when I was 17! Bought a new Rolex GMT (black) last week and I'm wearing this today.
So, when they get to be this old, does your watchmaker service the movement or pop in a new one if parts are hard to get?
Not sure if you're serious, but Seiko no longer makes this movement. The only way would be to properly service it and find parts as necessary for any that are worn out. I don't own a 6309, but I don't imagine parts are that hard to get a hold of when needed.
Basically, yeah, I was asking if you can't find parts because they're too hard to get, do you save the movement like we'd save the original Tritium hands for a vintage Speedy Pro, and go with a new replacement? Maybe I structured my question wrong.
But that was assuming that parts were that hard to get after 40 years.
I just came in from outside on a sunny day and set the MM on my desk. The lume is crazy strong, my room isn’t even dark.
