It dates from 1969 and is absolutely mint condition and came with the original strap (now replaced with a genuine crocodile one), a tag and a service booklet..... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyMo Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 That is not a Marlin, the series is named 21 Jewel. Can you show a picture of the movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Back on 'blue dialled watches', I finished sorting this one out today, day and date change were 12 hours apart . Turned out to be that the day change finger had somehow jumped over its stop on the plastic date change finger..... Anyway once working correctly it deserved a nice new crystal and some wrist time.. Its a 6923-8000 from June 1982, not a quartz calibre that I've come across before, rather surprised to find that the usual bronze 'C' clip that usually is used to hold the day wheel down had been replaced with, a very much more expensive to produce, solid ring with a sort of collet on the bottom, that clips onto the tube when pushed down.......... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easj369 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I picked up this 6309 with the crystal so destroyed I didn't even know what color the dial was. It cleaned up ok and now actually runs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdm Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 6139-8039 NOS. Love it but I'm in two minds about should wearing it with a solid links bracelet, or let it go to a genuine collector. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original, with folded links one is light but flimsy by today standards. Good solid links ones are made for other case references, but not for this one. No big deal really.

Hi, the reason is that I don't wear the watch everyday anymore like I used to. In my experience the kinetic batteries seem to go bad if not regularly charged. So for me it would be a waste of money to fit a new kinetic battery.Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLwatchguy73 Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 While I'm generally not a fan of the Submariner aesthetic, it is a beautiful watch. The shade of blue is very appealing. I like how they color matched the hubs of the hands so they kind of disappear into the dial, it's a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
