Hi there, I received a Seiko to refurbish in a very poor condition. The case was from a 6309, but the movement was a 6349. The dial feet were sheared off and the dial glued in place. However, I was very pleased to see that with the exception of a few additional jewles the movements were almost identical... Almost!

Once I refurbished the case amd movement and came to casing up the watch the reality hit me that the 6349 is a 3 O'clock pendant position but the 6309 is a 4 O'clock pendant position. Now the day/date are not aligned with the window at the 4 O'clock position.

My question is: if I replace the 6349 day/date cards with donor 6309 cards will they now line up at the 4 O'clock position? Its an expensive experiment to perform if I am wrong, hence seeing if anyone here has come across this?

Some pictures below:

it could just be different dial feet positioning only, you would need to compare.....I think you can see on those movements where the dial feet are positioned on the outside of the movement from the movement side.....
