Nice, but should be a 7002 perhaps? The 6139 is a cronograph and did not had a -7049 case.

You are exactly right. The watch I refurbished is a 6309-7049. I am currently working on a 6139-6019. Too many numbers. Thank you for correcting me.

Strange, I can't see the 6309 turtle shape in your watch

However sometime 6309 case were skilfully skimmed and reshaped, especially in the Far East. Or it's a 6309-729A with a swapped caseback.

I just rebuilt another 6309-7049 for a guy and noticed that the case was chunkier than mine. I wondered what the difference was. This is a picture of his. It's noticeably  bigger. 

This one is strange too because of distorted shape on the left, as if a big dent was removed together with a lot of metal.

6309 divers were made in two generations. Some history, and pictures of a fake one

Just refurbished this classic. Cleaned and serviced. All new gaskets and domed crystal. New Seiko bracelet. New bezel and insert. Runs great.

The dial is in great shape. The hands show their age a bit. The lume is completely dead. I thought about reluming them but I'm really not very good at it. I've only re-lumed a couple of dials and I wasn't very impressed with my work. I think I could do the hands ok.

      Never and others. Yes like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross

      Get someone local to tig it ,very easy fix and should only take a few minutes so probably wouldn’t cost much ,or failing that get it very clean and silver solder it. Dell

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      Hi, The winding pin is not split, well that's how it was when I obtained the watch. The movement is front-loaded and here's a picture of where the case screws are fitted. The face picture is before I dismantled it.

      I dont think mine is. Its an idea to have them all in one place if possible, then a quick screenshot will have them saved. Unless anyone has any other ideas of how to reconnect
