    Poor mans Seiko 6306

    I've been looking for a 6306 but theres always something wrong i.e. wrong datewheel, hacking not working, non original dial and price!! :cry:
    So I thought I'd make my own poor mans version based on a stock 1978 6309-7049. :)
    1978 6309-7049 case and dial
    NOS 6309 movement
    6309 hacking kit
    NOS Kanji daywheel
    Blue AR sapphire
    Hammer bracelet/Seiko double locking clasp

    Prefer your bracelet to the super Oyster I had my 6105-8119 on,it's now on an MM300 rubber.
