The 6306 is worth many times more than the 6309 and this looks like a nice watch. What the asking price on the 6306?
I’ve got an option on a turtle from a collector, and the choice is an original Hong Kong cased 6309, or a 6306 for £110 more. Normally this is a no brainer, it’s the 6306, but what is making me hesitate is a slight impact to the bezel between the 31/32 minute markers on the 6306. I’ve attached a picture
Can I have a TZ opinion as to which one? I’ve just had the email asking if I’m still interested, and as I courtesy to the seller, I don’t want to keep him hanging on
Cheers

Currency converted about £610, but liable to import tax
The original 6309 £505, currency converted

Bloody hell. I remember when you could source them for 100-ish...
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Personally prefer the Japan dial so that would swing it for me. Missed out on a 6306 a few weeks ago but it was the 7000 rather than a 7001 with the larger crown and limited production run in 76. Think that went for £800!!
Agree that the one in your picture looks a peach.

Mine, if it becomes so, looks like a May 77 7001, judging from the case back

Just a possible word of caution, is the 6306 all original ? unless the crown has been changed it should be a course one and the crown cutout looks small compared to most 6306s more like the 6309 but neither queries are deal breakers.
I am always put off vintage if the hand lume doesn't match the hour plots (they can age differently) as in OP photo, but in theses times I would query whether the hands have been replaced, not a problem if the buyer is happy with this
Here is mine
I’ve got lots of photos, and the lum tones vary with the lighting used.
