VINTAGE SEIKO DIVER 6309-7049 from 1979

[@jacobclark288]

My dad was a dive instructor in the 80s and has one of these, its currently in the mail on the way to me!!! I can't wait! His is the slightly newer one from the early 80's that doesn't have that small logo under the 150m text.

Definitely all original. I've been collecting these for 15+ years. I've currently got 3 of these but owned dozens over the years.

That’s awesome

Two weeks ago I bought a 1977 6309-7049. It was well worn but it came with a NOS bezel and insert as well as the original box, papers and original GL835 strap. Has been serviced and running well. I don’t think it’s ever seen water.

Great video! I have my step dad's 6309. All original, including scratches. I wouldn't change a thing. You're right, the "water resist" is in red still. Thanks for sharing.

I've still got my 6309 that I bought new in '84, back when i was very involved in diving. It's my 2nd one. My first one, I carelessly left on the hood of my truck and drove away. Didn't realize it until much later. Other than replacing the band a few times, my 6309 is in new condition. Great watch.

I have the 1978 version of this watch with similar Wabi-Sabi...that's how they should look. Like Watch Nut said, it def looks all original I would love a nice all original 6306 though. IMO the 6306/6309 are the best damn divers Seiko has ever made. That case is unbelievably comfortable on wrist.

Awesome watch! that's my birth year and I've been looking for one of those, so hit me up if you ever decide to sell it LOL

I have a 1979 Seiko 6309 7049. Very similar to yours, nearly the exakt same amount of wabi.

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]
