I really love this one too, but Seiko and I are really just like oil and water...Over the last 2 weeks I've been screwed on a 6105-8000 (still out the cash), almost screwed on a King Turtle and I was lucky to have paid with PayPal, a retro little 80s seiko 5 showed up DOA and then yesterday a Baby Monaco from fleabay showed up drastically misrepresented.

THIS 6309-7049 had its own journey of 8 months and two watchmakers to JUST install the sapphire crystal and swap the tube. That said, it's now one of the nicest 6309 turtles out there. Fresh service (last year from the watchmaker who did the crystal), Factory bezel with the best looking 1:1 aftermarket insert I could find-Nice and tight click function..no slop at all. I added the "S" Crown just because I liked it.. Case is really fantastic especially considering a 45 year old watch. Dial is all but flawless as well. some very light lume left on it... not much of course.

Will ship on 22mm CNS waffle. Nothing fantastic like most of her stuff but looks the part.

ALL ORIGINAL PARTS INCLUDED WITH THE SALE. (see pics.) There are a couple crowns and stems because once this one is gone, I hope not to need them again

Looking for $450.00 shipped.

Trades? HMMMMmmmmm....well... No Seiko. I'm just done

Super STARSTELLA deal. Kev is the man.

Bought a strap from Kevin, and done multiple previous deals with him. Great guy all around, great strap. Goes without saying, but deal with him in confidence. Thanks, Keith Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Great trade with STARSTELLA

I completed a trade with STARSTELLA and all was smooth and fast. This is not the first one and will not be the last. It is nice when you can do a trade with confidence and certainly and STARSTELLA being a WIS and a gentleman can certainly make that happen.

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
