Seiko 6309-729A Diver - freshly refurbished

I'm clearing out many of the pieces that were projects, to make space for new projects. This watch has been running for a few weeks now without issue and have had actual wrist time to make sure there's no power reserve issues. I also attach timegrapher results taken on the day that I post this. What you get is a watch that's been completely rebuilt from the ground up. In some cases there's a video made for the piece as well (look for thebeardedwatchmaker on youtube), but essentially all worn or broken parts were replaced so you end up with a reliable piece that should give you many years of trouble free service.

What I cannot do is offer any kind of water proof guarantee. Of course, I've replaced all gaskets and seals to make sure they're dust proof and you'll be ok if you wash your hands and water gets onto it. I certainly won't go swimming or showering with it though. The reason for me stating this is that in many cases previous rust damage has compromised the mating surfaces of the seals and gaskets and this cannot be fixed without replacing the case or case back. It is what it is, that being said I don't even go swimming with my brand new watches so it's a non issue for me - everyone has different expectations and I understand that as well.

This specific piece has had the dial, crystal, hands and bezel insert replaced with aftermarket parts.
