SOLD: Seiko vintage diver 6309-7049
For Sale is my longtime collection of cushion case diver 6309-7049.
The -7049 marking means this watch was originally sold to North American market, as opposed to -7040 marking (Asian Market).
Condition is very good and clean, as you can see from the pictures.
All parts are original.
The watch has been recently overhauled and regulated by a local Seiko watchmaker in Jakarta.
After the service, the accuracy is somewhere between -4 to -7 secs/day in various positions. It's actually very good considering its age.
Production date: April 1982.
Watch is SOLD!!!
Enjoy more pics :D

Seiko Vintage Chronographs
Many years ago I was so obsessed with Seiko vintage chronographs that I used to vow myself I would collect all variants of Seiko auto chrono caliber 6138 and 6139.
Some believed that caliber 6139 is the first automatic column-wheel chronographs released in the market. Some other believed it was the El-Primero. I really couldn't care less. I love auto chronographs, that's all that matters!!!
During my encounters with Seiko cal 6138 and 6139, I was amazed by it's durability, considering they're auto chrono with more moving parts compared to non-chrono movements. However there is one common problem from these vintage auto chrono: STICKY CHRONO PUSHER(S)
I've sold all my 6139 dan 6138 collections. Unfortunately I did not document (photograph) some of my collections before selling them. Please pardon the old and poor picture quality.
...and some other 6138 and 6139 without any photographs, including Tokei Zara, Bullhead, UFO, etc...
