Well, My Vintage Seiko 6309-72** is back!! Wow! It's keeping great time for now! My watchmaker knows me well! He left it as new! Polished it a bit, changed gaskets, and did a complete overhaul and changed some worn-out parts. Now it's brand new! and it still lumes!!! I decided not to buy the ORIG. Seiko strap. But I found something in my strap drawer that fitted perfectly! It's a Kenneth Cole Rubber strap. It makes the watch look more modern!!! but I wanna get a 24MM NATO for it for some times... But This combo ROCKS!!!!!! I'm very happy and satisfied with this purchase. I took some pics, so enjoy!!!! This one's not gonna leave my wrist in some time!!!!!

The watch sure looks great Gaby, congrats, and the combo with the rubber strap fits perfectly IMHO but as you know the watch is a killer on Nato/Zulu aswell and BTW the lug with is 22mm :-)

How much was the service cost? I am leaving my 6309-7290for service next week problobly as I am still waiting on my 6309-7040 and I do not want to be stuck with just the GMTIIC :-)

Thanks the info on the lugs! My service was $80.25 tax included. But It's actually $60. The watch had some parts worn out so they were replaced. Umm... You wouldn't have a 22mm Nato/Zulu laying around without use? hehehehe
