Hey all,

I'm new to this forum.

I have just purchased a seiko diver 6309 - 7049 in really nice condition. This particular diver has a nice bright red dial, rubber band, black bezel and the usual cushion case that the watches are known for.

What i would like to no is this red dial rare? i have googled and can only find these divers with a black dial. Anyone seen a red or own one?

All help appreciated.

Well Pics are mostly appreciated... But I've seen a lot of 6309-7049. I myself wore one for about 2 yrs and a half and now I'm wearing a bit newer 6309-7290.

I know there are heaps of 6309 - 7049. This model is not at all rare. but have you seen one with the red face?

And pics will come once i pick it up.

Do you mean red, not orange?

I'm quite sure there where no red-diald ones made.

Pics will tell

without pics!

I wasnt able to post pics because i only received the watch this moring. Pics will be online tomoz.

Just a weird question. I googled the serial from the back of the watch 771465 and there is another watch currenty on US ebay with the same serial. Now i thought serials where unique? am i right? or will there be multiple serials for the one watch?

The reason im curious, this watch
1. has a Bright red dial with all correct markings from the era 1977
2. it looks brand new, not a mark.
3. why would someone try and copy a $150 watch?

wazza2282 · 29 March 2010, 05:01 PM

here is a link to the watch when i bought it

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....=STRK:MEWAX:IT

here is a link for the other 6309 with the same number on the back
http://cgi.ebay.com.my/6309-7049-MEN...item27ae3d5057

Anyone have any idea why this could be?

And does anyone know if they make a replica 6309?

wazza2282 · 30 March 2010, 09:19 AM

Come on guys, i'm contemplating sending it back.

has anyone seen fake cushion case divers? If the watch is real it has been restored which is ok, but i want to use it as a diver and dont want it rusting out. The only thing that stumbles me is 2 seiko's of the same design having the same serial? anyone have any input??

Also, is the 6309 movment smooth? i have a new diver which is smooth but this 6309 you can hear the movement spin when you move it. this normal?

Thanks in advanced

No No... It's an AFtermarket dial... A frankenwatch...

wazza2282 · 30 March 2010, 09:58 AM

i know the dial is aftermarket but can you explain the same serial between the 2? could the one i didnt buy be a copy of mine? but the insides look like the real deal?

datejust1 · 30 March 2010, 10:02 AM

Well the movement is real... my friend.. 6309 - 7049 are the reference numbers. 6309 is the movement. 7049 is the reference...

wazza2282 · 30 March 2010, 10:54 AM

The serial is the number on the case back 771465 the numbers on the dial are the correct numbers but 2 watches having the same number on the case back, is it possible?
