Soxa Modded 6309

My Soxa Modded 6309 arrived via USPS this morning. Had nearly zero time today and only opened the box a few minutes ago.

It's a modded Seiko 6309-7040, normal wear but in really nice shape for a vintage diver. It came on a NATO strap with lowlight rings (Maratac). Included with it is a super oyster SS bracelet with 6309 & 007 hollow end links and 4 hole clasp. It arrived with a Pepsi bezel installed but with a black countdown bezel as an additional item. Mods include: sapphire crystal, "Doxa" style dial, new chapter ring, new hands (great lume!). 120 click bi-directional rotating bezel and has the day/date.

I haven't time to crack the case open. The Fat Spring bars were with it (they were on with the NATO) but not appropriate spring bars for use with the Super Oyster (thinner but with the Fat Spring bars size tips). I'll open it up tomorrow to look at the movement. So far, so good.

sweet Seiko! Awesome!

Looks great, Robert!!

Thanks guys. It's the watch that I'm most likely to be trying my hand at modding myself. Good start though, as after wearing it for 2 hours, it ran through the night.

Great looking soxa, doc! You're going to mod it further? What'd you have in mind?

Congrats and enjoy, it's a beaut!

That case is so great.

The lume is not so great so I may be looking at a new dial and hands. Might not, depends on how adventurous I am as I'd like to give the swap a go myself. If not, I have several sources for the work but I've been wanting to get into doing some of this myself and you guys have shamed me with the mods you are posting.

Congrats Doc. That Doxa dial gives it a great look. I can't wait to see some more photos.
