Hi John , I would very happy to respond to your question. First of all you are doing great and you need to keep up your innovative
mindset so you will achieve what you set out to do and accomplish them. Yes this if a Fabulous watch I know possess, but it was
very un-expected that I would come across it, especially in the Ocean. And also still have it to be my very own ad cherished.
Now toward your asking Sir:
I have found that the 6309A movement is a very dependable one since using them. But if you recall they have to be shaken then
used. The other movements that just run automatically, they just constantly tick away and do not need to be reset all the
time. For me if I would be doing some thing like this I would just use a constant running movement, maintain it, cherish it,
and it should be fine and last a long time.
I think it would be up to the person that would be using it to make the best decision about this one part of the watch. On
some where else on the watch then I could recommend or suggest some thing to use along with the making of this special
one or just another watch. Maybe you should ask more Veteran watch people about this certain part in your doing.
But please do not think I would be moving aside to any recommendation. I am very glad that you had considered a
recommendation from me toward this matter or asking for a suggestion toward it.
I think you should look at the part of how you will be using it and if the re-setting part every time you use it would not
get in your way. But I like the 6306A movement very much and do not see anything wrong with re-doing it on every use.
It has been a powerful Movement for such a long time that many have still love using it, and will continue too.
Do not be afraid of asking questions or recommendation to anything that you decide to do. This would be because you will
be able to obtain vast amount of knowledge to a lot of things yet not know. So towards what you have decide to do on this
project, well more of an Honorable part to a Man that many have come to know and love, you will be doing a fine work
because those that have known him can contribute to you about a lot of things Swede Freak has done. They know a lot
about his character and his creative mind set and ideas and what he has developed.
This watch of commemoration will be a great tribute to the Man Jonathan " Swede Freak " Koch from what you are now
developing.
Continue on John and make your best efforts and continue to develop more always. I wish my best to you and your doing
My Friend.
Aloha John
