Turned out great! Real solid watch and it must feel great to know it's just as it was meant to be when it left the factory.
Personally I have tested a LOT of different straps and always falls back to the flat vent z-22.

Rene, I can tolerate the straight vent Z-22, but Yobokies waffle is without a doubt the most comfortable rubber strap I've ever worn on a 6309-704x. The other one that works for me is an Oyster bracelet. Here's a pic of the waffle.  And the Oyster....  |

Fortunately the 6309s accomodate a large variety of bands/straps so finding one is never a problem! 7dfe79adc2f0 What however I would like to know is this.......... I know everything on the watch is OEM but I have been told by another member that the crystal is not stock/original!? How can I verify this because I have no clue? TIA This is the best pic I could get of the crystal............looks original to me!?  |

The crystal does not have the frosted bevel, it's a replacement.
