So just had my second 6309 Cushion diver arrive. Brought it of seikoholic for a fantastic price (thanks Spencer) & I was going to give it to my daughter who kept "Borrowing" mine. However things change, especially the tastes of teenage girls & I decided that I would use it for a donor for an other Seiko Based Project I have coming up. Well, that was before I slapped it on a rubber strap & it spent a day wearing it. Now I'm wavering. Shall I just get this "new" one serviced & look for another one to be a donor? Or will the same thing happen then as well! Should I HTFU and just rip this one apart for the project? What do I do guys? How do you "MOD'er's" do it! Please guys help a brother out................... My two 6309's. On the left my 6309 from Ed over in the Philippines. Just got back from a servise where it passed a 110m (Wet) pressure test. On the right my 6309 from seikoholic. And yes, I know they have some AM action going on. Don't they look so happy together?

A 6309 is probably one of those things that we shouldn't get rid of. No sooner had I sold that to you when I came across a beautifully patina'd original dial & hands, and found an equally sabi'd insert. I could have made it into a kick-ass example... oh well. The search begins for a complete donor 6309-704x.
Enjoy it!

Agree with Spencer. Keep it as is or get the patina'd dial from him ;-)

Yes, fix'em both!
I have given two restored 6309's (with AM parts) away to good WIS friends in the past couple of years to introduce them to vintage Seiko's - both of them absolutely love them and I enjoy seeing them wear them!
