Just got a couple interesting watch's from my Friend here.

Aloha ,
Well a few years ago a ...Seiko 6309-7040 watch showed up and many discussed it and thought it was a ... ( RARE WATCH )
and the discussions were quite long about it.
Well last night my ...Swap Meet Friend ...came by and gave me a zip lock bag with some watch's partially apart.
   Well this morning I got some of it cleaned up and found that there was .....2 - 7040's and ... 3 - 7290's and some
others apart.
  The interesting part was that.... There was a .... 6349 Movement in one off the 7040's and two in the ... 7290's.
There was some other Seiko parts in the bag also that can be used for parts for these.
  There was a plastic container also in the bag with a lot of loose ... 6309 Movement parts also.
He tells me he saw the bag and told himself that I might be able to use the parts so he asked the women
how much she wanted and she sold the bag to him for .... $10.00 cash. 

  One .... 7040 had a quite good Dial yet so it is usable too I would say hopefully. The ... 7290's did not have Dials
but old hands in them so the parts will be just find. A lot of the parts have cleaned up real good so far.
I would post some pictures but Flicker still have me locked yet....  .
Anyway I am still in the hunt for a Good 7290 Dial to complete a watch I have here for some time now.
Well the Swap Meet turned out good again so I have some work to time today.... .
Thanks for reading this ,
Louis

<abbr>Louis,
Great acquisition!

Just be careful when using parts from the 6349 movements as some do not exchange with the 6309. Check parts lists and if part numbers are different don't swap them.

Agreed! Every time I read one of these posts I initially feel a little envy, then think to myself Nah, it’s King Louis, he deserves it!

Aloha and good afternoon from Hawaii.
It is 2:35 here now.
Thanks for the replies back and yes I always double and triple check parts always to be sure
they are the right ones.
Well all done cleaning now and turned pout real nice too. The 7040 case is in good condition
and not all polished out and the others are nice also.
   Now to continue to find a ...good 7290 Dial then get mine done.
Aloha 
Louis
