No wabi on this one but I do see some of my own DNA on the bracelet.....time for a toothbrush, soap & water!  |

The least wabi'd of my 6309s, but give me time. I've only had it a couple of days.  By the way, it seems to be stuck to my wrist.  |

I did a 7S26-0020 with Mk. II dial and hands a while back.  I'm still running-in my 7S26-0028.  Don't forget to floss! Myles |

OK, I don't have much - but these are the "prominent" examples in my collection: 1. ca. 1949 thru mid '50s Citizen ladder-dial F-Type (but a later generation, not the 1st type introduced in 1931 & revised in 1948):  And, here is the "2nd revision" movement variation (starting 1949 according to my sources) of the F-type, seen thru the factory expo-back:  2. Citizen cal. 5700 in the Rally Custom style case. Note the bezel wear (outer edge):  3. Seiko 2nd Generation hand-wind Grand Seiko with cal. 430 movement in a 5722 numbering-style case (the 430 was re-titled as a 5722A in mid '60s, but the 2 calibres are identical in design/architecture):   and the movement inside:  4. Seiko 6218-8950. The close-up dial shot makes it look MUCH worse than it really is in person at life-size:  This is one model of the 6218 with the conventional Day+Date display @ 3 o'clock rather than the typical (for 6218's) split window display. This picture of it shows it off in a little more flattering way:  |

Myles Thanks Myles but I can`t take credit for this mod. I bought it many years ago from JP on the old SCWF. It was his vision to incorporate the MkII hands & dial. All I did was send it to Duarte at NeWW for a light beadblasting to match the watchadoo bracelet. |

Changed to a watch with zero wabi. Thanks to Seikola's generosity, the Slava lives.  |

Wait, what? What is that? What? Where'd you get that? It's an SKX173 that I picked up on Amazon. I held off for years, thinking it was silly to buy one as I already own an SKX007. |

How in the world have I never looked closely at one of these? They've got a 6309 sweep hand? What's wrong with me? Was there a glitch in the Matrix? I swear I've never seen that they're made in this configuration before. |

I swear I've never seen that they're made in this configuration before. The SKX173 is the modern day equivalent of the 6309-729X. I'm pretty sure they're only sold in the NA market. |
