Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste

[WRXtranceformed]

So i wanted to do something cool / special for my brother for his last birthday in his 20s. I had the feeling that a "birth year" watch would do the trick. What i didn't know was my bro had really been looking at them and was gun shy because he was looking at rolexes that were $$.  

I did a lot of searching and won an auction with some last second bidding on a vintage Seiko 6309 diver from his birth year.  It had been restored with newer cosmetic parts but the movement and case / caseback were original,  and there are still some nice signs of aging on the hands and chapter ring. 




I swapped out the oem z22 rubber diver strap it came with for the OEM jubilee bracelet i replaced from my SKX007 project. The cases between this and that watch are very similar so it fit perfectly.  He's super stoked and now he has a watch that will age right along with him 

In other news my Rolex fund is just over 1/3rd funded!  Slowly but surely!
