Hello again,


I got as chance to "pounce" on a vintage Seiko from Mr. Mike Mounce, and although the wallet was thin, I could not pass it up. :undecided:

As a new vintage collector I have a question for you experts at the end, please help! :sleep:

Okay, here is the box that arrived.

Tearing through the tape and cardboard, there is a "re-purposed" padded mailer seen next. (I guess Mike buys a lot of stuff from the William S. McCaw Co. here in Ohio!) :rolleyes:

Inside the padded mailer, a bundle of bubble wrap, and I see a "tail" of something watch-like! (The excitement builds!) :D

Unrolling the bubble wrap a bit, it is definitely a watch with an old Seiko rubber strap, but which watch will it be!?! :confused:

Okay, another "Sword"! :grin:

This one is a 6306-7001, in very good condition, not quite as good as the 6309's and 6105 Mike sold me, but still in fine condition for punter like me! :)

What? You'd like a closer look? Let's see if I can do that...

Is this better? ;) It looks to be in pretty good shape, don't you think? I should have taken a case-back picture, as that tells you vintage guys a lot. Sorry!

And you know what? I felt so bad about that, I broke out the gear and took a case-back shot as I was writing this up, just for you! Can you feel the love!? :p

That's the end of the show, but here is my question:


What is a 6306-7001? :eek:hmy:


I know I could Google it or check Wikipedia, but I'd rather talk with you guys!! :grin: I am guessing it precedes that 6309 series, and the case looks the same to my untrained eye, so is it just the movement? Better, worse, or just different?


Thanks for looking!

well from what i understand that it has a hacking feature ...worth a bit more than the 6309's and i personally have only seen a few for sale in many years..so i am not sure how long they were made...but i think the production run was much less...

Great catch, and excellent shape it is in.

I always love the box opening fotos a lot.

I had a 6306-7001 and sold it. Now I have a 6306-7000 to keep forever. It feels very different, indeed.

Wear it well.
