That will all be coming soon Brian 

Good to hear, i'm particularly interested in the day wheel swap too.
Will another special wheel remover tool be needed? or basic tools are good?

Thanks John, great work here and sharing your wisdom.


I'm following and haven't had too much time to do all.


Cheers, Dave.

Nothing special Dave just a screw driver (Thanks)

translation: i agree with last two posts, and am happy to know no other tools will be needed. the third face is my favorite and here i am using it to mean I'm losing my ever lovin' mind with excitement and anticipation. the last one is LoL at this post

Here's the dial...



It looks good to me.


One question about the movement retaining ring spring...



As seen above, the spring does not go fully around the circumference of the ring.  I'm assuming that's what makes it a spring, however I got paranoid that it was broken.  Which is it?

[TheTigerUK]

Beautiful dial  the retaining ring does not go the full circumference of the case back there is a "gap".

Thank you for your compliments on the dial.


What about those hands though?  What can be done for them?  If not do I replace them?  Or does their worn charm add to the character of the watch?

I think the hands are pretty good but you could always clean them up and relume them ?

i don't know where else in project to put this but here it goes
 
so i got this 6309 dress watch the other day (thanks Dan) and the movement was beautiful and for 1.5 days it kept great time. but then one day i wore it and about half way through the day it started fogging up. so i took it off set it on the dashboard hours later still running and not fogged up i put it back on. then it fogged back up, it was late so i went to bed. in the morning still running i took the movement out and let it sit with silica in one of the plastic containers i have for movements, also on movement holder.
 
finally the PROBLEM --- now it won't run for more than 2 minutes without vigorous shaking.

[se7en8n9ne]

ok so now i took the movement out of the case it works fine. any ideas anyone? i'd love to know if there's away to find out if the watch or the case are magnetized before spending money on demagnetizer. i know that's being a cheap-wod but ....
i'd appreciate any help

Hi Brian,
             so the DIY watch repair/mod going well !!!

Sorry couldent help it it is really hard to say from a distance, but it could be it needs a service, could be the hands catching the crystal, could be something to do with the keyless works, it could be some thing that i havent got the slightest idea causing it great fun isent it ? see why we appreciate our pro's so much

[se7en8n9ne]

i took it back out of the case for no real reason and right away it started working again. put it back together around noon and its been working ever since.

Any one know where I can find a casing spring? My spring is about 35 percent rust 65 steel. Paulynn Collections on the bay has a  after market 6309 movement holder version with no spring. Before buying that I want to see if there is any NOS lying around.
