In my service days hacking was a must.
On many occasions while out on manouvers with the 1st batallion of the Kings own Booziliers we encoutered many wayward publicans calling time several seconds too early. Might not sound much to you guys, but thats the difference between another pint and a Whisky chaser, and the chance to join the SBS. (Slur Belch and Stagger) |

Its not about worn bushings on the second and third wheel's , Diafix reduces the side thrust friction allowing better positional accuracy because the pinnion runs on the cap stone.
The 6349 also has a jewel bearing at the lower mainspring arbour port which helps reduce side thust at the mainplate arbour port. In short you should get better accuracy from a 6349 and less tendancy for the arbour ports to wear oval. All subject to the correct servicing regime of course. |

Beware of the Mumbai specials. Many are a 6309 with a 6349 marked bridge. 1 of the 5 I purchased was actually a 6349. I think I got another real one from Ramon but got a few duds there too.

Yep, they are easy to spot. The bridges are shiny and new looking with etched text instead of stamped text.

[QUOTE=Spilled Fluids;2805999]It is a direct swap. The only thing that you might have to take care of is the day/date wheels because of a different crown position that the 6349 watch had.
Just a warning if you intend to start swapping other parts...don't because there are more and different types of jewels in the 6349 as well as different shaped/length staff pinions. do you know if the mainsprings are interchangeable? |

6309 and 6349 have the same part numbers for the mainspring and arbour, so yes they interchange. In fact i think i used a 6309 M/S & barell on this 6349 i built last year. WP_20170618_20_11_20_Pro.jpg |
