I've wanted a 6309-7040 for about as long as I've been collecting Seikos, but I never saw the "right" auction or sale. The prices on the 6309s (particularly early Suwa-dialed models) seemed to spike in price and I frankly don't know enough on first sight to know what's original and what's aftermarket.
A few nights ago, an auction came up that seemed a little glitchy. The buttons didn't appear to make a bid or buy it now. I kept refreshing and after about ten minutes, the auction was working properly and I won! I'm particularly glad it's a bit of a project, but it's a good foundation nonetheless.
I'm not sure whether the hands will be salvageable, but I'll see what I can do.
