Getting this one ready for a TST mod.. not sure about how I might do the hour markers though with this particular artwork on the dial... the artwork was originally designed for a NZ forum caseback..



Cheers

Looks great Tony , and will await its finishing. It looks original
in many parts of being a Diver watch, but TST it will look great.
Like that Dial scheme, good thing and development in that one.
Aloha Sir.

Not quite original for parts.. 6309-7040 case, 6309-729a caseback, aftemarket bezel insert...

So ripe for modification..

Weren't there some 6309 mods way back that had plain dials and the lume painted on the underside of the crystal? I wasn't a fan of them because it obstructed the view of the hands, but if done correctly, it could be ideal for your project because it'd leave the beautiful artwork on that dial untouched.

I quite like it as it is with no markers. The human brain is a remarkable thing and does not need them with the minute track and bezel. Part of the allure is no markers.

Mount white sticks or white rivet heads on the inner bezel at 1 - 12 postions. Won't interfere with the dial and will offer just enough contrast to distinguish the marker positions. Very nice watch.

Yes I do remember them.. but may just leave without any markers as am adjusting to it..
