A friend sent me his "nice" 6309 to be TST'd, looks good and will look even better TST'd 
This is what i found when it was stripped:
Apart from that no real problems
and the strap it came on was ok 
Any guesses where this was bought from has a serviced watch ?
Guys continue to buy the bargain and this is what they often get.





This is what i found when it was stripped:
- Case back corrosion on sealing face.
- Movement ring missing spring and rusty.
- Movement signs of rust.
- Stem had the rest missing.
- Bezel came off very easy.
- After market crystal retaining ring.
- Case damage/corrosion one of the worst I have seen.
- Note were the case has been peened over so that the bezel stays in place.
- Crystal gasket in half and basically just a soggy piece of rubber.
- Shim under crystal gasket missing.
- Chapter ring incorect and just held in place with glue.
