Looks good! I just finished completely re-building a 6309. New dial, hands, chapter ring, bezel insert, sapphire and display back. I call it the Orange Crush. Sorry for the crappy pic! Attachment: mod 020.jpg (Downloaded 44 times) Last edited on Mon Jul 27th, 2009 09:22 pm by romeo-1 |

Continued thanks for the kind words and congrats (Stormin, Oldecrow, and Shady). Stormin - Sounds like you have developed a little sapphire snobbery too...nothing wrong with that though...like you, I really find a scratched crystal on a timepiece very distracting as it interferes with being able to fully enjoy the nice dial work on great looking pieces. The sapphire on this one pushed me off the fence on buying this Sumo, and I will probably try to buy any future Seiko's with sapphire if possible. Oldecrow - WOW! Spectacular Lume shot of your nicely modded SUMO! Love the plonguer style hands on yours and the Lume on those hands look like a perfect match to the color and intensity of the Seiko Lumibrite dial...Are those hands original Seiko hands with Lumibrite from another model? Looks fantastic!

Romeo - Really like what you did with your Vintage 6309 rebuild!!! Big thumbs up !!! My purchase of this modified Seiko Sumo has opened my eyes to some of the great things that people are doing with modified Vintage Seikos in the 6105-6309-8000 series. I like!!!!

:) New to the forum, Hello. Just curious about the mod on your Sumo. Was it done by the Seiko when it was made or did you purchase it from someone who modded it? Thanks. Love the pics and would love to have one!

Hello Gammetrunner...first, a warm welcome to 3T and the forums!!! You will definitely like it here...feel free to jump right in. To answer your question, I purchased it from someone who had worked with their local watchmaker and modded it to the configuration you see here with the sapphire crystal and type-s seconds hand. The Sumo (modded or unmodded) is a solid and very nicely machined piece...I still very much enjoy mine!!!

Thanks for the response. I'm a long time Seiko lover especially the dive watches them being my favorite. I want to purchase another and the Sumo has just recently caught my eye. I love reading tthe forums and seeing the pics of peoples time pieces. I have been reading for several years now and I find peoples information and experiences to be invaluable. Thanks again.
