Dear Comrades,


Diminishing my entire collection continues . My loss is your gain.


You have three (3) Vintage Saeiko Auto Divers to choose from. One of these four watches, the one which is not going to be sold, is spoken for a very valuable, hard working and studying student forum member of ours. It is going to be sent to him as his graduation gift. So, you are, in fact, giving me a hand for the shipping cost by buying my watches. For good cause!

All fotos (Except the lume shots) were taken on Wednesday, 25.07.2012 in the afternoon in Vancouver Harbour, B.C., Canada.


* 1 - This unique Camouflage 6309 – 729A was created by Mr. Loy Albelda who put his invention camouflage dial and had it serviced. I was not satisfied with the accuracy and brought it to my Japanese watchmaker here in North Vancouver, B.C., Canada. I picked it up 1.5 weeks ago (Friday).

The second servicing and accuracy regulation cost me an extra $207 CAD. (Invoice is included) I set the time via my atomic time signals on my cell phone at around 0045, half hour ago. So far it never missed a beat!

Another interesting fact is besides the eye catching lume on the dial (Hour markers), the coated bezel insert also has a very nice and all night long lasting lume, and at night these two sets of lume has a hypnotizing effect! I tried my best to capture the lume as well.

The domed AR coated sapphire crystal was purchased from Yobokies 3.5 months ago; and entire case and case back are flawless!!!

729A comes with a brand new Bond style black - matching green Nato strap.

It was manufactured in July, 1984.

I am asking $425 CAD including everything in Canada. Outside Canada, shipping and PP are extra. I ship my watches world wide.

* 2 - I have another military modded 6309 - 7040 which went through exact same process: Domed sapphire AR coated crystal from Yobokies, was magically put together by Mr. Albelda in Philippines, same style lume on the dial and insert(Notice the numbers on the dial lumed for a very clear read out at night!), and serviced.

This military mod is gaining 2-3 seconds a day, a very good accuracy! And this was produced in May, 1984.

The case and caseback have very tiny hair lines, nothing major. A minor polishing touch up will make this timepiece look like new very easily which you won't even need it, for sure!

It comes with a matching new 2 ring Zulu strap.

* 3 - This Bead Blasted 6309 – 729A was serviced, and has a refurbished Suwa dial with vintage looking fresh lume by Mr. Albelda in Philippines. It is losing some time on the wrist. Putting it on its case back at night should compensate the time lost. But if it still bothers you, a one hour accuracy regulation at your watchmaker will solve this minor issue.

Its bead blasted case is gorgeous. There is a very small pitting on the back of the case, behind 0100 lug. There are some minor marks on the 0900 side which were already covered by bead blasting, but if you stare at it, you will see them, nothing major.


This awesome timepiece was manufactured in 11.1977! Losing 1 second a day!!! Incredible accuracy, indeed.

I am asking $400 CAD shipped in Canada. Outside Canada, shipping and PP are extra. I ship my watches world wide. The price is firm.




* 4 - And this last one is all original 6309 – 7040. I attached my Pam PR’s 24 mm custom made leather strap. It is thick and very comfy. It gives a formal look to the watch!

I purchased from a forum moderator on another forum, then I got it serviced by Mr. Albelda in Philippines, then I got it serviced by my Japanese watchmaker here in North Vancouver, Canada. He also performed an excellent service which also cost me a fortune but it is worth.

The original Suwa dial is flawless, no patina on the dial and hands! Regular minimal hair lines here and there. Lume is not as strong as a brand new watch, of course.

It was manufactured in 06.1980. Its accuracy, after the Japanese watchmaker regulated and serviced, is very good. Gaining a few secs a day.

The case is in pristine condition.

I am asking $500 CAD including everything when shipped in Canada. Outside Canada, shipping and PP are extra. I ship my watches world wide. The price is firm.
