I bought this Seiko 6309-6220 in a job lot of non runners it looked to be retro enough for my tastes. Getting it to run was a pain, it needed a click, ratchet wheel and an escape to bring it back to life. After cleaning and rebuilding it now is keeping exceptional time.  It still requires a new crystal but these are very rare to find so for now it will stay with the original.  I did however restore the case as you can see in the photos.  Case was really hard due to the complicated shape but I did a good job to bring it back to life. Hands still need reluming which I will eventually get around to doing sometime.
