This Seiko was a project that spanned 3 months and was restored by my own hands completely for a giveaway to one of my subscribers on my YouTube channel. I filmed every part of the restoration that I could to show what can be done with a bit of knowledge and desire. This 6309-8500 was in a very poor state and dating from 1981. even the bezel was broken. i bought it in a joblot (see photos) and they were all destined for parts. One became “rat watch ” which you can see on this page. When I looked at the 8500 the thought passed my mind that could I, should I? so I did. The lucky winner was AV Cuber from Belgium, a young man with a huge interest in watches which was very pleasing to me to know it was going to a home where it would be appreciated. You always run the risk of a giveaway going to someone who could just sell the watch for the money.
