Expert Needed: 6309 Dial Original or A/M




This 6309 hands and dial looks original or AM?





Is the bevel at the date window, beveled enough?





The inscription below read "6309-704X T (suwa symbol) MOV'T JAPAN CASED HONG KONG"





Sorry my camera( or my skill) cant get a good picture on that.

dial seems ok, but if you have more photos showing the 12 and 6 hour markers, as that's where you can tell the most difference. But just judging from the patina, they seems to match.



And we noticed from earlier posts, hong kong dials don't have a bevelled date window, so we cannot use that to verify. Kanji date wheel is a pretty common mod, my 6309 comes with a kanji date wheel too, guess it's modded.

the bevelled part is not as 'angled' as a normal 6309



urs looked ok



as for the hands, it looks original but not sure if its original to a 6309



the endtip of the secondhand is not 'pointed' so it's an original secondhand
