Recently came into a 6309 diver (now I have to waitfor it to arrive!). I want to make sure I get the gaskets replaced and the case polished up. Are the gaskets hard to find forthis discontinued model? Many people say they won't immerse these in water, is that because they have become collectables or is it because that the gaskets forthese are close but not quite the right fit?
I'd like to be able to take it snokeling and maybe even diving (if I get around to it!). Are there any thoughts on this subject and on restoration of this beauty?
Thanks in advance forany ideas and advice.
-Kev
