    The 777 is a rare example of a retro watch done right. However, to me, the extra mm in both thickness and length make it wear completely differently - the 6309 just sneaks in on the acceptable side of large and flat. The 77* family also appears to have a cast, shiny bezel with a very light spring versus a milled bezel with a satisfying click ball on the 6309. The 77* family also suffers from modern Seiko's QC problems. Q: How do you spot a fake Seiko? A: The bezel, dial and rehaut all line up. But. Good luck buying a decent, unmolested 6309. Minefield!

  • @markcreighton3733

    My 144 is a screw cap rather than a slip cap- purchased at the Charlotte MB Boutique. I didn’t think this model ever came in a slip cap. How unusual : 144, 145, 146 and 149 are all screw caps.

      @@paulasmith3577 if you bought it from the boutique, they will service it for free within a year. Otherwise you can pay for it. If that is not what you want, try cleaning it just with water. If it were cartridge type then you can use a little bit of detergent because there is no grease applied but for the piston type like 149, you might wanna just use water.

    It is not a snowflake on the top of the cap of the MB fountain pens (and the MB trademark symbol) but a symbol that represents the snow cap on the summit of Mont Blanc mountain, Europe's highest mountain, located in the French Alps. And the 4810 engraved on the nib represents the height (in meters) of Mont Blanc mountain.

    I remember wearing my 6309-7040 (Turtle) in the 1980s during the height of the Quartz Crisis/Craze, thinking that this is just the best watch design ever. Perfect legibility, perfect comfort, perfect complications, perfect toughness, and perfect durability. (Pause to check wrist) Yep, it still is.
