Seiko 6139-6005 "Pogue", gold, super condition, all original, sweet.
This is an all-original 6139 chronograph, from March 1976. Complete, ready to go, wear-ready. This was a one-owner watch before me, and the original owner was pretty good with his things.
This watch is all original, and original to itself.
Fully and completely serviced here by me in March 2022.
Dial is excellent, essentially perfect. Color is the light gold of the earlier models, with even tone across the dial and subdial (early light gold dials often had a light band around the subdial)
All lume is original, as you see it here. White, clean, original. There is a tiny black pinprick on the :05 marker. There are tiny patches of haze on top of some of the mirrored marker tops, but I can only see them with magnification.
Hour & minute hands - original including lume. Excellent condition.
Chronograph hands - original to this watch. Excellent condition.
Indicator ring is slightly faded. Turns as it should with the crown.
Movement - 6139B, fully serviced & upgraded with arbor jewels in March.
Case Material - Stainless Steel. All case finishes are original, everything. Front, back, sides, top, caseback. It saw a working life, but no abuse.
Bezel is beautiful and nearly unmarked. Blue is a slightly lighter cornflower blue, unusual to see. Absolutely original Type II insert with the :60 hash mark which is correct for a later model like this one.
Crystal is the original Type I “flat”. It has a few marks, light / short.
Case fully serviced with new seals installed in a fully cleaned everything else.
Caseback text is clean and original. Minor marks, no tool marks.
Bracelet is the original “taper H-link”, at full length. Will fit 7.75”. Endlinks are NOS replacements.
