I bought tonight a French Seiko advertising of e very unknown( for me ) interesting 6139-6032  Variation , it's strange because this model was exclusively for the Japan Domestic Market! Or it was a photo montage. If Someone has information, let me know. Thanks. For myself I'm going to investigate with some french watchmaker..... Bertrand FRENCH ADVERTISING FROM 1973  I found another one .... it's mine I bought around 2 years ago and I never be surprised by this pic ...Strange !  |

I love that these adds are promoting use in water. Even when they were new I wouldn't have deigned a 6139 suitable for watersports, 70m rating not withstanding.

Cheers, Brian Thank you Brian for the thread, very interesting. I thought it was French to because I didn't find any others add in other languages, the two are in French. I have many variation of 6139-600X/XX but I missed this one and I'm French so I absolutely must have it..... Thanks again and congratulations for your collection 👍👏👏👏 |

Bertrand, how wonderful! Congrats. After all my searching for all my Pogues, I am pretty convinced this is the rarest, even more than the Forward or the Teal. Nice to see that the hands on yours have faded to the same faintly lime green color as mine. Enjoy!

That is an amazing find Bertrand and with the advertisement too!

Variation , it's strange because this model was exclusively for the Japan Domestic Market!
