That’s lovely! It’s beautiful when you have a nice dial hidden under a murky crystal.

Sometimes it's just little things like a new crystal and a case cleaning. The movements are often still pristine under all the scratches and DNA.
I've had a watch or two that I acquired just to have the movement for spare parts and they ended up being lovely examples.

Beautiful indeed. Way to bring it back to life. Did they need to replace any movement parts to get it working, or was it just a cleaning and oiling that brought it back?

Yep, A few parts needed, Escape wheel, Chronograph bridge jewel, Gaskets, Crystal and some Love, I couldn't pass this one up, Nice dial and hands do it for me. 100% authentic Seiko Joy 7dfe79adc2f0 |

That's a Beauty David!
I've got a few of these projects waiting in the wings but I just haven't had the time to address them.

Great looking watch. Congrats on a great result.
My next door neighbor (who since moved away) had one. He loved the watch but must have gotten it wet and put it in a drawer. Went Rolex.
I told him about Spencer and he sent the watch but sadly, it was too far gone.
I really like the look of this model.

Thanks, I can't get it off my wrist, 4 days now  That is one 6139 that I would wear. I have sold both of the ones I had, including Swedefreak's Great White. |
