*********** SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD ****************
This 6139-6005 from December 1975 is 100% original to itself. The sweep hand looks to be repainted.
The bracelet is original to the watch and fits up to 7 1/2 inch, the end links like so many were all bent up so I subbed in these wonderful Uncle Seiko solid end links. So while the end links are not original there are an upgrade, if you prefer I can swap back in OEM end links (not beat up).The watch keeps good time. It is a strong runner. See timegrapher.
Full power reserve and all quick sets work. The chrono resets are a bit off of perfect. Note the resets are slow (you can see the hands moving as opposed to resetting so fast it's a blink) but consistent and I've seen slower.
The chrono runs great, the minute subdial clicks over crisply. The inner yellow ring is original with all the ink markings plus the all-important pip at 60, the color is faded some but still yellow.
The dial: OEM with good original lume no rot, quite appealing, short duration night time lume of course. The gold dial shows age but not the usual rusty way, more like some ancient fingerprints as you can see. From some angles it is not noticeable, others more so. Also oddly in the the subdial the "1" in the number "10" and again the "2" and the "0" in "20" are rubbed off. I have no idea why or how but must call that out specifically.
The case has sharp edges and original finish, never brushed nor polished, but it has 3 marks around 7-8 o'clock as shown
Original tachy ring in very nice condition.
OEM crystal flat style as it should be, some edge nicks consistent with the look.
Price is SOLD
