Thanks. Very helpful. What would be your criteria for purchasing on line a Pogue, eg βproofβ of genuine parts, history of servicing and what was involved, nothing from India (or Phillipines ??!). FYI I could find any recently in Tokyo or Osaka, Japan π―π΅!! I view ebay right now as a minefield as far as the pogues as concerned. Too many faked pieces, some even with faked patina to throw you off. It really is all about research and educating yourself, looking at a 100 dials, handsets, minute details, till you are positive you can spot a fake. Every now and then you get lucky and find a gem that has a perfect dial under a scratched up crystal, then it's off to our resident gurus to make it last another few decades. Or buy from members here, where a fake wouldn't squeak by. Even Yahoo Japan (which used to be safe) is slowly being overwhelmed by 'augmented' 6139's It's all in the thrill of the hunt, really Rob Thanks again! Very helpful. As a newbie, how do I find Pogues for sale by members of this thread/Community. Apologies for the basic question! π

Meanwhile, do as much research as you can and keep hunting Rob
