So I've been on the hunt to acquire a couple of nice examples of 6139 chronographs. The 2 that I end up with are the 6139-6005 resist dial Pogue & 6139-6009 Resist dial/notched case In the process of putting acquiring the parts I needed - Bracelets
- Nice yellow inner chapter ring/ rotating ring
- Nice Black inner rotating ring
- nicer case for 6005 Pogue
I ended up with 4 6139's all with working movements and good parts. Think I'm going to end up with 3 nice 6139's Latest arrival... The picture of this one was terrible, I ended up with a real beauty and that inner rotating ring is NICE! 
Here they are for a group Sushi shot 
Guess you can pretty much figure out the swapping sequences.

Nice pieces! I really like the look of the faded inner ring, on the yellow dial.

The Pogues are like freakin' potato chips...nobody can have JUST ONE. Ask me how I know... -First, you simply want a 'wearable' blue one or a yellow one.
-Then, you need to have a 'wearable' blue one AND a 'wearable' yellow one.
-Next, you want a "notched" case in addition to a "non-notched" case.
-Soon, you understand what is meant by "one-piece" and "two-piece" hands, and you need one of each.
-After that, you want a "Proof", a "Resist", and one with no water resistance indication.
-Then you want two of each with the "fishbone" bracelet and two with the "oyster" bracelet.
-Now, you want two of each on the "flared" and "non-flared" bracelets.
-You realize the first one you bought from the Philippines is a piece of shiiit! 
-Now, you want a damned Speed-Timer, but they are hard to find.
-Days later, you realize you need a "Proof", a "Resist", and a no indication...in each color.
-Okay, you got a Speed-Timer, but now want one on it's original bracelet.
-Fuuuck...there is a SILVER ONE, too?? 
-Before long, you have your heart set on a "true Pogue".
-After awhile, you start hoarding NOS parts.
-'Wearable' isn't good enough anymore, and you now want five 'nice' ones...in both blue and yellow.
-Now, you feel the need to get a scruffy one to wear 'as a beater'.
-OMG, there is a 6139-6000 Speed-Timer with a turquoise dial??
-Wait, what is a "chiclet bracelet"?
-"I wonder if I can find one from each year they were made...1969-1979?"
-You bought a scruffy blue one to wear as a beater...now you need a scruffy YELLOW one to wear as a beater.
-"I wonder if I can find one of each COLOR from every year they were made...1969-1979?"
-Finally, you realize you have 20 of the damned things in your collection, and additional 20 more in parts, and have gone completely insane!

Catkicker I gotta say I'd vote strongly for the yellow rotating ring onto the gold dial Pogue - which I think is what you intend. Great collection. Now beware the CobraJet phenomenon. Extend your Home Equity Line of Credit now before it's too late.  |

Haha . . . . . so you and Tom are brothers? LOLOLOLOL!!! I know Bob, sometimes I open my "spares and junk" drawer of my desk and marvel at how much work (and decision-making) I need to do!! I trot them all out, look at them, decide "this one needs pushers and the bezel insert changed out", and "that one has a nice crystal..." it nearly induces ADD into my 47 year old brain!!! I carefully put everything back in the drawer and go upstairs for a drink.... Dan |
