I'm not a fan of gold watches, but that is beautiful.

Thanks for posting that chinathumbsup.gif I never get tired of reading how the Japanese(Seiko in particular) destroyed the myth of Swiss superiority in watch making. These articles also show that Seiko is capable of producing watches that are as artistically and aesthetically superior to all but the really top tier Swiss makers.

I'm not a fan of gold watches, but that is beautiful. I'm not either but for some reason the 6139 just looks natural in gold. I have both a 6139-6012 and -6015 that were gifted to me by and old SCWF friend, John Reineke... and since I wasn't ready to tackle the chrono movements yet; Lew B. took them in and restored them to complete working order. He even replaced one of the cases which was badly corroded around the pushers. I take these out at least once a month and wear them for at least half a day just to admire them and keep their juices flowing smiley-dance001
