A few of the removable links are a little loose though, not sure if I'll be able to wear it.

I hope this is allowed...if not let me know. I saw this pop up today and sell at its BIN price pretty quickly. I was tempted to pull the trigger, but Iām really apprehensive on these for fear of getting ripped off. After it sold I was kicking myself. Just wondering if it looks legit?

Posting completed auctions is ok.
The idea is that if an auction is live, you could direct others to it and perhaps force the price up.

Dial/hands/chapter ring all look good. Relume or just decayed lume? Never sure about the bezel insert š

Looks good. The dial and hands may be originally from Seiko but I think they may have been on two different watches at one time. The soft grey colour of the lume on the hands nearly always matches the lume on the markers when they came on the same watch. That would mean it is still a genuine piece

Not sure what to look for on the poor man 62mas. Does this one look original? Thanks

That Poor Man looks good to me. Oxidation on the hands and dial, discolored lume, the finish and wear on the bezel all testify to its originality.

Another question for ya'll. 6309-729B Feelin pretty good about it just based on the caseback, but again a second opinion would be cool.

Currently on the 'bay: Someone asked me if he should bid on it. My take: Fake dial (thick print, wrong "A"s, corners of the date window). Has obviously had work done (red tip of second hand doesn't match the state of lume of the other hands). What do you think?

Has obviously had work done (red tip of second hand doesn't match the state of lume of the other hands). What do you think? That dial is AM. The Suwa symbol is wrong and the Seiko is not flat (Has rounded edges from the die press process). Hands look original but with the lume redone with flaky lume powder Some light polishing on case.
Would I buy it? At the right price but that would be a dream as most of these pandas are extortionately priced.

Well, it finished at 780,- EUR, so not really cheap, but not pristine original money either. Wouldn't buy it at this price, though.

Hi guys, I saw this Seiko 6139 on Instagram. The seller has disclosed the Chrono hands are not original. But how about the other parts? Is it worth $500 that he/she asked for? http://instagram.com/p/B3mIBPIg1j-

Is it worth $500 that he/she asked for? http://instagr.am/p/B3mIBPIg1j- Ironically looks as if he just sold a 6139-6031 that had the wrong chrono seconds and subdial wrong hands for it too. All he would have to have done was swap them with the watch you are asking about and they both would have been correct. $500 is a bit high for that one in my book but not crazy overpriced.
