Pogue day celebrations are well underway Down Under. What with the national soccer team qualifying or the World Cup, same sex marriage survey returning an overwhelming result and now Pogue day, it's been a pretty big week. Sorry your team wasn't good enough to play soccer on the big stage this time, USA 😃 That's great, now your soccer players can marry each other! (I just need some sort of catharsis) Well England's hockey players married each other, so why not!

That's a fantastic picture Jonas! I'd say pure gold. But there's silver and black/blue as well!

Aloha , Well I am like others I never had one but would wear one if I was to find one. I try for a couple but they went high price so ..... . Finding a parts one to start off I would get it done eventually though..... . NOTE: But like the saying is said here : I really did see ....... " THE REAL MACOY ... on the Colonels Wrist for Two days "....... 7dfe79adc2f0 . But that was many years ago but I still remember it yet. Sorry too ... " Infested With Aqualands Yet ", but sure will try to find one soon.... . Louis

Ok, I think it's over now, apart from possibly some late posters from around the world. There has been an amazing response so it looks like this is something to put in the diary for next year and every year after that too. (Sorry @penguinbce !) I have just done some analysis after I was asked about something. I've only gathered data from here and TOF, not Uhr.de or WUS or IWL or Instagram where there are many more posted, so it's a bit rough and ready. Most people did not post what their case code was, but some did and the results are: Both 6139-6000's were Water 70 Proof and Seiko Chronograph Automatic (at 9 and 12 respectively) All four 6139-6002's were Seiko Chronograph Automatic at 12. Three were blank at 9 and one was Water 70 Resist. There were three 6139-6005 noted, all three are Water 70 Resist at 9 and Seiko Automatic at 12. There were three sunrise dials featured, all were Speedtimer at 9 and 5 Sports at 12. There were four 5 Sports Proof at 9, all were Speedtimer at 12. However, Speedtimer at 12 also showed on both Proof and Resist dials, both coke. Other than that there wasn't enough data to draw any conclusions. I will try and add the Instagram data when I get a chance and update the thread. Here is the data from WS/TOF:

If it helps you: my three are all -6002. Did you account for "R" and "T" dials?

But I am starting to look at my dataset and think there is a lot more info I could get from the pictures, together with emailing some members to ask for info. When I think about it, we probably have just put together the best pictorial database of Pogue's there has been, albeit across several forums and instagram. I can feel a project coming on...
