Finally sorted my 6139-6031 Coke Pogue with thanks to member Acidstain for the NOS Coke Bezel. This was the piece to the puzzle to make my Coke Pogue just about perfect !
First, let's compare the aftermarket Coke Insert to the NOS OEM Seiko insert:
The one on the left is the typical aftermarket insert and the new, proper NOS Seiko is on the right.
- Note the silver box on the NOS under the 60 mark on the original. Never seen an AM in any color scheme yet that has this box.
- Note how close to the outer edge (touches) the AM numbers are on the left side. The '7' in 75, and '8' in 80 and 85 and '9' in 90 are located so far towards the outer edge that they actually touch the ID of the bezel itself.
- The AM font is thinner on the word TACHYMETER and for the digits too.
- There is something just 'off' in the red portion with how the numbers are presented. Somthing's not quite lined up right, maybe the wrong font has been said, uneven - just off a bit.
Original hands (both yellow on mine, you see them sometimes orange or even one yellow/one orange). This is the non-notched PROOF dial and case back 6139-6031, August 1970.
