Seiko 6138-0040 bullhead sweep hand

[terras14]

Hi,

May I confirm where should the sweep hand end for this watch? All the way to the outer edge of the marker between the minute marker( longer sweep ) or there are variant that is shorter that ends at the inner edge of the marker between the minute marker ( shorter sweep ).

Many thanks and appreciate for any input.

If your second hand is shorter it's one off a 6139 chronograph. Most of those are cut a little shorter. The bulkhead has the longer hand.

Hi thanks for your input. Any difference in the appearance of the 6138vs6139 needle except for length?
The colour of my sweep needle doesnt seems to belong to a 6139 family sweep so I cant be sure.

They're both the same, it's just a matter of how long they're trimmed.

I see thanks
