Hello together,
if I'm completely honest, I actually only came across this forum by a few coincidences. A long time ago I had contact with Louis, aka. LongBike actually because of military watches. After some time of back and forth emails we ended up on Seiko (MACV SOG) and Citizen watches and he recommended this forum to me.
Because I didn't even own a Japanese watch back then, I didn't really take the matter any further. But as luck would have it, all of a sudden a 6139 chronograph came into my hands. I was immediately fascinated. Then the one chronograph became two, and so on.... So it comes that I am now quite "infected" with Japanese vintage watches.
Unfortunately, I still lack some know-how and can provide little informative input. But hopefully that will change and I look forward to a great time here in the forum!

Welcome!
You will need to setup an Imgur.com account (or similar service) - upload your photos there and then paste the BB Code link into posts - a few extra steps - but worth it. How many 6139's do you have?

Welcome mjoe! I started with a 6139-6002 myself and it's been all downhill from there They are really enjoyable watches to own, wear, and if you're brave - tinker with. My first watch project on the 6139 is here if you'd like to see one go to pieces and make it back together again.
Any friend of longbike is one of ours too, so feel free to jump in and ask questions!

Thank you for your kind and warm welcome! I will try to create an Imgur.com account and then show the watches. Great project, but I don't dare to repair the watches myself due to my clumsiness. I prefer to leave that to the professionals
