Hello all!
Join a while ago, but decided it's time to be more than a lurker on these boards!
I'm Nils, from the Netherlands.
My main interest is vintage Seiko's and especially the 6139/6138 models. It all started with the search for a Pogue, which was fruitless until I showed a photo to my mother and she told me my father had on in his bedside drawer.
At first I didn't believe her, but it turned out to be true! A very nice Pogue was at the bottom of the drawer and after a service was put back into regular use.

Welcome Nils!
What a fantastic realization to have a watch handed down and to be the one you were looking for all along. Your photos are unfortunately not showing up for us. I hope that is corrected soon as I'd love to see this family Pogue! I started with a 6139-6002 myself (see it in today's WRUW thread 13 APR 2022)
Looking forward to seeing more!

 Welcome Nils! That’s one heck of a find, can’t believe you didn’t realise it might have been there all along! Wear it with pride.
