I've read about this somewhere. Yes, they were produced only in a limited time frame. Can't say for sure when. Only the first two years? And not on all models?
My two blues from '71 and the yellow one from '74 (I think) don't have it.
There is a thread on TOF about a crazy priced -6000 that also discusses the boxes under the "60" marker.

First post here. When I was visiting my parents for Christmas, my dad gave me this 6139-6005 that he bought new in the 70's. It had been sitting in a drawer for 20+ years with a broken stem, missing crown and other items that needed to be repaired. I just received it back from Tom (SeikoPsycho) who did a fantastic job getting everything repaired. Here are some photos he sent me after the repairs were completed.

Stunning color! I really need to get a "T" model to complement my golden "R" one. What happened to the hands?

They need a clean, they have some frosting on them which you don't notice in person. This one's been sitting in a drawer for years until I get round to servicing it. I'm going to fully jewel the train etc as well when I do it. Stunning color! I really need to get a "T" model to complement my golden "R" one. What happened to the hands?

There's a few on this thread alone that do have the box...is it possible that during a certain period there were bezels with this type of insert? Rob Mine has the box. Mine is a 6139-6009R from October of 77. BTW, what's the difference between -R and -T suffix? I also have a blue one from 71 but don't have any pictures handy right now.

Generally the T dials were the yellow gold and the R were the darker Amber colour. If you look at Adrian's one above its much lighter. Although from memory I think they also said 6030R whereas the T dials were all 6009T.. Yours having 6009R is interesting.

Also the "1" of the minute counter is different - The "1" on R-dials have a down stroke and on T-dials they are a straight line.

What do you guys think of this one? Hands good? Pushers look big to me, also a little worried about the crown. All fixable but will affect what I want to pay.

I don't like the hands. Also, do you have another photo? The subdial could have vinyl grooves, but I can't really say on this photo.

More pics would be good. I can at least say that the chrono hands were painted, as the middle bit is also painted, which shouldn't be the case (compare to the pic above).
From here it's guesswork, as the pic just doesn't give enough detail:
The hour/minute hands look to straight for me (parallel sides as opposed to the slightly slanted ones on the original). The Seiko "O" looks just a bit off (could be the angle). And finally, if it is a "R" dial (the last character doesn't look like a "T", but again, resolution), the "1" should have a nose, as opposed to it being a straight line.

:dance: The serial number indicates a production in February1969 This is one of the first Seiko Automatic Chronograph ever produced: first month of production, nearly impossible to find. This particular model was introduced in Japan in February 1969 before the famous 6139-6002 released in the whole world in May 1969. Hour and minute hands are mat silver. These hands can only be seen on the very first months of production. 7dfe79adc2f0 Attachments:

Hi All Currently looking at a Pogue purchase which is described as all original. My question is the dial and case back appear to have the Suwa symbol yet the movement seems to have Dani Seikosha on it. This seems odd to me. Appreciate any guidance
Thanks Bundy

Do you have pics? Is the movement marked 6139? Only Suwa build these to my knowledge... Daini's answer was the 7018

These movements have been known to have a Daini rotor on them though, as shown in this example by Duncan (Cannop).
