Let me start this off by saying that this will most definitely be one of those sales that I'll truly regret down the road, but a recent development in my oldest daughter's life merits my financial assistance. So in the short term, the intent is to help my family as Jonathan had helped me through the years.
This was Jonathan "Swedefreak" Koch's personal 6139-6002 in which he modded with all white features. There's much that has been done and I'll do my best to outline things.
The brunt of the servicing work was performed by my friend and business partner Spencer Klein. His contributions are documented within the linked thread.

Here are some particulars associated with this watch:
Case: Original 6139-6002 case set was refinished by Jonathan Koch at the time of initial build back in 2011. The case lines are nice throughout, the topside surfaces have been properly rebrushed and the remainder of the case was repolished. there is very minor evidence of daily wear as this was Jon's personal watch and worn quite often.
Bezel: The white tachy ring is a one off custom created by Jonathan himself, I'm not familiar with the process in which he used to make the ring, but it appears to be encased in a clear epoxy and feels like very hard surface.
Crown: OEM crown functions smoothly and rotates the inner ring as it should
Caseback: has been sterilized by Jonathan, I am also including an additional orginial 6139-6002 caseback should the buyer choose to have Seiko markings.
Crystal and gaskets are new throughout
The 6139B movement is exceptional and was completely rebuilt/serviced and regulated by Spencer Klein. The amplitudes are phenominal and range in the mid 250's. The watch keeps excellent time. Just FYI, The cost of one of Spencer's 6139 services runs in the $150 range.
The dial, inner ring are aftermarket products, the hands are orginal seiko oem
The watch will come on one of Jonathan's East Tech reproduction H-Link bracelets. Jonathan customized this particular bracelet with a double fold over clasp as opposed to the normal single.
Price is $225 usd shipped within ConUS via USPS priority mail trackable/insured *****SOLD*****
International Registered airmail is available at an additonal expense to the buyer
Please forgive my lack of normal macro photos of the watch. I will be adding more later this evening, however the attached link above has several photos from Spencer that accurately ouline the watches condition.
