Hi guys. I tried to purchase the 75 Pogue from Tony (cockroach) but we couldn't get the deal done. He is a great guy though who has really helped me learn about the great watch. What do you guys think of this one... forums.watchuseek.com/f29/fs-seiko-6139-6002-automatic-chronograph-pogue-yellow-dial-1314218.html?highlight=seiko+6139Tony mentioned that he is concerned about the dial, hands and pushers. The seller said that the movement is 100% original - actually the seller stated to me that the entire watch is original sans bezel. Any thoughts from the other experts? I already made an offer, and realize that this isn't a all original example, but I like the way it looks and think it would be a good wearable piece until my perfect example of a Pogue pops up. I also think his price is a bit high considering I will have to purchase a bracelet and such. Thank you. |

For that kind of money I personally would pass. I don't know enough about these watches to say whether or not it is all original. If it is not, you might have trouble getting what you have into it when you do want t sell it. If it is all original, then that is pretty close to what they are going for.

I feel it is a bit high as well, but the seller is a reputable Seiko modder. Also trying to acquire a worthy Pogue at a price much less then this is quite difficult.

Maybe I'm missing something, but shouldn't the question be raised before you make an offer, unless you're able to withdraw the offer if you get negative responses? JMHO.

I agree - that's a pinch high. Be patient - Seiko made TONS of those gold dialed 6139 watches. One will come your way, trust me.

It being listed for 6 days, should certainly be a sign. If it were all original, on it's bracelet, and not relumed/refinished, I'd say it might be within reason. Botton line, it's up to you...you need to be happy with your purchase.

thank you for you thoughts.
it wasn't unreasonable at all. however it was completely off topic and irrelevant to my questions.
back on topic - sorry and again thank you for the help. keep the thoughts coming.

I considered that one, but the dial looked too copper, and not yellow enough. |

He forgot to mention that the chrono hand and the sub register hand have been repainted.

He forgot to mention that the chrono hand and the sub register hand have been repainted. I mentioned that too and a horrible repaint it is! I presume you mean on the watch at the top of this post? There is some thing wrong with the sub dial numbers. I think the dial has either been repainted or the numbers on the sub dial have been badly touched up. They seem to 'bleed'? Just my observations anyway. I'd only buy it for parts personally but then you lot keep telling me I'm too fussy. T |

I use them for fine dial work on clocks. The ink is very thinned and tends to spread on non smooth surfaces. Where originally these dials were silk screen printed (or painted) which gives a near perfect thick and sharp finish to the black works edges. That's my theory and I am sticking with it gov! |
