Hello all.
What is this bracelet, can it still be purchased, and is it original to any vintage Seikos like the 6139?
Thanks again.

Do you have a picture of it?
Stelux bracelets are not something being made today, AFAIK.

The chunky chocolate bracelet is often seen on the 6139-7080 and sometimes on the 61380-0030. I believe there was some debate about whether these were original or put on by the retailer at the point-of-sale. I got one from a cheap 6139 and fitted it to my 6138 with some AM endlinks. BTW if anybody has a original bezel insert in decent nick I'd love to hear from you.  |

That's the bracelet I really like. Will that one fit a 6139?

The only 6139 I remember seeing it fitted to is the 6139-7080. If you can get some suitable endlinks for your watch then something could possibly be created, though I wouldn't like to predict how much effort would be needed without more info....

Looks too chunky for a 6139-600x, if that's what you're talking about. But hey, since I've never seen that combination, I could be wrong.

The Stelux bracelet that came with the 6139-600x watches is hard to come by. The bracelet on the speedtimer is the same as used on the 7016-8000 and the 6138-8020 (the panda) apart from you need one with different end fittings. The problem you will have is finding some end links with the smaller bracelet link hole. These only come on the Stelux bracelets and are almost impossible to find without the stelux bracelet. I brought those ends recently that said but they were not cheap at about $35USD the pair and I also brought a NOS bracelet for a watch of mine the same as the one you like which cost me $110. This is the correct Stelux for the 6139-600x but good luck finding one!   |
