I'm happy to show this 5H26-7A19 off from 1989. I don't have an example in my collection and was fortunate to buy one for an excellent price given the condition. It looks pristine and purchased from an estate sale. Still has the case back sticker on it.

There was a Pogue that perfect listed on ebay's market place about a week ago. First decent watch I've seen up for grabs in a year or so. Unfortunately I was too slow to respond to the listing. The lume was bright white just like that one. Always a good sign if it's original

This was listed somewhere (not ebay) and following a week of discussions it arrived yesterday. Seller stated selling for a friend (who had owned it from new) so a bit of a gamble. It has all the 100% features, flat top 'A', very very slight signs of deterioration around the sub dial, white marker lume, pushers with chamfers, day/date working, chrono working, very clean movement with no drivers damage on screws, natural DNA in all the crevices and clean undamaged case back. The H link bracelet also looks original. Is a very nice late 6139-6002 , congratulations 🥂

Plus with the appearance of good quality AM glass I am moving away from spending 6 hours reworking. I am going to fit a S&K XMD330.821.

I bought this Gen 1 Orange Monster. I already have one (and orange is my favorite color), but the price was too good that I negotiated so I will sell the one I have now. But I bought it more so for the "Malaysia" on the dial (and case back). Almost every one I've seen has nothing on the dial. My understanding is that the Malaysia dial was intended for North American market and only sold in the authorized dealers. So I thought maybe this was a slightly rarer variant? Anybody have any knowledge on this?
Seller pic. Malaysia is at 6 o'clock to the left.

Actually saw them in concert 2 years ago, it was fantastic and they were better than the headliner! Not saying much since headliner was Hall and Oates... Rob

One of my latest buying accident all up and running. Put up a battle. Clean as a whistle. The movement was nearly worn out!! I don't think it had ever been serviced.

I didn't do my due diligence here.. Fact is I could barely tell one UFO variant from the next when this popped up. A little voice just said make an offer.. make an offer.. So I did. The offer got snapped up pretty quick too so now I'm a bit worried, was I too hasty? Henry

The offer got snapped up pretty quick too so now I'm a bit worried, was I too hasty? Great score Hank! Appears all original. It's an export model from November 1971. The orange chrono hand is correct. The "Resist" marking under the day/date stopped in 1972.
Enjoy! It'll look great when cleaned up.

The reason they are called UFO is if you put it on and spin quickly on the spot you'll take off due to the weight. One of my favourite chronographs. Enjoy
