 Found this on the bay and just thought I'd post this for awareness. I've never seen a fake silver dial 6139 before, but here it is. Fairly evident from the incorrect Seiko logo, concentric sub-dial and crooked resist text, not to mention that badly painted inner bezel. Seller is advertising this as 100% original, so be warned. |

Thanks doomguy. Duly noted.
Another thing I notice, thanks to Tom's excellent comprehensive review thread, is that it is an "R" dial with no serif on the 1 in the sub dial.

Hands have been repainted (badly). The case has just been spun on a lathe with sanding paper to get the finish not with the correct flapper wheels on a jig (lapping machine originally). The pin bar brackets have been sanded not polished. The inner rotating bezel is aftermarket. Seen those inner bezels start appearing on the market. You can tell by the smudged minute markers and that white line around where the lume should be. Actually not a terrible aftermarket bezel that said. I'd put money on the pushers and crown being wrong too as well as the gaskets. Outer bezel has white markers not silver. The dial is a sore point for me. I watched these resist aftermarket dials appear a few months ago and pointed them out on Wrist Sushi but got the old 'no that's original your wrong' replies so I shut up about these. You can tell they are aftermarket simply by the day/date window not fitting the hole correctly, as in you can see gaps. I've also seen these in gold and blue so you've all been warned. Final point and I know it's a small one but I've 'never' seen a good original one of these silver dial examples on anything but a Stelux bracelet. Here is what a good one should look like:  |
