Hi Guys! Long time watch enthusiast here. My passion for chronographs has brought me here, mainly due to my obsession lately with obtaining a 6139. Currently own a seiko monster and omega speedmaster as well. I am expecting a 6139 to come through within the next week or so. It looks pretty filthy, but hopefully that means the watch is all original. Going to probably need some new gaskets and a new crystal at the very least. Debating which bracelet to stick on it. Seller says it does run though. Hopefully it turns out to be an unpolished gem. Anyways, I have enjoyed learning about 6139s here!

Ah....know exactly where inland empire area is. I have a WR450F in Ridgecrest for when I can get away from MN snow during winter.

Awesome! So you travel back and forth a lot? A WR450F is a dirt bike correct? A lot of people in the inland empire seem to be into that, lifted trucks, and other related things. Seems like fun stuff!

Welcome! Nice catch . . . should be a real corker once it's been given a little TLC!

Yes...the wr450 is an enduro. This one is set up for desert style riding. I try to get to CA a couple times a year for work or to visit family in Ridgecrest. Is nice because when it gets non-ridable due to winter elsewhere in the US, the CA desert is warm enough.
The last couple of trips I have done some quick searches and stopped at a couple shops looking for used Seikos with no luck.

I just stumbled across this watch by pure luck.
