Aug 1971 Seiko Pogue. Nice work. Glad you decided the jewel the mainspring arbor ports. Many of these 6139s need that repair and upgrade. Min sub dial hand is incorrect but will function just fine. Sub dial hand should be a red tear drop hand. A nice heirloom piece.
august 1971, rare to see a super clean dial for the pogue, the dil is also original to the watch (same dating), someone was in this watch before, the day disk c clip is was put on flipped
i also have a watch like this. Bought it from someone who found it in a house that was being cleared. I brought it to an "expert" to restore the watch. At first it looked like he did a good job but the watch didn't keep time well and sometimes stopped al together. I opened it mysef and i noticed that he put in two rubies for the main spring barrel, but they were not aligned properly and that made the barrel sit at an angle, therefore rubbing against something inside. The Expert is gone and i still have the watch, sitting in a drawer.
Oh no. That is unfortunate. It is true that when you ream the hole you need to have a proper tool to be sure the hole is located correctly and perpendicular perfectly as well. It is a shame for your watch
Very nice watch. I have a couple of interesting watches that need servicing but unfortunately the service charge far exceeds the value of the watches. While one is a Vostok 40th anniversary (1985) with no date so the cost of service would not be to prohibitive the other is a Poljot 3133 chronograph with date (Olympic lottery 1992 126 of 300) and the cost of service would be in excess of £500 for a watch value of about £350. I would love to learn to do the work myself but severe arthritis in my hands prohibits this. Very nice work, you always seen to show interesting watches.

When you close up an arbor hole, is it good practice to then use a deburring tool to make sure no burrs?
I use a smoothing broach after closing up the hole. This will open the hole and makes it smoother

I bought one of these while aboard The USS Enterprise (in the ship's store) in 1975 for $75.

More than £500 for a chrono is a bit too much if it is just a service. You can reach me if you want on my website
I love a psycho! ;) Isn't there a re-issue of that watch?
It is better to have no original one
Is that the bioceramic swatch on wrist? No hate here
Yes I have a couple of moonswatch
:)
