just bought a 6319 6012 from aug 1974 - it's my first seiko and first auto chrono and your videos have been very helpful! You have my thanks and a new subscriber - and yes i'm leaving the chrono running :)
Thank you for making this vid! I've been into vintage Seiko for a few years now and finally decided to pick up my first Auto Chrono. I went with a notched case 6139-6000 yellow proof dial with a 6139a movement. Hats off to you and your wealth of knowledge keep up the great content!
Thanks Spencer for another great Seiko 101 course. That Silver dial has fantastic potential! The companion course to this one is the video that you made on copy/counterfeit dials. It’s getting so hard to tell original ones from the reproductions.
Hi Spencer, a question for here or your Friday Q&A. I found a December 1969 Blue 6139-6019 Resist/Resist, 2 piece sweep, with original railroad bracelet and I was confused because I was expecting either a Proof dial or 1 piece sweep. Thanks for explaining that this is a transitional model! I also have a April 1970 Blue 6139-6010 Proof/Proof with a single piece sweep. This one is also baffling me. Have you seen any transitional models like this or is it more likely that the sweep hand was replaced at some point in it's life? Thanks for all knowledge that you share to the Seiko community!
Hi Spencer, I have a 6139-6002 proof/proof notch case dated February 1970, and a 6139-6002 no text from March 1979, and there is a difference that nobody has pointed out that I’m aware of. The earlier model has no silver tick mark on the outer tachymeter ring under the number 60, while the later model does. I’m rather certain these are both original, and not modified in any way. I’ve looked at hundreds of photos online, and sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not, but all the aftermarket parts do have it. Could this possibly be a way to identify whether an earlier model is actually all original, or if someone has replaced parts to pass off a watch as all original? Just wanted your thoughts, and maybe add another layer to the 6139 folklore and mysteries, thanks as always- Rick

Thanks Spencer, excellent video! I always learn so much!
I pray Seiko will remake a silver dial like that. Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
My favorite is the SpeedTimer 70 Proof

Love those watches, thanks
Cant wait to see that restored.
If this watch came out in the 69 it means it was the first automatic Chronograph, not the El Primero, love both watches though.

Hi
Please do the 7016 movement.
Hi Spencer
Could you tell me which bracelet is correct for a Seiko 6139-6012 from 1971?
I have a nice watch but its missing the bracelet.
Thanks.
There are 2 “True” Pogues on the Bay right now
looks like Seiko will re-make, re-issue this for Basel 2020..
...In limited edition, with a spring drive caliber,45 mm and with a humungus price.
Aaah the new mentality of Seiko :(
Or, worse, they'll make it quartz and have some but not all the functionality of the original.
Dear god tell me he’s stopped crewing gum
He? You mean me? Yes, I stopped chewing gum years ago. Do you feel better now?
