For the 6139 I'm pro aftermarket. There are many versions of this watch and they are almost all non-original. You might as well have a refurbished one in good condition, you aren't pretending its a Rolex or a museum piece. This is like the AC Cobra of watches. They are almost all some level of replica purchased 99% for the fun and history of it. So long as the movement is a 6139, the dial is yellow and the bezel is a pepsi tachymeter, thats good enough for me. Preference to lume that doesn't look like a ring of sundried turds and a dial that doesn't look like its covered in rust.
Just a quick note to thank you for post this, it's been REALLY helpful! I'm looking to acquire one as a bit of a legacy to my step-dad, who wore one for decades (before unwittingly throwing it in the bin about 5 years ago, just because the crystal was too scratched up!!) Thanks again!
I have a pogue,its totally origional,my brother bought it new in 73,hardly wore it,gave it to me in 81 been serviced by seiko three times,i love it! Just checked my dial,it says 70 m proof,so its a rare one! £60 in 1972
I have a 6139 6002 spent good money on mine 750usd only case and mechanics are original everything else is aftermarket don't know current value my watch is fully restored
Great video I have one .Trouble is kept it in a box for 15 years decided to start wearing it but now only ticks for a few minutes and chapter ring doesn't move.Do you know anyone trustworthy who would look at it.
Hi, I have one of these seiko watches, it’s dated 1972, got this from my dad in 1977, 18th birthday present, been serviced in the 80’s local jeweller. Never been touched since, broke the strap in the 80’s lost half kept half, put an after market pogue strap on it couple of yrs ago, keeps perfect time but chapter ring doesn’t turn , it never did after service. I don’t see many of these on eBay, blue dial does it have a decent value?
They did a lot of different coloured dial and inner bezel combinations. Heavily dependent on value in afraid, search for Seiko 6139 and see if you can find it! 😄
Hey, I have a 6139-6002 (1971/ Blue Dail / Middle East). It is slightly damaged. But everything works properly and runs well. How much could I quote for the watch?
Hi there it's difficult to say without seeing pictures of it to be truthful, they vary massively depending on condition and if it is all genuine parts. Send me some details to pw.watchmaking@gmail.com and I'll take a look 🙂
The dial codes are pretty often different from the back codes. As long as the years match up it’s good. Reason being the code just specified when that part was made. Not that watch. So the dial could’ve been made a month or two before the caseback or vice versa. Totally normal. Now if you find one with a back that indicates September of 71 and a dial that’s saying November 75 then you’ve got questions
Hi there depending on where you are, if in Europe I can certainly have a look. Parts can be expensive with their popularity at the moment, sometimes a full refurb can run into higher figures than expected. A simple service will do it wonders though. DM me on here or Instagram if you want to chat further, thanks, Paul
@@earlcoats2357 ah ok, sounds great. There's definitely scope to replace those parts. If you want to get in touch at pw.watchmaking@gmail.com we could have a look at getting it to me? I'm up near Glasgow. Thanks, Paul.
The watch featured here I’m sorry, isn’t a “true”Pogue, it’s a Seiko Model 6139-6002. It’s missing all the appropriate dial markings. A Pogue will be a 6139-6005. Champagne dial with “Water 70mResistant at the 9 position. At 12 under Seiko it will simply say Automatic and right under the hands at the shaft, in the 6 o’clock is 17J., meaning 17 Jewels and the Seiko Suwa symbol below that. 👍🏻

Totally agree. Just bought a refurb Pogue with this exact philosophy in mind.
Well aren't you special

I managed to repair the sub second hand just after this video, the hand simply needed tightening!
Thanks for all of the Information, I learnt a lot from your video especially the aftermarket spares situation. Keep on the good work. Regards Brian

Great info on Seiko’s… I have a John player special out for repairs now and really love the watch. Thanks for posting.
Excellent video, very helpful. Much appreciated, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻 Subscribed 😉
Thanks - really excellent video. I’m looking to get my Pogue serviced. Do you work on other peoples or just your own?
I'm afraid I don't really work on watches anymore due to an issue with my hand.
@@pwrestoration sorry to hear that - but good luck with the other projects and videos

Have a search for the retro watch group on Facebook, there's people in there who could take care of it.

Me when someone says "it's not a true pogue" 🫥
👍👍
I've just bought my first 6139-6002 blue dial, off ebay.
It looks like it's all original.
Hopefully, I'm correct.
If you need anything, give me a shout 👍
@@pwrestoration thanks.
