Incoming Seiko

I have been waiting on this one for almost 2months... time and tide have conspired to keep us apart, but this Wednesday it should be on my wrist



One of the first 6139 6012's in the rarer champagne coloured dial . This is a one owner watch and has never been anything but serviced... No polishing or buffing

I know the seller and having actually had this watch in my hands can confirm the above ..... Time to go bracelet hunting.

thats a belter and they are fetch big money these days....hope you got a good deal
i assume it's the original crystal too?

Beautiful looking watch and totally agree that it would suit a bracelet. Great that you also know the history of the watch

The price was fair for an unmolested one, This watch was bought new for his son to travel Asia with in the 70's. It's all original other than the strap

great find Steve, well done

Same guy I got the Tudor from.

I don't have a single chrono at the moment... and that really doesn't bother me, but I like this model because it bridges between chrono and non chrono. And it has some Omega undertones.

Smart looking watch & great that you know it's history. I will look forward to seeing some more pictures when it arrives. Not too long to wait now.

On my way out to collect

it never gets old does it ?

Nope









Just some quickie pickies......

very envy inducing what is the width? i looks a good size for its age

That looks in very good condition and I actually like the mesh bracelet I think it suits the watch

It's large by vintage standards... 40mm

The bracelet is okay but those are large lugs and the bracelet is to slimline for it. If you look at the 1st two pic's you can see how much lug there is.

Thats you now looking for an old bracelet let the search begin

i got a cracker in with the joblot but is only 18mm

hence the sad face, 19mm in bracelets is a killer

I totally agree with what that man said

Well then it would be foolhardy for me to disagree

Collecting watches in person can be so much fun...... take getting this Seiko

"Your late" he said as I sat down. I shrugged. "Where you been?" I ignored the question. "I don't got all day you know." He leaned forward and out of the shadow. "Marty said you was punctual like, I got places to be you know," He stabbed a dirty finger on the table top as if to make a point. "You'd better got the money." I pulled a crumpled envelope from my jacket pocket and placed it on my side of the table. "It all there.... It better be all there." He reached for the envelope. I let him take it. He counts the money then pockets the envelope. "Maybe you ain't so bad.... Marty said you ain't so bad." I shrugged. He took a small box from his grimy coat pocket and pushed it across the table. "Marty says you owe him, said that was a tough'n to find" I pocket the box.

Doesn't that sound more fun than " I gave a low ball offer on ebay, now I'm waiting for the postman"

i too have dealt with Marty, a shadowy character from a shadowy world...i owed him as well,but failed to pay up...it cost me a finger and it was only a Casio

Marty doesn't scare me

I found Marty to be fairly reasonable it is his brother Dave that I had problems with . Dave took "Part Payments" from me the first part was the Right leg



Second part payment was my Left leg
