Short story.
Here is what happens when you have good relationship with your customers/friends
I sold the blue seiko and told the new owner if he was ever to sell that watch give me first shot at it,well now I will own his collection of all 4 6139 seikos
Thanks Ike.

Pretty nice! Wish I had friends like that.

Replaced crystal on Pogue .

Hard to beat those 6139s. Nice bunch Peter.

Thanks Tom.

Peter, do you run the chronic all the time, or do you leave it set at "0"? I have read differing opinions on this topic, wanted to get yours.

I do not run the chrono. unless I need it

So I used to run mine all the time. I recently started wearing it again and now it stops (second timing hand) in the same spot after a few minutes. Almost like it is having an issue advancing the timing minute hand forward. Might need to look for debris or something. Happens sporadically (every minute, then 40 minutes, then 15...). But always in the same spot whilst makes me think there is an issue with a gear or spring. LOVE these watches though.

Dan

or the screw issue on the chrono, module for advancing to next minute?

I took a look under the hood and it appeared to be a small piece of debris on the minute register. I did a quick dusting and all seems to be good.

great news !

Few more arrived

Love the gold dial! I might have to restart my search! The one on the left looks like an all original example!

yes Dan the left one is with original metal band.

my seiko geeks will get it ,
