I Have Waited A Long Time For This Watch :)
« on: February 03, 2012, 08:39:44 PM »
The closest  to NOS   6139-6005 that I have ever Handled, Everything operates like the watch is new, Quickset snaps into place, Chrono zeros tip top, Lume all fires and dies at the same rate, Case is like new sharp  :dance: The bracelet is full and only the lightest marks, "SEIKO" is as crisp as I have seen, Check it out  :)

I have been in Deepshit many times; the older I get, the easier it is  to get there. I actually kind of enjoy it there :)

Worth the wait mate :clap: :clap:

I have been looking out for one of these for ages - particularly a proper Pogue with the resist dial - there are a lot of dodgy ones around - looks like you found yourself a lovely example here - congrats :bravo_2:

John, Just like the picture, No corrosion whatsoever, Just looks a touch lighter around the markers, The rest of the sub dial matches the Main dial  :)

Aurelius, I caught this one trolling in the Bay  :)  I watched it from the beginning and the wait was crushing me, I wasn't about to let this Watch get away.
