I wasn't aware of any aftermarket 6139 "Sunrise" dials but it looks like they're out there:
273735064307 The chrono hands are aftermarket. The case back isn't correct and the bracelet is wrong. The Speedtimer text is too close to the 9 o'clock marker lume. ![]() Thoughts?

thanks for posting Tom.
They'll only get better at these replicas. Something I've been wondering: what will be the attitudes about these AM watches 50 yrs from now when they are old and used? Like "time heals all wounds", time changes opinions as well ....

This is clearly a fake... eBay is knee deep in fake Seikos. Fake 6139 dials are turning up everywhere, usually described as ‘dial is in good used condition’. Sellers very rarely state the dial is new, fake, replaced, or aftermarket. - Know what you’re buying. Research is everything.

So what's really disturbing is the ebay auction description. All claims of originality and completely devoid of mention of the fact that probably EVERY part I can see is aftermarket !
Dial, hands, inner ring (not 100% sure but pretty sure), tachy insert and bracelet. I also think the case back looks totally suspect, like "you know who's" faked Feb. 1969 6139-6000 case backs. And the dummies didn't even use the proper 2 months (possibly a third) of production while they were at it. Anyway I don't want to participate in Round 2 with 'that knucklehead' but this is clearly the start of the Pogue fakes going viral. |

And, as Aaron pointed out, the original dials had the 9 o'clock marker shortened in order for the Speedtimer text to fit properly. You can also notice no Lineal markings on the dial like on the original.

![]() You guys are so good at spotting fake Parts on 6139s 6xxxx. I still can’t spot it even when i research. Is there a good write up comparison of what to look for? I am always skeptical to bid. On that note, do you ever have a feeling you are bidding against the same person. When I don’t bid it stays at that price at close. When i do i always goes at average price of others. I always wonder if the Seiko forum guys are my competition. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That bezel insert looks fake too. The 250, 220, 200 markers don't go to the inside edge
