Info added to memory banks. It's one of the reasons I like this place so much; the knowledge of the members and their willingness to share that experience with others.SeikoPsycho2 said:This is a common area for corrosion on yellow dial 6139's and from what I understand (thanks Jonathan) the clear lacquer coating on the dial is thinnest around the edge of the sub dial which allows corrosion to start in this area.

This is not an original 6139-600X bracelet. The original clasp has a tab and the "H-link" is slightly different.
What's pictured there is the STELUX version of the H-Link. The main difference is the different clasp, thicker folded links and a thicker middle link. It is the bracelet swedefreak based his reproduction from. I may be wrong, but I believe, according to our data, these were on Asian market 600x's. The "rest of the world" market pieces had the SEIKO version, which is thinner and more flimsy, and has the tab on the buckle.SeikoPsycho2 said:This is not an original 6139-600X bracelet.

Hi Halo,
Are you sure that last one was ever attached to a -600x? The end-piece doesn't appear like it would fit the case properly- there is no arch to the top of the end piece.
Not 100% sure. The top link on this bracelet is a 24mm and the end piece is for a different piece. I modify them by removing the top link and putting the standard end piece on.rileynp said:Hi Halo,
