Yes, That is one of the first 6139 speedtimers but I believe it has the wrong hour + minute hands.

newly in.. early pogue 6139
This just came in today.. back from the watchmaker where it was in for a full service.. still needs a Crystal.. I suspect this is one of the earliest examples of this model or any 6139..

The hands on the very early 6139's are easy to distinguish as they should have a frosted finish unlike the later polished ones.
Nice speedtimer by the way!

This is my June 69 6139-6000:
And I do have a Feb 1970 Speedtimer here but as I have just sold it to a friend I cannot post it for comparison unless I get his OK. The hands are the same style of hour and minute but yours has the earlier seconds 2 piece hand like my one above.

Ok check out this baby. I picked it up earlier this week and am sad to say I have already let Thickman808 take it from me.... sniff sniff.... It's a Feb 1970 6139-6030 with Proof dial and Proof case back. Not a split seconds hand but the sub minute hand is gold
Lucky I like Tom otherwise he'd have stood no chance getting this one from me :grin:

IMO I think the 6139s are one of if not the best looking models Seiko produced, colourful and quality.
I remember seeing a couple in a Jewellers (new) back in the 70s and I really lusted after them but couldent afford them( kids wanted to eat, bills to pay etc, thinking about it not much has changed in the last 40 odd years ).

Thank you Tom. PM with priceI'm feeling better already Jose! At least a friend got it........

Probably just needs a little lovin' and a service
Mine all keep spot on time considering but if you want true perfect time keeping then you can't beat Quartz. That said I have a regulator clock made c1850 that keeps to within 2 seconds over 3 months I was just looking at this on..You know where..
