Wow thank u my friend i had no idea there were so many crystals which are not as good as the originals
I know I will not look at any crystal in the same way
Thank u for doing this and taking the time to make a proper one
I agree that details matter
Do it right or don't do it at all
God Bless,John
I hope u consider making a proper type 2 Seiko 6105 as well

As we start a New Year I find it refreshing that the person who has shown the longest commitment and dedication to the Seiko 6139 is now making the crystals available to the Seiko Community.

The Seiko 6139-600X is a beautiful watch, full of history, and is a beloved favorite of many Seiko collectors. Any Pogue that has survived all these years and has been properly cared for or carefully restored deserves The Best!

It was a special honor and privilege for me when Tom offered and then installed one of his early prototype crystals in my Seiko 6139 Sunrise. Tom's new crystal is Absolutely Stunning and makes the 6139 Dial and Watch look its Very Best!

Thank You Tom!

You're very welcome Kyle!

It was also an honor to have the opportunity to be able to install one of my new crystals in your Sunrise.

And when or where can we buy them? Looks good!

They would have been delivered today but I wasn't available to sign for the shipment and I'll be in and out tomorrow so I rescheduled delivery for Mon.

PM me on Monday if you would like to place an order. I won't be able to list them on the trading post until next Wed. or Thurs. due to the posting rules.

Correct ref the rules Tom but that rule tends to be targeted at individual sales and promoting a watch etc on the forum before putting it in the TF but I think the mods tend to turn a blind eye to services being offered for the benefit of the members for example Larry/bracelets.
 
Great comparison and a thoroughly fair and complete side by side review. I would expect nothing less coming from you. Thanks so much for the heads up a while back that this project was in the works because its given me time to drag out all my 6139-6Ă—Ă—Ă— pieces and ready them for upgrades. Many may think you have been struck by OCD but in your case I prefer to call it ATD ! Attention to detail ! Its great that you have a premium product to go with your premium service. I'm so happy for you this project will see success and happy for all of us who will benefit from them. Stellar work Tom !

Thanks Jim! I appreciate your thoughts!

I'll also be able to sleep much better now that I know I have ATD rather then OCD........;)
My current line of work for the last 30 years required that I pay Close Attention to Detail and at this point it just comes natural.......:)
 
2020 starts very promising. Great review and good job done Tom. Certanly will order some crystals!
Thanks

Hi Tom,

What an impressive job you've done...I didn't expect there were so many differencies between AM crystal makers.I always use SK because they use to have a huge variety of OEM crystals,but your is simply astonishing.

I got a 6005 to service,i will order one ..Unforltunatly,i haven't seen this thread before...

Hi there. I am also interested in getting some for the watches of some customers. I did use AM in the past (won't name names, but it is not SK...) but was not really impressed. I have 5 6139 to service at the moment, so I might send you a PM soon... (or send me one with some more details (price, payment terms... ecc.)

Update:

The crystals arrived today as scheduled.
Unfortunately, I am sorry to report, They do not meet my strict standards. There is an issue with the angle of the beveled edge.

My order had previously been delayed for this very issue when the quality control department had discovered it on their end.
I'm hoping that someone just mixed up the two batches of crystals and shipped the wrong box. I'm in the process of sorting it out but this means a Delay in the crystals availability.
My apologies guys!
 
Good luck Tom. Any delay for you to sort the issue and get these right is well worth it and demonstrates precisely why we want your version. In the end we know they will satisfy !
