hmmm, not easy to find a vintage chrono in shop now.John.ChiaTC wrote:Wow, all Seiko vintage are really a beauty to me. Is there any shop local selling?
even if there is, pls check the parts before getting it
buying a vintage chrono is not easy, esp in all original parts

Thks for the offer, bro stepper. I still new to Seiko vintage and maybe need to time learn on how to see original parts. But I will still consider your Jumbo. Or it is possible to give me a short review of your Jumbo so I can understand more.stepper78 wrote:i am selling my 6138 jumbo, visit the market place for it.John.ChiaTC wrote:Wow, all Seiko vintage are really a beauty to me.

no, it's not purely on 6138s, a mixture of here & there on some more popular 6138s like bullhead & 6139 Pogues.John.ChiaTC wrote:Thk bro but is this the full reference and guideline?lunarin79 wrote:

Usually I will use this & google as references to cross check on certain vintage models

Thk bro. I do understand these reference are only for guideline. But still, it take many years of experience to know the diff between original and fake.lunarin79 wrote:no, it's not purely on 6138s, a mixture of here & there on some more popular 6138s like bullhead & 6139 Pogues.John.ChiaTC wrote: Thk bro but is this the full reference and guideline?

With my current watch knowledge, I have doubt that I'm able to spot the fake parts, if the seller say all original and of coz on the price too. I know nut on the pricing of Seiko vintage chrono.

Am new here.
Posted my first post in the Introductions sections several months ago, but since then never posted liao.
Then I met one of the Administrators at K2 this afternoon, who encouraged me to post more, so here I am.
My watch collecting 'focus' is on the early automatic chronographs from Heuer, Zenith and Seiko, which first appeared in 1969, my birth year.
So after finding some Heuer and Zenith pieces, I was looking hard for a early Seiko 6139.
After casting my search-net worldwide for many monthly without fruit, I finally found one locally!
So this ended up as my first vintage Seiko - a JDM Seiko 5 Speed-timer 6139-6010 with 'Proof' dial, 'Proof' caseback, with serial number 01xxxx dating to Jan 1970, 21J 6139A movement, recessed dimpled crown, and it even had the period correct bracelet.
The only thing 'wrong' with it is that the running chrono hand seems to be of the later type rather than the earlier 2-piece type!
