FOR SALE IS A SUPER COOL 1970s SEIKO 6139-7010 SPEEDTIMER IN REALLY SHARP CONDITION WITH WITH ONE OF MY FAVORITE DIALS.
-
CASE: SEXY AND SOLID ALL STEEL CASE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION MEASURING A HUNKY 41.5mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL RECESSED CROWN BY 44mm LUG TO LUG. THE FACTORY ORIGINAL POLISHING LOOKS PHENOMENAL ON THIS ONE. I WILL NOTE THAT THE CASEBACK DOES LOOK TO BE A REPLACEMENT FROM A 6139-6005, BUT FITS PERFECTLY AND IS MOST LIKELY THE SAME DESIGN AS THE ORIGINAL.
-
DIAL: THIS DIAL AND HANDSET IS REALLY WHAT SELLS THIS WATCH. CHECKOUT THAT SUPER LEGIBLE MATTE BLACK BACKGROUND WITH THOSE NO-NONSENSE ARABIC NUMERALS. THE LUME PLOTS ARE ALL INTACT WITH A LITTLE TOUCH OF LOVELY PATINA WHICH MATCHES NICELY WITH THAT ON THOSE WHITE TIPPED TACTICAL STYLE HANDS. I LOVE THAT POP OF CITRUS FROM THE CHRONO HANDS TO THE “SPEEDTIMER” ON THE DIAL….VERY PLAYFUL. THE BLACK’D OUT KANJI DAY/DATE DISPLAY IS A NICE TOUCH. ALL VIEWED UNDER THE ORIGINAL HARDLEX CRYSTAL.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS SEIKO RUNS ON THE FAMOUS COLUMN WHEEL IN-HOUSE CALIBER 6139 WHICH IS RUNNING BEAUTIFULLY. THIS ONE HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME AND ALL CHRONO FUNCTIONS WORK AS THEY SHOULD. BOTH DAY/DATE ARE QUICKSET AND FUNCTION WELL. I WILL NOTE THAT THE CHRONO MINUTE TOTALIZER RESETS A 1/2 MILLIMETER FROM FULL ZERO BUT STILL.....JUST THOUGHT I'D MENTION. THIS ONE WAS RECENTLY SERVICED BY THE PREVIOUS BEFORE I TOOK POSSESSION.
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A LOVELY PERFORATED RALLYE STRAP IN TAN WHICH IS VERY SPORTY ON THIS FELLA. THIS IS VINTAGE SEIKO AT ITS BEST: FUNKY, WELL-FINISHED, AND BADASS. THIS IS A REALLY NICE EXAMPLE OF ONE OF MY FAVORITES FROM THE 6139 LINE OF CHRONOGRAPHS. I’VE GOT THIS ONE PRICED TO MOVE SO TAKE ADVANTAGE!!! WHAT A GROOVY JDM MODEL!
