help with a seiko chronogragh

One of my watch guys has one of these in his shop!!Think they are 6139 series out of the 70's almost 40mm and the chrono function works and goes back to 12! watch is in much better shape than this one but wanted some feedback from the seiko boys!!!






looks more like this one..

They're well thought of and can be a nice watch. The 2nd one has hidden lugs and a straight bar bracelet, if you can't find a suitable oem, will work just fine.

I suggest that you review this article:

orginally from the SCWF.

Absolutely essential in these cases.

Good luck.

Trevor..I guess I can't really help too much in the Seiko realm !

holy cow tom! think i can find out anything with all of those, thanks! might have a new pic for you in the morning!

@Trevor, I love the looks of that watch (especially the second one). Did Mr. Chatel show it to you?

@Tom, Holy Shit, dude... I don't have a job and I couldn't have found that many links.

Think you know the answer to that one tim, hate to say it but a used seiko wouldnt end up in his shop, the only used pieces Chatel even had were 4 panerai's that were on consignment!!! There is a guy in salinas called tony's jewelers and he has a bunch of junk and then 10-12 great pieces!!

check these out that he has right now..






2900 bones for this badboy!

Yeah, I forgot the winky face behind that question. He showed me one Panny (don't know the ref. number) white dial, 40mm on croc.

You're an evil, evil man showing those other photos. I'd like Omega #1 please.

fone on ebay for 3200.00!

Yeah, I love chronos (almost all I own) but I like that yellow numbered bezel on the three hand.

40mm white dial pam 00049! cool watch! Think i tried it on if it was used!!! looked like all 4 used piece were 40mm!! Very nice man but boy they dont discount in carmel!!! Not sure what that seamaster with the yellow on it is??? tony want 1800 but he is easy to get down in price but i've never seen that model, it's on his website!

Have you ever seen yellow on a seamaster? will go look at it in the morning!

Not many... but look at it for yourself, I'm kinda on hold.

Found a bunch of 300 T logo dial replicas!! the circle T above the seamaster300 is very vintage 60's and the t is for tritium! the only thing i have found is replica's its that hard to find an original!!! 1800 bucks he better hope he is not selling a fake!!! Also used the circle T for military and a few watchmakers like eddie platts still use the dial style!

I'm glad to help you out Trev ! Looking forward to your pics too sir ! Also..Tim, I just
did a few searches and basically found the tip of the iceberg there. There are SO many links
for this type of information, it's really something !

I have found out the omega seamaster 300 is a FAKE and i'm going to confront the store owner this morning!! The T series didnt have a date wheel, the second hand is wrong and the minute markers go out the back end of the 5,10,15,20 and so on markers, you can see a fine line leaveing the big marker going out to the end of the dial

Wow. Let us know what happens (I don't really need to say that, because I know you will. )

This is a great example of why people need to do research on their watch purchases! Not to mention the fact that there are a lot of great resources out there at the various watch forums!

GREAT detective work Trevor ! Yes..Please keep us up to date
on how things turn out with this !!! Good Luck to you !

. . . . Phew!!!! A fake!!!

Oh well, at least the Seiko is real . . . .
