In moving around the watch world, I find myself consistently coming back to vintage Seiko's. I recently acquired an all original Seiko 6139-6005 Pogue from December 1971, purchased from a reputable seller, on the OF. With no recent service history my next step was to get the watch serviced. Who better to send it to than Spencer Klein - wornandwound.com/interview-spencer-klein-watchmaker-seiko-specialist/ . I sent him and email and he asked me to send the watch to him in Fort Collins. Spencer explained that he would complete and initial evaluation of the watch and send me the video. When the service is complete he will furnish me with a second video, explaining what all he had done to the watch, during the service. Here is a couple of quick pictures taken of the watch before I sent it off:   Here is the initial evaluation by Spencer. I will post more pictures when the watch is back with me, as well as the completion video. Tom Hickman (UK) is another great resource for vintage Seiko's - result is an another incoming - a 6138-0030 Kakume from January 1974 - expected to arrive any day. |

Love the color combo on that one and the thin bezel really lets the yellow dial pop! Nice pick up.

Oh yeah!
That's freaking awesome.
After my trip to Miami, I find myself being drawn to vintage more and more.

Vintage Seiko's certainly have some soul. That's such a nice piece!

A bit late getting to this wonderful thread! Funny, I keep looking at vintage Seikos, Grand Seikos but have not taken the plunge lately. There is apparently an excellent watchmaker in Vancouver as well who could take care of all the servicing. Looking forward to more pics.
Thanks,
Carl

There are so many good vintage dealers and watchmakers out there. Most of the fun is in finding out who they are. Its early days for me with the 70's Seiko's but there are a handful of watches that I have identified, that I would like to acquire. It may take a while to find the all original examples that I am looking for but ends up with a lot of learning along the way. Cheers Mark |

That's truly nice watch. Please send the pic once it gets restored, I am eagerly waiting to see it.
Honestly, I do own one Omega which was given by my father and never restore it. Its weird but I think if I restore it then it would mess up with its vintage look.
Please send the pic so I can also go for it.
Thank you,
Yvonne Levy

I share with you this photo of my vintage Seiko 6M37-6010 SKB003P Yatch Timer wristwatch, recently restored to its original factory condition. I had a great time restoring it and especially wearing it on my wrist.

Excellent job with the restoration! This is a very nice watch and it represents the past Seiko models very well! A watch worth owning.
