Timekeeping is functional, though due to its vintage nature, a full professional service is recommended to restore optimal accuracy and long-term performance. • Chronograph System: The chronograph engages and operates, but will benefit from proper adjustment and servicing to ensure optimal reset and precision. The pushers are original and intact, and may occasionally require minor adjustment or repositioning due to age-related tolerances, which is common in vintage Seiko 6139 chronographs. • Case & Dial: The watch is presented in unpolished condition, preserving its original factory geometry, character, and natural patina. It has only been opened for inspection and timegrapher testing, confirming strong mechanical activity. • Inclusions: ✔ Watch head only ❌ No bracelet or strap included
