A rare Seiko transitional period 1970 POUGE in good condition. This a very interesting /collectible iconic watch from 1970. During that year Seiko made some modest changes to the dial and case back. During the early part of the year the dial showed PROOF indicating (water proof) which was changed in approx july/august to RESIST indicating (water resistance) this lasted until the end of 1970 before it became the 6139-6002.
Another interesting fact relating to the 6139 movement is that over its lifetime this chronograph movement is known to suffer from excessive barrel bushing wear. Now the only way to carry out a 100% perfect service (so that the movement can carry on for another decade or so) is to fit specially made top and bottom JEWELS to the front plate and barrel bridge . This transforms the movement into a 19 jewelled movement and eliminates the plate wear issue. When buying the Seiko Pouge 6139 movement always make sure that this work has been carried out because if not ,it is always going to cause issues in the future.
