I know it is on the bottom of the value pole of my collection, but every new watch brings some excitement.

This is a 1970's model Seiko with an auto movement. It is in incredible condition for the age and will get some good wrist time. It even has some lume left.

I like it, it's got a look that says, Hell yeah I'm from the 70s!

David, that is a classic Seiko and I would say most definately that it is not at the bottom of anyone's collection :)

In fact, I have very fond memories of mine, which had the orange dia back in the 70'sl and I would go as far as saying that it was that piece that started me on the slippery slope!!! LOL

I hope that you enjoy many more years of it's company. :)

Nice!!

Excellent choice!

Maybe lower in value but high in owner satisfaction.

BYW, it's easy to pop off the bezel to line up the tacky.

Is it the same process as the Sub or ?

Yes, just take a exact o knife blade between the bezel and case to start the process. Then take a thicker blade to work around the edge. Once it pops off, make sure the gasket is in the correct position and place the 60 mark at 12:00. It will take a press to get it seated correctly though.
I use a small vice my dad made.

Is the case supposed to have a rubber gasket under the caseback? Also, how about gaskets around the crown stem and chrono buttons? I took this in the shower and got a little fogging so I had to take the case back off and let it dry out.

Fantastic watch! Since I recently got my 6139 from service, it simply don`t leave my wrist!
Wear it in a good health!
