Omega Speedmaster Mark II - Racing Dial - c1970
zhlédnutí 296Před 3 měsíci
Here's a Speedmaster Mark II I had for about 7 years; it had been serviced by a previous owner and the dial/hands were replaced with Racing Dial variants. I had the case refinished at Swiss Time Services to bring back the original sunburst finish.
7 Tissots from the 70s (and '69)
zhlédnutí 283Před 9 měsíci
Tissot is often under-rated; a sister brand of Omega, they're a bit like Tudor is to Rolex or VW is to Audi. Here are 7 very similar-cased Tissots from the late 60s and early 70s, featuring manual-wind Lemania chronograph movements or automatic in-house Tissot ones.
How to polish a badly-scratched watch crystal
zhlédnutí 645Před 11 měsíci
Wet-sand polishing an acrylic watch crystal - I took a dud watch with an acrylic crystal to show a technique for how to restore a badly scratched crystal using various grades of sandpaper. It takes a few minutes and with a final going over with plastic polish, has restored the crystal to usable condition.

If you continue to move the hands in this manner, the only thing you will achieve is to destroy the clutch of the watch.
"flat" you mean concave?
Smoother than a rolex❤
Re 7:08, my brietling cosmonaute is also having the plastic Delrin Brake and the extra jewel, just like the one you show on the Heuer, any idea why? Thanks!
Breitling's Cal 12 movement was also based on the Lemania 1873... www.donindiano.net/watches/breitling/cosmonaute/movement
Way smoother than rolex wow
Do you still have these watches? Do you think there's a marginal difference in the crown size of the 'Bruce Lee' models compared to the classic Pogue style watches? I was wondering about this the other day as my own watch is a 1970 Seiko 6139-8000 and when I look at images of my watch it does appear that the crown on mine is marginally smaller than the ones on the 'Pogue" models. Unless of course it's an optical illusion.
hi - yes I do still have the watches; I've never thought to compare the crowns on the Pogue and the BL, but the Casing Parts Guide shows the 6001 as having crown 50M04N and the 6011 as using 40M16N, and the stems are different too. Your 8000 uses the same crown as the Bruce Lee but a different stem.
Thanks for the quick response. I bought my 6139-8000 recently from an online dealer. They must have done a phenomenal job of servicing and regulating it because in the 10 days I've had it it's only lost about 1 second!
Is this Boeing movement inside?
It's a Seiko Spring Drive movement...9R65 - www.grand-seiko.com/uk-en/collections/movement/springdrive
Clocks at the school are electric and does sweep movement
mains electric clocks sometimes do that (railway stations etc) - the reason why quartz jumps a second at a time is because doing effectively a sweep would nail the battery too quickly. Spring Drive effectively solves that.
Well for certain Bruce Lee, knew a great time piece when he saw one especially being a Seiko owner and having a Day/Date series.
Excellent video and content. It enabled me to be even better informed and know that the purchase I was thinking of making should be passed. Thanks for your time with development of this content!
for sale?
No, sorry
One of the best vintage watches
I got the 6012 gold plated! 👍🏻
watch is pure class but that's also a killer bracelet!
I have a question for the experts. Lets talk Seiko only. Is there any degree that an original watch can have a part that was either broken and repaired with an after market part or simply wore out and once again was not replaced with an original part but an after market part for whatever reason? Put it like this: lets say the second wheel inside our Seiko had broken a tooth and was replaced by a watch repairman on a lathe. Its obvious and aparent to any estute person that this gear is not one produced by Seiko but by someone or after market company. Is this then considered of not being 100% original and therefore worth considerably less or do we allow a single internal part not parts but one part to be accurately reproduced while still considering the watch and calling an original time piece worthy of a current collectors value? Because if you cant replace even one internal component that would never be seen while wearing the watch without having to call it now not original but having after market or custom repairs done to it would help me to then be hyper vigilant in recognizing every componant must then be original.
thank you for your sharing.

厳密には6011の1969年後期に発売されたほうです。ダイアル文字デザインが違います。
The 6011 actually came out later, in 1970. It overlapped the move from 6139A to 6139B movement, starting mid 1970 and was replaced in early 1971 with the 6012.

This is THE BEST video for anyone interested in 6139-600x watches!
I enjoyed those very much. I kinda recognized my collecting habit in those. I have collected 22 vintage chronographs so far and have halted unfortunately due to the crazy prices
thanks! In some ways the crazy prices just drive collectors to new brands... when Omega Speedmasters are $6k and other contemporary chronos are $600, there's still a lot of fun to be had 🙂
That's such a nice looking watch. Might have to start to track one down. thanks for the video..
I know it's an old video, but what a wealth of information! I'm currently on the hunt for a 6139-600x and found the video super-useful.
thanks :)
It's still jumpy
Neat! Thank you.
Could you imagine a Seiko 5 today having an "automatic chronograph". It's such a luxury now.
these pogues are something of a minefield
Lindo! Atemporal ❤

Thanks your details to recommend the movement of lemania
I have my late fathers old Pogue in a drawer somewhere ill have to dig it out, are they worth anything?
In good shape, they can be - some special ones are well into $1000+ category but even reasonably sorted ones will be knocking on that. Trouble is, if your watch is needing a service, that could easily cost half of what it's worth, if not more
Thank you, i have learned more from your video about what information is correct watch items history . i checked out your See more on , and was not disappointed i found a lot of answers to questions no one could help . cheers .

I have a Mk ii Racing from 1970. If you want to fit a NATO to this watch you will need a set of Omega curved spring bars because without them you are stuck with only the bracelet.
I've had quite a thick leather strap on this watch before and it was fine... I'm sure it would take a NATO quite easily?
How is it so smooth? Edit: I just watched a video on how it works and my mind is blown.
Because Spring Drive 😀
What video did you watch? Just curious and interested. Thanks again 🤙
@@SSNmylifeaway I think it was this one: czcams.com/video/jVoRoK1u3Dg/video.html
@@JoeyTen Nice man that video was very informative I never knew exactly how they all operated. Thanks again 🤙
hi, I was just wondering I bought two of the brown dials one of them the bazel is black other one is blue. do u think is a proof bazel on the brown ones
The inner bezel on the brown dial should be black; if you have a blue one, then at some point it's been replaced (or maybe the movement/dial was put into a different case that had the blue bezel installed)
So seiko is the space watch and omega is the moon watch. Who will be the mars watch. ?.

Any of these for sale?
Thanks for sharing, I have a Heuer 1153 and my crown doesn't seem to come out, any advice on this? The crown is so small I feel like I'm going to break it
I'd get it serviced by someone who knows what they're doing...
I bought the yellow dial version in 1971, and the blue dial some years later, I still have both in good running order. I want however to put the original price in context, because, contrary to popular belief, these things weren't cheap. The UK retail price back in 71, a heady £45.00. At that time you could have picked up a new Breitling "Top Timer" for £29.00, a Rolex "Submariner" for £98.00, a Rolex "GMT Master" for £101.00, or a Rolex "Cosmograph" for £122.00. It's undeniably a great watch, and I love mine dearly, but in investment terms, it really has bombed!
Wow, that's an interesting comparison. If you look at the 1969 USA catalogue on www.watchhunter.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/1969-Seiko-Catalog.V2.pdf, the yellow and blue 6139s were $100 (or about $800 in today's money), whereas the 6105-8110 was only $95. I bet you wished you'd bought a few Daytonas at £122 each :D
@@VintageWatchAdvisors Actually, at that time you couldn't give them away!
Had my yellow no letters at 9 since 1973 high school still runs.. serviced once by seiko.. love how inner timer functions turns ..paid 88 dollars for it.. new..my dad was angry soo costly of a watch so he had friend get me one at cost... Hey dad it still works 49 years later..
And your $88 in 1973 would be worth about $600 now; try finding a good, honest yellow Pogue for that nowadays :)
looks new...
Does anyone know what an AD on a 6139-6010T dial mean?
Not definitively. On some Seiko dials, AD is thought to mean applied (metal) markers vs painted on, and v early 1969 JDM dials were marked 6010T AD but that AD was dropped - nobody seems to know why...
On the R dial - silver pogue. Where does the 38 minute marker appear in the word JAPAN? between the first A and P or between the P and second A?
between the P and A - see postlmg.cc/06DpgBbb
@@VintageWatchAdvisors thanks!!
I've just bought a 6139-6001 with kanji day. Didn't know they had this.
Una pregunta en cuanto lo compraste
My gold pogue says proof on the dial,so i guess its an early one?
If it's original, then yes - it should be a -6000 or -6001, and the serial number would start with 9 or 0. There are lots of aftermarket PROOF dials out there though...
me gustaria cambiarle el cristal de mi seiko 6139 6010, podrias decirme las especificaciones del cristal para comprar el repuesto y no equivocarme.Muchas gracias por el video
6139-6010 uses a 330W18GN (same as the Pogue -600x). If you can't find one, a Sternkreuz XMD 330.821 is a good substitute.
man that gold Pepsi is definitely on my list.
Be very careful - most of the eBay yellow Pogues are all made up of aftermarket parts :(
@@VintageWatchAdvisors it will probably be one of those watches I cough up a premium for to make sure that it's legit...
Una consulta saben dónde lo puedo vender
Is the Lemania 5100 the same movement as the ETA c01.211?
Supposedly the ETA c01.211 is based on the Lemania 5100 but a more modern interpretation of it. watchbase.com/eta/caliber/c01-211
I have that exact watch but it has some water damage, any advise on how to get it fixed and working again
I'd contact Simon Freese Watchmakers (www.simonfreesewatchmakers.com/) and see what he can do. Expect to pay ~£350 for a service + whatever parts you might need.
