What do you reckon is the best place to sell it?
I just bought more vintage Seiko today and I have to start thinning things(I will probably sell some 56KS too).

Where did you buy your Seikos? That seems a good place for selling.
Ebay, chrono24, reddit if you join.
Your watch is a nice watch to wear but not a collector's watch. There are tons of mismatched so-called Pogues with aftermarket parts or swapped dials, etc... Finding the correct reference in good condition can be a challenge. And a put together watch costs as much for service as a correct one, which is about $650 by a good watchmaker. Most people here who are looking for a Pogue want the real one so I don't think yours would sell unless it was cheap.
I spent a lot of time and money looking for and getting my watch serviced. People who trade in Seikos know the attraction for Pogues and try to sell inexpensive lookalike 6139s for the same money, which is unfortunate. It's a good example of needing to do research before you buy. Of course, if you know what you're getting and buy it for fun, that's fine too. But if you think you're getting something you're not (like a true Pogue), it can be an expensive and disappointing lesson.
Is servicing a chronograph that more difficult and time consuming compared to a non-chronograph? Honestly I am only getting started so I have no idea.

I use this man. He's very knowledgeable about Seikos and diligent in his trade. When it comes to watch service, you don't want the cheapest guy. It takes a lot of time and work. The only way to cut the time to fix it is to not do it correctly.

On the subject of Pogues, how correct does this 6005 dial look?

Hi Jim,
Did you remove the dial at all during your resuming works? In my experience the dials are date stamped on the reverse and this corresponds to the date stamp on the case back (first 2 numbers). A good indicator if the dial is genuine or at the very least contemporary with the case back
I was watching a couple Ashton Tracy videos and for some reason I started reading the comments. Some troll posted “that was the most clumsy watch service I’ve ever seen” Mr. Tracy took the time to reply, “put up your videos” kinda made my day for some reason. Guess I’m easily entertained.
I have found a Seiko pogue watch 6139-6001 serial number 003561 it's in really good condition doesn't look worn hardly photos don't do it justice . I've approached a dealer who said it's worth £250 , unless it's been serviced . It seems to work fine but if someone could maybe shed more light on the watch and lower serial number /value
The photos are not clear enough for me to determine authenticity. As it is, it appears authentic and in very good condition. It's not the American market 6139 like a true "Pogue", but that only matters for some collectors. It's a great price for what appears to be a great condition watch, even more so of that is an original Seiko bracelet.
There's a lot of info on the web. What are you thinking?
Hi thanks for replying we are thinking of putting it on eBay or an auction site but are trying to gage the starting price and where the low serial number and condition would count in its favour for price but if it's only a couple of hundred we'd just keep it . I added another couple of photos if it helps to identify.
Many thanks for replying
Kind regards
I thought you were trying to buy it but now you are trying to sell it. This is disingenuous.
I never said I was buying it I said I found It . It was in my uncles drawer It was my uncles that I found in a draw ! How am I being disingenuous? I'm trying to find out if the condition and serial number is relevant to price ! I think maybe you didn't read my original message properly or maybe I wrote it in a way you miss interpreted my question ??
