The dial looks aftermarket and the subdial hand is incorrect ,and bezel insert is aftermarket . And it looks far too polished to be of interest, save your money and do more research then take your pick as there are plenty more 6139s in the sea of Seikos . My 6139 6002 from July 76 , ( the bracelet is aftermarket ) .

Man, I owned a Pogue with the bronze dial back in high school and that was in the 1970’s. I asked my Mom recently to search for that watch in my left over belongings hoping that maybe she can find it. Great watch.

I have a 6139.6005 Pogue with the good dial but it has many aftermarket pieces, not a bad thing to me I appreciate the "like new" aspect. I appreciated so much this golden dial with the pepsi bezel, one of my favourite in my collection, I got more pleasure to wear this one than others that cost a lot more.

I will post a shot of mine very soon 😉

I have a 6139-6002 with a good, unpolished case that has also been restored with aftermarket parts. The restoration has been done well and I too like the watch for what it is and how it looks - it's a beautiful watch. It's currently being serviced, but will post a photo when I get it back.

Does it look a bit like this?

I have had a Pogue on the wrist and they are lovely, but it is such a minefield of aftermarket parts I cannot handle. I have a Bruce Lee blue dial as my 6139 these days, very early original Proof dial.

Hey guys. Any thoughts on this? Not a true Pogue but seems quite nice. 02 produced in ‘76. $950 all in. These are a minefield to me so any thoughts are much appreciated. I will say: photos include the dial back which confirms it was produced within a month of the case. Thanks! View attachment 1185661

Do you have pics of caseback and internal of the clasp?
Dial looks original and nice to me, case seems ok. Insert looks original but a closer pic might be useful.
Is the internal bezel rotating by the crown?

Thanks @bardamu Everything works I’m guessing and these photos were taken from a recent service. Here’s the caseback, insert, etc.

Shouldn't the bezel have a marker under 60 for a '76? Not certain on this, but remember reading that somewhere...

Bracelet and caseback look ok to me.
