    CASE: 41mm steel tonneau case is in good, unpolished shape, with the original brushing evident on top and the original polishing on the sides. The serial numbers and reference are clear on the caseback. The pepsi bezel is in excellent condition, the internal bezel rotates as it should, and the original mineral crystal is lightly scuffed. This is being sold head-only; there is no bracelet.

    DIAL+HANDS: The hands and lume plot on the bezel both glow slightly less brightly than the hour markers, but they all fade identically; I'm pretty confident everything's original. The lume itself is in really excellent shape, as you'd expect from a Daini 6139, with no bruising or aging. The pictures are a better description, but this is an incredible watch in excellent condition (imo).

    MVMT: This came from a pawnshop; I know nothing about the watch other than that in the week I've worn it it's been great+has kept excellent time. The quickset day/date isn't consistent; sometimes you need to mess with the crown to get it to pop back out. The chrono starts+stops fine, and resets to zero, though the reset pusher sometimes sticks, too (incredibly common with 6139s). This is a long way of saying: the movement's complete, and no parts are missing, though it should be serviced if it's to be worn regularly.

    I know the market for Pogues (especially True Pogues) has been as up+down as everything else, so I hope I'm not mispricing this (please feel free to let me know if I am). The price is $1200 net to me; I'm in Indiana/USA and am happy to work out shipping and payment method with the buyer. Thanks for looking, and to OF for this invaluable community.

    Bump and a final price drop to $1k; below that price, I'd rather keep it.
