In this video I look over a very rough SEIKO 6139 chronograph. This is part one in the restoration story of this watch.

Will be good to see how you get on. I’m still to do a 6139 and need to break my duck. I’ve a nice 6139a to do which I think will run again although I am still a bit worried about the rebuild, especially hand fitting ( someone lent me one of your 6139 movement holders)
I’ve also a helmet to do but the chrono wheel 6139b is proving hard to find at an affordable price.

Watching with interest Adrian

hi. Great video . purchased a broken 6139- 6002 from auction £110..GPB.one pusher and the winding balance loose in the bag. thanks to your very informative info pusher back in. working fine. sweep hand zeros perfectly . day/ date ok .inner ring rotating but badly faded hands are original . i have the dark blue/black dial but the sweep hand looks yellow. second hand red teardrop shape. i think i need a spring for the pusher i just put back. movement is good still ticks away even though i have no means of winding yet . need the correct screw to hold the winder in. keep up the good work. coming to Aussie in January for a couple of months proper summer. Cheers.

Great video, I look forward to the rest in this series. I see from your reply to a comment below that you plan on doing the arbor jewels during the rebuild...I would really, really love to see a "how-to" video on that process! I have a lot of 6309s and 6306s that need it done and I'd love to learn how to do it myself...I have the proper tool set, but haven't worked up the courage to try it yet. Also, any idea when you might have more of the jewel sets back in stock and available for purchase? Thanks!

Hey Adrian, great video, thanks for this. Do you reuse the pusher springs?

Do you think it will need the arbor jewel? Do you see problems with the tip of the centre seconds wheel? I also noticed there are heaps of variations of chrono plates and wheel heights in different market 6139s. Makes it annoying to mix and match.

Can anyone else quietly hear AVE in the back of their minds when it wont focus?
