Landed 2 Nice Seikos...


Recommended Posts

I like the silverwave dial and case but not sure on having the entire caseback text stamped into the bezel. Maybe just the model name?

 

I like the bezel stamping but never realized until I looked closer at this one all the info that is stamped on it .

I like the mesh band on it and the case resembles the Seiko 6139 chronograph "Helmet " or "Darth "Vader"..I've attached a pic of that model . 

Also , I like the Silverwave line . I have a few in quartz and automatic .

Those 6139's yours?

The Helmet is one of my mini grails along with a Pogue.

 

Yes they are . The one with the Herring bone bracelet was a basket case when I got it  . It took me a while to learn to learn how it works , put it together , and make the small adjustments to get it to work and reset properly . I picked the other one up recently for parts or repair...$56... A case tube for one of the pushers must have been replaced a little crooked , because the pusher got stuck each time you pushed it. I reamed and polished the inside of the pusher and it was good to go .

 I've attached a pic of my Pogue . It's a water resist . They first came out with water proof , shortly after with water resist , and then no markings .

 

I've also attached some pics of a couple of other Seiko Silverwave models . I have some quartz models stashed away someplace .

I have one of those Silver Wave analog/digitals myself... Same model as yours. I bought it new, but have forgotten what year that was.

       Hi Gryf, is yours still working ? I got mine earlier this year for around $100 more or less .

You can get the production year and month by the serial number... I think the link below will tell you for most Seiko's with the 4 digit hyphen 4 digit = xxxx-xxxx = caliber - case #....and the serial # , both of which should be on the case back .

Hi, Ricardo -

Yes, my Silver Wave analog/digital is still working like new. Funny though, when I traced the numbers using the site you mentioned, it came up as "unknown". FYI, the caliber/case numbers are H239-5040 and the serial is 0D1496. I notice now that the analog dial is very slightly different from yours. Aside from that, they appear to be identical.

Thanks for the reference,

Gryf

Hpwzit Gryf ,  OK then . That production calculator didn't work for our Seiko Digitalis [ I'm surprised ] , so here's another source that lists your model as 1980..

 

Have you got a pic ? I'd like to see it .........Laters , Louis

    • Interesting interpretation of "traditional". I would say that Loctite is definitely the up-to-date and appropriate stuff to use, however, it is a relatively modern solution. Before the advent of such esoteric solutions I believe that the "traditional" thread locker of choice may well have been a sugar solution. Once applied the water would evaporate and the sugar would crystalise, locking the threads tight.
    • @steve1811uk close but no cigar 🙂 I don't smoke anyway. I checked in my stock of parts and that's the closest I got to your dimensions. Good luck in your search. @RichardHarris123 I have an accumulation of all sorts of odds and ends that I acquired as a result of buying up the tail ends of old watchmakers estates. Usually after all of the great stuff has been stripped out, which means that the sweepings off of the workshop floor can be had for peanuts, but if you have the patience, can often be found to contain gold (both literally and figuratively 🙂 ). These came to me through on of those purchases. I doubt that I will personally be able to make use of even 10% of my accumulated stock, but having it, and knowing what I have, means that I can at least pass bits on to those who can use it whenever possible.
    • Hi and thank-you for your suggestions, as per Mark's instructions I checked my browser "Safari" and spell check and grammar was not ticked. So all sorted. Thanks CJ  
    • As an alternative, clear nail Polish, the advantage is you can have a manicure at the same time. 
    • I use Grammarly. It works really well and If English is not your first language, you will also receive help with formulations. There is a free version that covers most of my needs. It installs as a plug-in and works with all browsers and word processors.
