I got this Seiko 6138-8039 chronograph last week . Called the "John Player Special " after the Formula 1 car .

 I have since given it a spa treatment in the ultra sonic and installed a new crystal..

you don't see too many of these around. i'd like to get one someday. my brother used to be into F1 big time years ago. i'd like to get one and maybe pass it on to him.

I just saw one on ebay . It's a mechanical chronograph with two subdials similar to the seiko UFO . Check the condition and flyback on these .
