Panda Time…..Finally...

[ricardopalamino]

Well I finally was able to scratch an itch for a watch I have tried numerous times to get and had come up short on those occasions . 

That watch is a Seiko 6138 - 8020 "Panda " Chronograph . 

The more I saw this watch and kept missing my chances at acquiring one , the more I wanted one.

The pics are the sellers and he apologized that some of the pics had a yellow hue . He said he had it serviced a few years ago , wore it for 12 month , and it has been in a drawer for the last 2 years . 

 

The Watch :

 

 

I think the day usually comes in 2 languages and I can see Sun in red letters . I'm curious if there is another language and what it is .  I made an offer and didn't hear back from the seller for a few days so I figured the offer was too low for them compared to what they were asking . I feel it doesn't hurt to make an offer and see what happens , and sometimes you get a surprise . 

I can add this to my collection of other Seiko automatic chronographs . So far I have 2 Pogues and 2 Helmet/Vaders ……Maybe another Panda is in the future ….

Very nice and is surely worth a bunch. Recently seen a 6138-8000 in junk conditions, glued crystal, short bracelet,  sell for YPJ 157,000 !
