On offer's a watch I didn't imagine I'd be letting go of, but I just don't get to it enough.
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, and it has been personalized (which conveniently dates the watch to June 1972). The original bracelet has 5 removable link and should fit up to a 7.5" or so inch wrist; the end links have folded-over edges, which I've read is earlier, if that's your thing. The pepsi bezel is in excellent condition, the internal bezel rotates as it should, and the original mineral crystal is scuffed.
DIAL+HANDS: All original and untouched. The only real flaw I can see is the slight rubbing around the edge of the subdial at 6. Otherwise everything is pretty incredible and, again, all original, with all lume bright, matching, and fading identically quickly after being activated.
MVMT: This was serviced three months ago; I'll provide the buyer with the details, receipt, and warranty. In the service, the most common problem that ruins 6139s was addressed—a barrel jewel was added, which'll make the watch work *much* longer, much more effectively. The watch is functioning perfectly, keeping excellent time, with the chrono starting/stopping/resetting crisply, and the quickset date and day both operating as they should.
This feels slightly bonkers, but the price, unless I'm missing something, is $2500; a better True Pogue went for more than $3k on ebay recently, and several much worse ones have sold for $2500+ in the last several months. I'm in Indiana/USA and am happy to work out payment+shipping methods with the winning buyer.
Thanks for looking, and to Jeff/CT for the community.
