What to look out for in vintage watch?

Hi all~

been wanting to get a vintage watch (was thinking a 6139 or 6138)

saw quite a few up on ebay and mostly are from Philippine or Thailand.

i've seen ppl selling watches specially mention that theirs are not refinished philip watches... anything wrong with those from there :?:

Re: What to look out for in vintage watch?

best is u post the link here & we will let u noe

but since u mentioned is from pinoy, probably dial,hands are all aftermarket parts, overpolished case etc

wat u pay is wat u get, lol

the chronos might hv issues when resetting, this is common ;)

best is, get an all original 6139/6138 if you are planning to get an auto chrono as ur 1st piece :)

Re: What to look out for in vintage watch?

hi all, i have started to look at vintage seikos online recently. found out from the WUS forum that loyswatch does a fairly good job of restoration of old seikos. wondering if its worth it to get a similarly priced bullhead
