I'm a watchmaker and specialise in Seiko's. That 6139 Pogue's a really nice example. Australian market with the black rotating inner bezel. The USA and European markets had a yellow inner bezel not black. That model, especially the yellow dial versions have gone up in value a fair bit over the past two years. Being on the president bracelet too is another nice feature as that was a upgrade from the standard Seiko bracelet. Be lucky.

Amazing. I restore quite a few watches and service them. However it's a good idea not to wind them as the lubrication could be contaminated or dried. also it's a good idea not to bump them harshly before servicing because even with the shock jewels the hardened or contaminated lubricants can still damage the balance staff pivots. Winding watches with contaminated or hardened lubricants can catch from gear to hear in the geartrain causing shearing especially in the winding gear. Even if you plan to wear one,. It may work for a while, then bam! Suddenly it can quit on you( if it hasn't been serviced). Especially if they have chronograph modules. Because one doesn't know whether the former owner used the chronograph much or just used the time aspects of the watch. Chronograph watches are very pricy to fix. Shortcut jobs don't cut it. Many watch repair techs around the city just use solvent without taking the movement apart especially chronograph watches ( if there are plastic parts some Seikos, solvents will soften the plastic). A true watch repairman. Disassembles the complete movement and cleans the parts thoroughly in a watch parts washer except for dials, plastic parts and certain watch hands ( I use rodico 6033)

If I may... as a Hobbyist Watchmaker I remain appalled at the little effort that is made to care for these pieces of our history. I have long since lost patience with collectors who reduce everything to dollars and cent. For instance that Miltary Navigation Hamilton in the box on a gimbel is from an era well before GPS and requiring accurate time to make sense of the information a sexton produced from the heavens. The Hamilton 992b, carried by bomber navigators are likewise of considerable historic value. Similarly the timers often used by gunnery observers to determine distance from observing the muzzle flash are collectable. OTOH this is not the first time that I have heard someone make much of a suspected gold case while entirely ignoring the movement. Any number of my Hamiltons, Illinois and Walthams are without cases often owing to the scrap value of the case. Just sayin.....

I now have many watches from Rolex to a Speedmaster Moon watch but I have never had a watch that drew so much comment as my Seiko Pepsi chronometer apart from its yellow face I set the day date to read in French which was considered really cool in the late sixties. I remember being called into the bosses office at work, I was told he wanted to see me I was wondering what I had done wrong but he wanted a closer look at the watch I was wearing the Seiko.and this was a guy who drove a Rolls Royce! Even when I started as a sales rep for Gillette in around 1974 it was still drawing interest and being commented upon. I still have it although it no longer works.

At one point, the high charge on watches over 17 jewels imported into the US resulted in watch makers reducing the jewel count on their movements destined for the US. Do not discount those movements as having no or lesser value out of hand without research. Nice haul for such a low cost. I'd estimate that you have made several thousand in profit from that batch assuming no major repairs are necessary to the working pieces.

A thing about the number of jewels in watch calibers: while you’re not completely wrong, you’re also completely right. The number of jewels in a watch doesn’t actually tell you anything about the quality, just the number of jewels inside. Like you said, the jewels are used as bearings for the pivots of the wheels inside the caliber (amongst other things). But watch manufacturers realized that “jewels” sounded fancy so they started to add useless jewels to the caliber just to crank up the number of jewels inside! (The “jewels” aren’t actually jewels by the way. Watchmakers have been using “synthetic ruby’s” since their cheaper and more durable)

The Seiko 6139 is probably the best one of the lot. It's not a true Pogue as a true Pogue will have a gold rotating ring on the inside, the black rotating ring has often only been found in Australia. We have a ton of them pop up over here. The dial and hand set on that one look amazing though, so someone will definitely grab that for restoration. A true Pogue will not have "Chronograph" on the dial, and will have "Water70mResist" on the left hand side as well. Still though, great watch. Very collectable.

A great find. One thing you can say about their previous owner; he definitely enjoyed wearing them.

Hello from Finland and thank you for sharing this video. What a great purchase with very nice finds. Hope it didn't cost to much ? Let us know when the good finds will be cleaned and repaired, I would love to see them in good condition. Already like the one you kept for yourself. Congratulation on this purchase. Best regards to you and your family, Pascal

I love the Hamilton watch with square face at 3:55. My Grandpa had a watch very similar.

That vintage Hamilton, Longines, and Omegas were remarkable

He didn’t even care about the Longines or Junghans, obviously not a watch enthusiast.

nice score - even with the repair costs you could make a tidy profit.
