Is this SeikoSpeedtimer Pogue worth the hype?

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

The color combination of the pogue is definitely one of my favorites. That gold/ yellow dial is 😘👌

Got mine from Brian - love it and a custom leather strap that he’s working on now with matching threading’s. This puppy is so photogenic and really pays “homage” to the Original. That said. It’s really cool and I enjoy it a ton! Yellow dial is 🏁

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

@@MyRucstar Congrats man, I’m glad Bryan sorted you out!

[@daninoa1]

People stop hating! I rather have a homage reliable watch for $700 than a vintage unreliable pogue for $1000+ A watch is a tool period.

[@drticzon]

My parents bought my 6139-6005, December 1975 for $145 at Macy's. It is still my everyday watch, and was recently serviced on Blair Watch Channel on KZbin. I saw this reissued version last night at my local AD. I had my 1975 Pogue on my wrist, and did not pull the trigger to buy the reissue. Nice review.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

@@drticzon Congrats 👏 and thank you for the support!

Found a new yellow SeikoSpeedtimer at the Camp Pendleton MCX yesterday for $475. Just couldn't resist it at that price...has the yellow dial. In 2015 found a 1976 blue dial Pogue at a thrift store. The clerk was bringing it out to the display and I noticed it was a Seiko...I asked how much he wanted and he said "Two ninety-nine" and I said jokingly "$299.00" and he said no "$2.99". I didn't know anything about the watch until I realized it was an automatic and then I looked up the model.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

@@yayafan dang what a bargain 👏

[@mediastarguest]

The current Speedtimer in Pogue finish is a nice-looking watch but the original Pogue is an icon that can never be matched. On top of that the 70s Pogues were automatics that were outrageous value for money at that time.

[@SeikoLeaks]

the new pogue looks like the vintage Seiko Aussie Pogue it was a region exclusive in Australasia and had the same black chapter ring. love to see them coming back with it

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

@@SeikoLeaks wasn’t aware of that model, thank you for watching

Who doesn't love the Pogue! The iconic dial and case is awesome! I like the new version but other than the mustard dial I dont see much of the Pogue in it. I still think its an awesome watch though! Thanks for sharing Miguel! Have a great day man!

@@johanvandersandt8904 Agree my man and thank you 🙏 for the support!

Great video brother. Love the intro. While it may not be an exact reissue to the OG, at least there’s enough similarities for it to be a fun “close enough” modern piece.

Looking forward to have one whenever it launches in India. I have Seiko 5 Sports Pogue edition.

@@ManvendraSK Nice 👍🏼 and thank you for watching!

[@fungus70]

Maybe it should be made with 2 sub dials by removing the 24 hour display. Dial will be less cluttered.

[@youwebz]

Can they have an anti strap swapped onto them please?

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

I’m sure you can, thank you for watching!

For anyone wondering $71 in 1973 is equivalent to about $520 in 2024.

I have an original Pogue , I have also bought a new one as well , for me £600 - was a lot , it is a great watch , however if I had the new one for a 2 day trial I would not have bought it .

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

@@simonharrow5485 Thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏼

[@RondelayAOK]

The case is the thing

[@WMIYC]

Clearly inspired by, but not a Pogue. Though I’ve always liked the case of the Pogue, it’s just a mm or so too big on my wrist for my taste. I do have other smaller 6139s that are among my favorite watches.

Whoa a 6 month waitlist? Seiko is moving up in the world! Here’s hoping for my Seiko AD to give me a call soon, loving how faithful the colors on the yellow dialed model are to the original 6139.

@@SoCalWatchReviews my pleasure! Actually ‘our’ pleasure would have been more accurate as everyone who was still at the office watched it along. I think I better start asking Seiko money for all this influencing.

[@molarrr]

I called my AD on the 14th of august and was told end of august. We’ll see, my AD isn’t a large seiko AD though. Mainly Rolex and Tudor. So that probably helped since they aren’t know for seiko watches.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

@@molarrr Good luck!

[@watchrolling]

While I like the idea of a vintage Pogue, I'd rather go with the modern interpretation at this point in my enthusiast journey. Now, if there was a "Neo-VIntage" Pogue... Great video brother!

@@watchrolling Agree with there 👍🏼 thank you for the continued support my brother 🙏
