I just bought one for $200. I hope it’s good or I’ll resell it.

As I have owned an original from the seventies since 1976 I can confirm the seconds hand is orange close to the colour code Ral 2004 I am trying to find an original bracelet if anyone has one let me know

[@hal0eight]

You'll probably never find one. I have the opinion they were never issues as spare parts as I've never, ever seen one for sale. Only the yellow, white, black, blood red and the two tone. Very difficult to find. I'd suggest stripping the paint and repainting it with an enamel paint that's pretty close. Humbrol/Revell do some good analogues for the colour. As for the bracelet, you'd need to take that off a scrapper most likely. Some of the ugly 7009's had a similar sort of bracelet as well, might be worth investigating.

My siko 6139 7080 has a different case and pepsi bezil did they make the 6139 7080 in different cases ??....

[@hal0eight]

Geday, no, someone has swapped parts around on your watch. Probably the case back on another case.

Vintage Time Australia realy im shocked it just doesnt make sense...

[@hal0eight]

I see it all the time, movements swapped into the wrong case or casebacks swapped around. It's very common.

[@elekn711]

Vintage Time Australia thank u for your information appriciated kind regards !!..great vid too..

[@kinshilp]

any idea how much would this cost now?

[@elekn711]

kinshi pas there about 250 to 500 depending on condition i paid 300 for mine

[@johny8145]

From my understanding the original chrono sweep is supposed to be black I thought but idk, reading mixed reviews

[@hal0eight]

Looked it up via contemporaneous SEIKO data, and the correct sweep hand colours for these are the lighter orange or the blood orange.
