New/Old Incoming

Many years ago my dad bought me a Seiko 6139, which I wore for a long time. At some point it stopped running and instead of having it repaired, I replaced it with my first Rolex. The Seiko went in a box. A few years ago I gave it to Henryj, who was interested in 6139’s. A few weeks ago Henry asked for my mailing address and today the 6139 arrived via USPS, serviced and running again.

Many thanks Henry!!

Cool story those old Seiko's are going up in value just about any thing vintage.

Thanks guys. Terry’s watchmaker did the service and Henry generously sent it back to me. I’m super grateful to have it back.
