Is it as massive as it looks?

I think it is on his finger? Hence it looks massive.

Still deciding if I like this or not - it's certainly different.

Seiko 6139-7060 from Feb 1974; only available in Japan AFAIK.

Generally a good sign if it's JDM is that it has the jewel count on the dial.

[ewand]

Oh that one is definitely JDM (the Speed-Timer and Seiko 5 Sports logos were JDM only) - what I meant was, I don't think they ever made a non-JDM version of that particular watch (unlike the Pogue, for example, which was sold as JDM SpeedTimer and also simply marked as 70M Proof / Resist etc).

It's not that massive - I just have skinny wrists It's 39mm case width though it is quite thick and the crystal sits maybe 2mm proud as well.

Here's a comparison next to a 7a28, Pogue, Kakume (which is huge) and a Heuer Monaco, which feels huge.

Just bought this used one, and it is in mint condition. I changed the strap, and believe it goes really well with the red hands. The funny thing is that I bought the watch on eBay after a few to many beers, and panicked the next morning. Thank God it worked out OK

How many beers had you consumed when you bought the strap? ;-)

Different strokes I suppose. It had the original black leather croc on it, which I didn't like. I think the red rally strap looks great on it, but I suppose we don't all like the same things. Oh, I was sober for a change

I was only pulling your leg, no offence meant and I apologise if any was caused.

Anyone want one of these 2nd hand? Decent condition, boxes, papers etc but loses a minute a day and can't be bothered to send it off for a service.

Black one as in the picture?

Would be interested if it were a Pepsi.

Black I'm afraid.

What sort of money Phil?

[phil_cardiff]

Paid something like £120 so half that ono plus postage and I'd be happy.

If you're really interested I can dig out all the papers etc and take photos of it.

Too bad, would be too similar to my skx. Wouldn't mind a sea urchin at that price otherwise!

I’ve been wearing my Sportura all week.

I originally bought this on the leather strap with red stitching but managed to get an original bracelet from Seiko UK.

It’s a lovely piece and really weighty yet comfortable to wear.

That sounds like a good deal for someone. I've just moved so won't be buying it I'm afraid, but someone here ought to.
