Congrats on your 6139-8020! Believe mine is a 1969 or 1970 model. I inherited it from my grandfather after he passed. I have the original rally bracelet still! Such a great watch, I always wear it for Seiko Sundays!

Nice. Mine looks to be from 1973 if the online serial number lookups are accurate. Unfortunately, mine didn't come with the original bracelet. Still, for a sub-$400 eBay find, I can't really complain.

One of the first of three different models that Seiko presented when they debuted the Spring Drive back in 200?. I forget the year. Bought new from a dealer in that year.

5M23-7A30 AGS Kinetic Titanium Scuba “Starfish Grey Ghost” with Kanji day wheel from October 1993. The button points the seconds hand to the power reserve.

I’m really pleased with this strap combo. It’s a Crown & Buckle desert tan, which has a bit of sheen that works well with the hands/markers.

Looks great! I bought a few from Crown & Buckle as well . Love their quality and the fact they pair so well with that watch.
