I'm starting to really like vintage pieces, about a year or so ago I started to look for a bullhead chrono, I wanted 1 that has'nt been overhauled , so I've been in contact w/ a man in the Philippines, finally struck a deal, it's all original w/scratches & all, the bracelet is new old stock, but dial,hands,crystal is all original.The patina on the dial & hands is way cool IMO...my love.gif











In ALL it's glory

William...Very sweet Seiko arrival!!!party.gif

I have 'almost' pulled the trigger on a 6138 Bullhead Chrono a half or dozen or so times!!!subtlelaugh.gif  (There was a period where I had some focus, and then got distracted by watches x, y, and z).

This is a really great looking 'original' example, and the NOS bracelet is a nice touch.  Would love to see a wrist shot...please do tell me (since I've read a bit of different information on the 6138 regarding the true case size)...this one is quite thick I've heard, but I've seen case dimensions of 40mm, 42mm, and 44mm excluding crown...would love to know what the case diameter really is!!!

Congrats on this very cool vintage piece!!!thumbsup.gif  Love it!

Congrats, that's a great looking watch and I love to see unique vintage shapes.  The fact you found it in original condition is even more impressive (I briefly considered one last year but kept running into replacement bezels, wrong hands, etc).

It's a beauty William...I'm assuming your typo references 'mm' and not 'cm'...maybe that's why I haven't seen a wrist shot yet!!!subtlelaugh.gif

Love the crown at 12 on this one...very cool!!cool.gif

Sweet wrist shot William!!!  Looks really great!!!thumbsup.gif 

The original ad noting the 48x42cm (including crown) dimension would be referencing an 18.9x16.5 Inch watch...subtlelaugh.gif...yes, I'm a bigtime geek...but that would be a big one!

(Thanks for the wrist shot this late at night)!
