Description
For your consideration is an August 1977 6139-6012 “Reverse Panda Bruce Lee” Automatic Chronograph. All components original to this watch (dial, hands, case, pushers, crown, bracelet, and all mechanical components).
Condition
The case remains unpolished and I would rate the condition as excellent vintage. The dial is original and all hands are original to the watch. The dial is the beautiful Seiko matte black with a reverse panda sub registry. The dial is date stamped three months prior to the case back (75). The dial and hands retain their original Seiko factory lume. The chronograph hands reset exactly to their vertical positions. The crystal is a new and correct Klein Hardlex.

Service
I serviced this watch and that process includes a full cleaning and evaluation of all movement components and proper lubrication and the installation of two new jewels in the arbor ports (a $140 upgrade). Lubricants are Moebius synthetic varieties appropriate for this watch movement type. The amplitude numbers are 230-240 range and the rate is +/- 2 sec/day. The case back, pushers and crown all have new, and factory correct seals.
This watch comes with a 100% money back promise of originality and a 1-year limited warranty on the movement from the time of sale. Shipping is to CONUS through USPS 2-day. International is a flat fee using USPS international priority.
