Description
For your consideration is a May 1973 6139-6012 “Bruce Lee” Automatic Chronograph. All components original to this watch (dial, hands, case, pushers and all mechanical components).
Condition
The watch is in excellent working condition. The case remains unpolished and I would rate the condition as very good. The dial is original and all hands are original to the watch. The dial is the text free Black “Bruce Lee” style. The dial back date is the two months prior to the caseback (32) — see images. The dial and hands retain their original lume with a small repair to the 7:00 index. The chronograph hands reset exactly to their vertical positions. Bracelet is an Uncle Seiko branded “railroad” style. The crystal is a new Klein Hardlex replacement.

Service
I serviced this watch on 11/10/2022. 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 $180 upgrade). Lubricants are Moebius synthetic varieties appropriate for this watch movement type. The amplitude numbers are 230 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.
