Hi guys,
Ireally want to buy a Seiko 6138 watch, but buying vintage scares me a bit. There are several 6138s currently on eBay, ranging from around $200 up toa gorgeous blue one priced above $1K. Many have repainted hands andafter-market dials. How good are those? Anyone has any experiencewith these?
BTW,regarding maintenance, being vintage watches, I'm pretty sure that those willneed some fixes. Do you think that spare parts for that movement arecommon enough or are they a problem to find? Other issues that I should take into account?
Thanks.
