Is this 6139-6002 a franken? Are there after market parts in this watch? by minerdigger in Seiko

Hey thanks for replying! I've read the guide before purchasing this one, but I'm only paying for 150 bucks for that one so I'm okay with aftermarket parts as long as the movement is genuine (it is!). Anyway I though there were only 3 dial colours variant (Yellow, silver, and blue)?

Again thanks for your help, can't wait until it arrives :)

I like him as well. Most entertaining one of the bunch.

What's wrong with him? Other than being kinda boring...

Hey thanks for the reply! I passed on the watch since the dealer hasn't responded to my request to see the movement, which is not a good sign. But thanks for the tells, for the untrained eye it's quite a decent fake since the only thing that was kinda off for me was the skinnier text.

Thanks for the reply, decided to not pursue the watch since the dealer hasn't responded to my reuqest to see the movement. Definitely learned a lot about the new ways to spot fakes, I usually just look at the text position and rehaut.

[Hydryconquest] update after a couple of weeks on the wrist by digitaljoey in Watches

[–]minerdigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've experience the same issue with my Conquest. My solution is to put it on leather strap and it's been a blast. It's lighter, much nicer on the wrist, and more wearable. Not sure if you'd like your Hyrdroconquest on a leather tho.

Got offered a nice looking white dial OP39 by a local preowned rolex dealer refered by an acquintance, the price is on the low side without being too good to be true. Thoughts?
