As a watch collector, you inevitably discover the awesomeness that is the Seiko 6138/6139 chronograph. From “Pogues” and “Bullheads” to everything in-between, these vintage chronos are horological and design gems, and unlike the rest of the vintage market, they still haven’t jumped to astronomical heights as far as pricing is concerned.
