Very early Seiko 6139-6000 JDM Speed Timer (proof/proof)

[Styles Bitchley]

Up for sale is my rare Seiko Speed Timer - one of the earliest examples released in Japan. Here's what makes it so cool:
-Serial ( 948390) dates it to March 1969! (one of the very earliest examples)
-All original, except for bracelet and seals.
-runs great.
-Known history (It's been in my family since my grandfather purchased it on a trip to Japan in '69.)
-Original second hand (many were replaced)
-Original metal ringed crystal (almost all have been replaced)
-Kanji/English date wheel.
-Original dimpled crown.
-Day/date push function operates flawlessly.
-Timer buttons operate perfectly (second hand resets perfectly to zero)
inner bezel ring rotates perfectly.
-Original Pepsi bezel is in extraordinary condition
-Case has very sharp edges and is in extraordinarily good condition for its age. Has original brushed top and polished sides.
-Proof/Proof
-6139A 21 Jewel movement

Things to note:
-Lume rot on minute hand (not many examples without this)
-Lume missing completely on hour hand. I removed it as it started to crumble. No dust or particles in the movement.
-Comes with Uncle Seiko 19mm President bracelet, with both hollow (fitted) and solid (finicky) 6139 end links.

USD 950. Buyer pays shipping. Bank transfer or PayPal plus fees. Will consider partial trade for Rolex 1680 Mk3 bezel insert.
