Where the hell am I? :: stuff - watches - Seiko 6139-6012 Chronograph

This one is "the watch I thought would never show up." I bought it on July 6th and as I sometimes do, I did not pay attention to where the seller was located, in this case it was Buenos Aries. You know, I've heard of it, but never really thought about where it is. Anyway, the watch took quite some time to arrive and I finally got it on August 15th.

Overall, the watch was in so-so shape. It did not really run to speak of, actually, and the crystal was in bad shape. I finally managed to get it serviced and refinished so that it could be wearable (thanks to Keaton).

I think the case back might not be original - the other 6012's I have seen have a different look, this might actually be a 6139-6030.
