FS: BIG SEIKO BULLHEAD ref. 6138-0049 AND ref. 6138-0040 AUCTION

Hi guys,
I decided to sell my two very nice and honest Seiko Bullheads ref. 6138-0049 and 6138-0040.
Both are in great condition with all the original parts.
So dial, hands, bezel, crystal, movement, crown and pushers are 100% original.
The 6138-0049 has the original bracelet; the 6138-0040 I am not sure ( it's possible it is a later one ).


1) Seiko Bullhead ref. 6138-0049 ( see pictures beneath )

This Bullhead is in my opinion the best of the two.
It has not only all the original parts ( also the bracelet is the original one ) it's also completely untouched.
By this I mean the case has never been polished. Also the dial and hands are untouched.

So the case is really stunning. Don't get mislead by the scratches you see in my very high-resultion pictures.
Scratches are very superficial and what's more the case still has it's original form with the bevelled edges super sharp.
Believe me it's not easy to find these Bullheads with a case that has not been polished. And to me it makes a very big difference.
A Bullhead that has the lines between the different parts of the case completely gone is worth nothing to me. It's just terrible to look at.

Dial and hands are just fantasic. Just look at the pictures and you'll see what I mean.
Bezel is in good condition with that stunning maroon color.

Mechanically the watch is working 100%; keeping very good time; great power reserve; chrono working and resetting as it should;
Setting time and day/date also perfect. The watch has just been fully serviced by my watchmaker. So no worries for the years to come.

Price: accepting offers starting from 750 euros ( I am including an insured shipping )
( highest offer takes the watch; I am reserving the right to end the bidding at any time )









2) Seiko Bullhead ref. 6138-0040 ( see pictures beneath )

Second watch is pretty much in the same condition as the first apart from the fact that it got a very light case polish.
It makes that the case has less scratches tough I personally prefer my watches untouched.
It looks much cleaner and still has it's original shape and bevelled edges.
So I want to make very clear that this is not the kind of Bullhead you see on Ebay with a case that has been totally ruined.
Pictures show very clear the case is in a great condition.

Dial and hands also great with the tip oh the minute hand that has lost a very little bit of its white paint.
( very easy to correct and really hard to see in real )

Mechanically the same story as the first watch. Also completely serviced by my watchmaker.

All the original parts; bracelet I am not sure. I will leave that to the experts.

Price: accepting offers starting from 650 euros ( I include an insured shipping )
( highest offer takes the watch; I am reserving the right to end the bidding at any time )
( I give a full refund in case of any problem or if the watch should not be as described )

Best regards,
Bernard
