... even if I have no idea about the question you're making reference to ? 
You are very lucky to own a 5719. Is it a white or black bezel ?
I have myself an early 6139 from sept 1969.
Its only interest, to my eyes, is being one of the first automatic chronograph ever produced, considering Seiko issued this movement on april 1969, same time as the El Primero and/or cal 11 (no debate on about who was the first to come ) .
Seiko made a huge amount of various watch through the past decades, and there are still jewels to dig in it. The 7016 "Monaco" chronograph is certainly one of them.
Good hunt
Cheers

Review of ...
.. a pair of vintage Seiko SilverWave. Hello there, This is my first review ever on PuristsPro, and these watch are certainly not "luxurious wristwatches for collectors and buyers", so please be indulgent with me (and pardon my poor written english)... we...
great review of a great brand Ludi
i'm a bit of a Seiko fan myself, i like their in-house calibres, i like their designs, i like their dating system which makes it easier for me to find the correct year (1964) for me. this review shows that they were innovative with their dive watches. the...
Beutiful Seiko and great review ...
Ludi, Thank you very much for the introduction to another Seiko that I didn't know. The one with the black bezel is a wonder! I feel sorry that here where I live, the most common vintage Seiko is always a chronograph. Cheers, Nilo

Many thanks gentlemen...
... for your kind answers I'm not a big Seiko fan myself but I found this particular model interesting enough to focus more on this brand. The result is I'm tracking down a nice single button 5719 chronograph from 1964 (don't like the 5717 though)... No r...
hi Ludi, i happen to have a 5719 from 1964
it has the plastic bezel and is in excellent condition apart from the bezel which shows wear, but what can we expect after 48 years. there is one Seiko chronograph that i'm looking at and have wanted for a while even though it doesnt fit into any of my co...

check your pm's fred and ignore the one i sent you. i've got 20 minutes on the Monaco 7016, but not sure if i need to spend the money. best G
sorry i forgot to mention the bezel
i've got the black bezel. i know that Bill Sohne has the steel bezel, but i've never seen a white bezel not that you see many of them at all. i'm giving the 7016 a miss. i've seen them before so i'll see another one when i've got more pennies in the piggy...
Great review, Fred! :)
The black dial version looks very nice! Hm, I need to start learning more about Seiko... Best Blomman
