Urgh. Forgot I wasn't wearing my Seiko diver, and took the Seiko chrono into the shower. Well, it says "water resistant" on the back, but apparently after 40-odd years the seals are not to be trusted, because now there is lots of condensation under the crystal. So, watch is going to a watch repair place for a service, new seals, new crystal, etc. Ideally I'd have it relumed but I don't know if the local guy does that (and does it well).

Edit: well, the local guy doesn't work on 6139s. It looks like this is going to be a DIY job. I have a watch case opener and other watch tools around here somewhere. At a minimum I need to get the case opened up and dried out, then I'll go looking for the parts.

Anyone have a good mail-in watch guy who knows vintage Seikos and has the seals, crystals, and other small parts?

Tabs, I browsed around the Seiko & Citizen Watch Forum and eBay, found a couple of 6139-6022 watches going for $150, but they were pretty minty and mine is not, hence the $20 price.
