You are right to be a little doubtful about that one, hour and minutes hands are wrong, minute register hand is wrong, crown is also wrong, dial is probably original.
there are many 6139's like this on ebay with a multitude of either wrong or aftermarket parts, most of the asian sellers will tell you what parts have been changed but not all, there are also a couple of UK sellers who make a point of being vague about what aftermarket are fitted, and that's being polite, you can easily spot the UK sellers of the junky ones by their use of the words "Huge" and "excellent" in their auction titles, it's also worth checking the feedback of individuals from the uk who are selling vintage seiko chronos for feedback from the two main UK sellers of tat as sometimes these people are selling their watches as all originals because of what they have read or been lead to believe by buying from those two jokers, there is at the moment a 6138-0030 being sold on the bay which if you check the questions asked bit you will see someone has asked about aftermarket parts and has been told it's all original, this is cobblers, I can't say whether they are really aware it's not original or they are just selling it on using the same misleading description unaware it's a dogs dinner. either way be aware
