Clear out today of very old stuff and came across my original instruction booklet for the Yellow Pogue I've had since mid 70s
It feels complete almost - now where did I put that bloody blue box! I knows its somewhere

Believe you’ve asked for me to provide a photographed/scanned copy of the instruction booklet on the forum.
Eh, no!
Jim
Why not?

As someone who is interested in the 'pogue' it would have been nice to see, and as the member of a 'watch forum' it seemed like a fairly reasonable request, but hey ho,,Originally Posted by Jimmcb

One of the things I quite like about the forum is the way that threads can sometimes head off in totally unexpected directions.
Swedefreak posted these on the SCWF some years ago N2.

Poor sportsmanship?
Not really, the issue of copyright presets itself.

No worries, life's too short.

I'm struggling with the idea that Seiko would object to the reproduction on a discussion forum of a manual for a watch which has been out of production for 40 years, let alone take legal action (if that's the concern).
I think we all are.

I’ve got one (along with the box, tags, warranty book etc)
Quite funny to see a pic of the ‘Seiko shuffle’ in the manual. I’ll happily put some pics up
For a Pogue?!
Now you're just boasting!
I recently mailed Omega for a X33 manual. They didn’t have any hard copy left but kindly sent it as a pdf.
I know the late Chuck Maddox had posted it but as this one comes directly from Omega I’ll happily post it but need to find a way to change them in an IMG compatible format.

It’s for an early Proof 6139-6010 but the same box and papers being the 6139. I got the full set off the original owner’s widow after he’d recently died and the family didn’t want it. It’s even got the foam part inside the box and the spare links he took off when new.
What’s funny is the smell, the gentleman obviously kept it near his aftershave or other smellies as it’s got a strong smell of some cologne and every time I touch it the smell (nice) lingers about. I reckon I’ve had it a couple of years and it’s still really strong smelling, kind of strange thinking it’s like a sense of the owner too (probably sounds silly)
He’s probably haunting me as his Mrs sold his beloved watch he’d had since 1970!
I was wrong about the Seiko shuffle bit, that’s actually from the same age 6119 manual I have (another boxed one!) which is also pretty cool to have.

Utter tosh.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Are you for real? Why even say you found it if you don’t plan to share photos? I don’t get it.
I know I am.
F.T.F.A.
Come on lads we’ve all had a drink. I believe there’s a live Rolex thread if you feel like venting your spleen.
Anyway, I don’t hate OP for not posting pics, I hate him for owning a yellow Pogue when I don’t ;-)
Does copyright law even hold for product operating instructions? Does it expire 70 years after death of the author?
Strange we can post a photo of a watch but (possibly) not of the instructions.
Not to worry. Here's how to set the ignition timing on a mid 70's honda CB200 instead. Probably printed the same year.
