A "True" Bruce Lee, Seiko 6139-6010?

My hunt for a "true" Bruce Lee is over. I am referring to the Seiko 6139-6010 model that was dubbed after the popular actor-martial artist who owned one and wore it regularly. This was not the Speedtimer variant, which was a Japan Domestic Model (JDM) but an international release. While one story goes where the watch was supposed to have been given by his mother who was based in Hong Kong, it seems the actor already had the watch prior to his mother's visits to the US when she gifted him with many other items. Read for yourself about the watch and the documentation based on various photos showing the actor wearing the watch. Here is a link to the article on the watch worn by the late Bruce Lee: https://www.dcvintagewatches.com/the-seiko-6139-true-bruce-lee

The watch features a black dial, day and date complications and the Water 70m proof at 9 o'clock. This is a "proof-proof" model, so-called due to the proof on the dial and the Water Proof indicated on the case back. The hand set are accurate.

This is the correct strap for this piece. I actually got this from my 6139-6012.

The case back indicating the watch to have been manufactured in September 1969 - consistent with the model worn by Bruce Lee. Incidentally blue variant was also made in September 1969.

Of course, my watch does not have (yet) the Stelux bracelet like the one in Bruce Lee's photos. Mine also doesn't have the Chinese or Hong Kong day wheel (Spanish and English on mine). Still, I am content with the acquisition and especially on the condition of the watch.
