Forgot to mention in the video - the array of different screws in this movement is incredible - seems like a different screw for nearly every fitting. Did anybody notice the mistake I made in the video and later it got rectified? Why not watch again and then comment below if you spot the mistake :)
In this video we take an extremely tired old 1960's Seiko Automatic 6216A gentlemans wristwatch and give it a fresh lease of life.
Film Free Decal Products used in this video - TYPE A: ebay.to/2JA95hm or amzn.to/2W0RCp4 I did not use the glue in this video.
Canon Laser Printer Used in this video: ebay.to/2LttiIq or amzn.to/2YsI4Ay or choose an alternative color laser but the highest resolution you can afford. e.g. 1200dpi

My grandfather gave me this exact watch 15 years ago (he died 2 years later). What a beautiful job you did there. For me, this watch is more than a watch, there are a lot of memories attached to it. Keep this channel growing and excuse my English, I´ve been like four years without using it and now I´m a little rusty.

My father had a Seiko just like that and he was buried with it, watching this gave me so many memories of him, because he was always wearing it. Thanks for restoring this watch, even if it wasn't worth the money, because there are more things in this world that is worth more than money.

Recently I took my elderly father to his local shopping centre to swap out the battery on his Seiko gold watch. He was informed by the key cutter/engraver/bong seller/watch repair dude that his watch was STILL under his 40 year warranty and the battery was free. He knew this because my dad filled out the warranty card and his local fixer has been in business for over 40 years. My mother bought him this watch 39 years ago. Totally amazing. I can't believe how comprehensive and clever the after-sales support is for an $80 dollar duty free purchase in 1980.

The screw that holds that cover plate in the keyless work (dont know what its called), that you're fitting exactly at 28:00 First you try to fit that with a screw with too fine thread pitch, and then with a screw with an oversized head. It needs to have a screw with the same headsize as that little bridge that holds the calender quick change wheel (at least I think thats what it does) I don't know where that misplaced screw originally fits, maybe on the balance bridge or escapement bridge.

The pawl went back on in the same direction and you didn't forget the click like I've been known to do. The only misstep I caught was when you tried to screw the setting lever spring(?) into the wrong hole but quickly adjusted it. Can you leave another hint or two? This will drive me nuts until I figure it out...! Big fan of the channel, by the way. You've helped me tremendously over the years.

22:30 Ha ha!... I laughed at your (and mine :0) OCD, being a watchmaker I knew you could never have lived with that naff #3

It is no OCD...just passion!!! ;) ...or maybe perfectionalism? or both.

Your craftsmanship & skill are to be commended. Plus, you are an excellent narrator. This is the first time I have seen a Dial restoration - now I know why this takes so long.

Human brains are fascinating, look how complicated the system of a small wrist watch.

I don’t know how you ever get that back together! Is there a repair manual for that movement you use?

I can not imagine the satisfaction of being able to do this. I am a perfectionist in everything that I do,and my most hated saying is " Time is money" doing a great job is just about all the satisfaction that I need. Unfortunately I need to eat and live,as we all do,so money is a must. I am just about the least materialistic person one could imagine,but the satisfaction of wearing that watch,after repairing it just blows my mind. Thank you for sharing this,and for not playing unnecessary distracting music.

Gotta love how they crammed it with useless jewels to buff the count up :p

Who else is like.. if this were me taking it apart...it's never going back together! I think half those parts can be 86'd and it'll still work!

I enjoyed watching every part of this video. I admire your perfectionism. I wear a Seiko square automatic which my wife bought me in the mid fifties.. still going strong and never serviced. Fascinating to watch your skill at work. John down under.
