Join me as I strip down, service, repair and restore this vintage 1970s Seiko 5 with the 6119c Caliber movement installed. Let's see what performance we can get out of a decades old watch which has only been repaired at once or twice in it's lifetime. Spoiler Alert - this movement is remarkable.

You are not telling the truth. The requirement was not to spend any money on it, and you did spent a lot of your skills and work, not to mention lubricant and spare parts. So you did spent a lot of money, and I would have too. I'd give you any watch any day. I enjoy watching your restorations so much that I usually grab a glass of wine and spend an hour sitting in my computer watching you go through every step with so much detail. My God, is so relaxing. You have an amazing skill. Please never stop sharing.

Agreed! Been watching for 1 or 2 years. I got a $40 watch that would not set. I got tools, opened it up... Now i got spare parts! It's not easy takes Steady a hand and good eyee. I don't have either. I'll keep watching. Maybe ill try again.

@dattatrayariswadkar5371 3 года назад

Some times we approach to a wrong service centre n there is not currently of good service.What a nice guidance for the watchmaker to learn the right way of overhauling! I'm not a watchmaker,but always wishing to learn something new about some or the other technical know-how.At this age of 79 I'm happy by your convincing method.Hatsoff to you!

I have a 6119C very similar to that one, bought new in 1973 while I was in high school, and already developing a taste for interesting watches. I wore it all through university and my early career before falling for a gold Seiko LCD model in 1979. I passed the 6119 on to my brother, who returned it some time later, dead as a hammer, with the second hand rattling around loose under the crystal. He was hard on watches. Not long back I finally gave it a service, finding that the “magic lever” was broken. Replaced that, cleaned everything up, and... it’s still on the workbench, as the train wheel bridge absolutely refuses to settle into place. So I’ll watch this episode with interest. Okay... having watched this one through, I’m impressed yet again at the elegance of your work. At no point did any component ping from your tweezers and go away, which seems to be one of my trademarks. You’ve inspired me to get my 6119 out of storage... and take it to our local watch repair shop. ;-) Not really. I think I’ll have another go myself. That’s a beautiful movement, and I’d love to see mine come to life again. Cheers -

That's a great story man! I'd love to have anything like that from decades past with a history behind it. My dad hawked or lost anything, especially nice watches, of value that would have been worthy of my reflection as my own adult now. But I get to turn things around for my own kids and, yeah, they're gonna have plenty of things to remember their tinker dad some day. I'm sure you've pulled that thing out and finished the job by now. I just finished my first complete "service" of a Timex Q from the late 70s my dad's lifelong friend (it belonged to his mum) sent me a couple weeks back when I told him I recently became interested in watchmaking. I honestly had no idea you could service a quartz (two months ago I had no idea you could service any watch), but I gave it a whirl for practice as it was a non-runner when I got it. I finally diagnosed the problem and fabricated the culprit part. Finished it last Saturday. Runs great, but it took me two days to seat the train wheel bridge. Anyway, I gave it to my daughter and now she can hopefully keep it for the next generation. I'm totally flabbergasted that a teenager would actually want to wear a standard watch these days (not a smart watch). Take care!

@drewby618 3 года назад

I’m glad I found this video, I have a similar Seiko 5 that my grandfather bought while on a tour to Vietnam. It served him through his whole military career and well into the 80s or 90s until he bought a different little Seiko. My piece is still running, but I fear it’s never been serviced. It’ll be going to get a check up soon.

@MyRetroWatches 4 года назад

One of the first for this one. Love the 6119 my first ever movement I serviced . Really robust movement. I’ve since serviced many of these and some never with a service for 40 years yet still running. Give it a little polish on this one and it will be great

@williamjones9395 4 года назад

I must say, the skill and dexterity you possess, and demonstrate, repairing watches is incredible! About 25 years ago I had considered watch repair as a career change. Unfortunately, and to my surprise, there were hardly any opportunities to learn the trade here in the States. The only formal school was the Bulova school on Long Island, NY, but they closed their doors not long after I discovered it. I put the idea of learning the trade on the back burner and went on with life. Presently, I am in my middle 60s and learning this is easier than ever before, but now it would just be as a hobby. So I may enroll in your course. I like your quiet, thoughtful approach. Very peaceful. Almost zen-like. Anyway, will keep watching, ( no pun intended ), and pehaps I will take the plunge in the future. God bless and stay well.

WAS THE MISSING SCREW REPLACED? a. Again, my bad - I forgot to mention, but of course the screw was replaced. But with a non-original.

@sanatkumarasharma3627 4 года назад

My Goodness, you have done a marvelous work on this that was my very first serious adult watch that I've lost decades ago in my turbulent teen years (the watch did not survive my crazy stunts). Maybe as you say it's not a faultless case restoration under some dogmas, but I see a masterful act of love and care and I admire the soothing music track accompanying your exact and precise movements. Yes, the Seiko 5 has a great caliber and design, now in a shiny enclosure (!) at a very competitive price! Cheers and Congrats.

Like others here I also am not a fixer of watches, but I find it all very fascinating. One must take great satisfaction from this work, it is certainly gratifying to watch the process. In this project you made a point of saying the client did not want to spend any money on parts, which is understandable given the watch's age and limited monetary value. However, I would have been curious to know if there were parts and or repairs you would have suggested that would have likely improved its performance and or enhanced its longevity? A discussion on the costs vs benefits on watch projects would be interesting. Thanks very much for sharing these videos and your expertise.

@andrewpeterwhatsonmybench1383 4 года назад

HI , LOVE THIS vid I am well into Seiko and I leaned a lot watching this breakdown and rebuild great . however the movement will have problems in the future . I see that it had the swiss wafer washer to retain the star wheel , the wheel may pop out and drag it will be dragging on dial as well , someone in the past has lost a part ' C clip ' which should be installed with the flat side facing up , this would have also played a part in the past with the running problems . the bit on the balance very very interesting , in fact I have a 1968 6119 in a monoblock case so this has come around at the right time and the detail on oiling , will watch more than once regards Andrew Goodman south wales

Seiko 5...The 5 points of excellence are: 1. Diashock. Shock Resistance. 2. Unbreakable Mainspring. 3. Water Resistance. 4. Day-Date. 5. Automatic. Nothing to do with a recessed crown or case durability (wtf) or its shape or its weight or the plethora of other things people have made up to state what Seiko 5 means! Anywho, fellah........Great video as always keep it up.

I’ve been toying with the idea for months now of buying a ‘serious’ watch to last a lifetime, and your videos tell me FAR more about the quality and design of a watch than any visit to a jewellers ever could! Slightly off-topic, but do you happen to know if the Seiko 5 was ever offered with a glass caseback option? Seems like too nice a movement to keep hidden....

Some serious wear on the upper and lower MS arbor ports on this movement as evident from the brass exposed under the ratchet wheel on the upper train bridge. Understand the need to keep cost down here. Jeweling those ports would have been ideal. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Plex crystal looked as bad as the one you have here but I was able to wetsand it smooth again by starting out with 220 grit, then 400, 600 and then finishing up with 1500 grit before hitting it with some Polywatch.

He said,, spray on a bit of WD40 and giggle it a bit, that should work. I was wearing the SNK805 and showed him the backside,, that's what Mark is repairing I said. His answer,, not so much WD40 then. Great video as usal.

Hi, really enjoy your videos Mark. They have given me the confidence to get into watch restoration. Restored my first watch a Poljot 17 jewel and on the way learned what a loose and then a tight cannon pinion were. Also learned how to lose and then find a cap jewel on a red carpet. Second restoration was a Seiko 7006-8002 from 1971. I am really pleased with how that went. I fitted a 0.8mm o ring gasket (as that was what was with the watch although deteriorated) but after watching this video I realise that it is probably not right. Could you tell me how I could go about sourcing the correct gasket? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.

Just recently got into watches, (under 3 mo) seen quite a few of your great videos as well as some other channels. I do find it interesting when you install the balance wheel it seems from what I've seen so far that you install it and then twist it at the end to line up with screw holes. I know there's names for what I'm speaking of but I don't know what all that is called. Just wondering if there was a specific reason as to why. I have some watchmaking books on order as I find this all extremely fascinating. Keep up the great videos entertaining and informative.
