Hello and welcome to another video. Can I fix "My Mate Vince" watch?? So who is my mate Vince? Vince has a large RU-vid channel where he attempts to fix just about anything! they are very entertaining to watch his frustration and elation all in one go. He is in the middle of a challenge with some other similar channels to his where each week they have to buy something from eBay in a particular genre and try to fix & sell for profit. This week its mechanical week. Vince decided to try a Seiko 6309 after watching my videos.! you can see his attempt at getting this one going here: • 2019 eBay Repair Chall...
Please checkout Vince's channel here / mymatevince
He could not fix it so to comply with the rules of this challenge he listed it on eBay and I bought it to continue the story and see what is wrong and how well he did given he has no experience.
As always please comment below on your thoughts on this video.

at 21.37 it looks like oil in the jewel for the pallet fork but could be a trick of the light. It would explain why the fork was stuck to the pallet bridge.

Loved this video Mike, so glad you got it working. For me this watch very nearly brought me to tears of frustration so I am so happy it is working properly now. It is so hard to fault find (without the proper equipment) when it works so inconsistently. You think you have it working only to be let down again an hour later. The strap really suits it as well, looks so much better. Thanks for tackling this and the kind words in the video. I am sure you could have been a lot harsher lol :-) Take care mate. Vince :-)

@MyRetroWatches 5 лет назад

My Mate VINCE thanks Vince funny now all this panned out really. Would have been so much more rewarding for you to have got it going so that’s the sad part. At least you know the problem and if it was there from the beginning there was nothing you could have done about it. This is why I have donors. Most are failed fixes !

@Mymatevince 5 лет назад

@@MyRetroWatches Very true Mike. I watched back some of my camera footage and the kink in the hairspring doesn't appear to be there. I think with all the fault finding I probably ended up doing the kink by pulling it in and out consistently. Perhaps though the fact it wasn't lying flat might have been the original fault. We both put plenty of hours into it so it is good to see it tick solidly again. Good job :-)

Hello Mike. Mike d here. Stateside. Following your advice and watch repaired techniques I just fix my first date change problem in an old Bradley Diver Mickey watch. A simple alignment of the spring that activates the date wheel but to find it WHEWW. but I did find it and now the date is operating as designed thanks to your work and advise for us guys and gals in the hobby. I took a couple of breaks had a smoke and that spring lined up and stayed in place. Also if you remember a month or so ago I was asking why my time o graph didn't pick up the best ir ticking on my 40s Ingersoll Mickey's and 30d ingraham watches. I my have an answer the time I graph machine just like yours can't pick up a balance tick that is less then 4 times a second. The balance wheel had to turn at least 4btimedva second to pick up a ticking. I get a partial snow reading then the machine simply starts the cycle all over again. I guess the 40s andb39s watch balance spin only 3 times a second. LOL. Anyway Mike Thanks and jeeps those watch restore videos coming.

As I said on Vince's channel I greatly admire the patience with stuff like this, I like fixing stuff myself but all those tiny parts would drive me to distraction, and I would be inclined to 'fix' it with a hammer after a while ;) Still after watching a few of these videos I am gaining an insight into the level of engineering that goes into these things, the fact they can mass-produce something as complex as this and for it to work at all, much less for most of them to be reliable over many decades is amazing, and I can well understand the interest in servicing and repairing them. Thanks for keeping me entertained for an hour :)

@MyRetroWatches 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching and commenting. I am always amazed by the engineering in these however you want to look at the original Bulova Accutron watches. one of the first electronic watchs. timing is done by a tuning fork that vibrates, the watch actually hums. there is the main index wheel which is 2.4mm in diameter yet has 320 teeth cut into it. this produces the smoothest mechanical tick you will ever see and all this back in the early 60s. to put in perspective, Vinces watch beats at 5 beats per second to give it that smooth tick look. an Accuton will beat at 320 beats per second! astonishing.

@gibbo9089 5 лет назад

I wish I had the patience and temperament to do something like that. Find your videos fascinating to watch.

@kamenitza80 4 года назад

Awesome videos!! The reason for watches not running properly when you mess with the hairspring is that the jewel on the bottom of the balance wheel is no longer aligned with the pallet fork properly. When you fit the ballance the stone needs to be alighned to the center of the pallet bridge where the pallet fork moves from side to side (I usually take the pallet fork out and try to align the stone when the balance wheel is in rest). You need to be really careful when messing with those so you do not mess up the alignment, even a slight misalignment can cause serious issues. Keep up the good work and the great videos!!

Wow I must be getting good at some of this as I said on Vince's comments the hairspring looked a bit dickywampus to my untrained amateur eye, it was Mr V that got me interested in watch repairs with his excellent Omega and Tudor vids and his little foray into dial decoration which I thought looked ace but he didn't like it sadly.

@MyRetroWatches 5 лет назад

Ian Watson I did read your comment on his channel. One or two were on the mark others way off . It can be all speculation as these issues can be just about anything . To see this hairspring not being flat you have to remove it all off the bridge which is fine work to do as they are delicate. To see insitu is practically impossible. Vince’s rubbing out of the logo on the Omega was “interesting “.... I do genuinely like the guy and his channel. Interesting concept to try to fix almost anything

@zlatannezic7921 2 года назад

After watching Vince's video he did mention that the watch was a bit fast. Most of the times, and I could be wrong, that is due to an issue with the balance. The kink essentially made the pendulum shorter and therefore faster.

@REKLESSWOLVES1 Год назад

Good fix for old rubber like that crystal gasket. Drop it in some boiling water for 20 seconds, remove and drop in cold water. Repeat the process 4 or 5 times. The initial shock off the hot water realigns the rubber molecules and the sudden cold quickly shrinks them so the rubber becomes tighter and shrinks back slightly making a tighter seal. Old trick i use on Motorcycle Carb seals and rubber gaskets, especially ones that attach the carbs to the engine intakes. Works on all rubber seals.

You're happy with 15 seconds a day? I hope you tweak it a bit more:) Is that good for a mechanical watch? I'm sorry to say i'm a philistine who has never had one:(

@MyRetroWatches 4 года назад

You can possibly get it better, you also have to test in 5 different positions to get it running at its optimum. Seiko will only guarantee something like 30 seconds anyway. No mechanical watch would be as accurate as a quartz. There are a few exceptions to this but as a rule of thumb. Rolex would be a few seconds a day also. Mechanical watches will slow down over time if not serviced, or speed up if magnetized. The fact that it is a mechanical machine on your arm is where the magic lies. Quartz in itself is quite amazing how it works but somehow looses some of that magic. (in my opinion)

reace m thanks I will consider it. I have a ton of projects still to do for the channel though . Ladies watches are another level of tiny and usually have no value despite that amazing engineering. Vintage lady Seikos , mainly high beat so they have 36,000 vibrations per hour , basically there are more gear teeth to make the sweep hand even smoother (36k is very high - this 6309 of Vince’s is 21,500) Yet the ladies don’t like second hand mechanics watches , only Daniel Wellington $3 quartz module watches with plenty of fake diamonds

@christopherortiz9626 5 лет назад

Great point about the ladies watches. I bought my wife a vintage Omega Deville Automatic with the tiny 661 movement. It is insane how small it is to contain an automatic. Even though they are of less value in general, they are an amazing marvel for their size. She just says, "Thanks, it's cute." No idea of the engineering lol.

thanks for your comment. I like the 7S26 easy to work on and like a workhorse despite not being pretty. I didnt know you could still buy complete movements. Are they copies?

@purpleether5405 5 лет назад

@@MyRetroWatches I got NH36 movements for about £22. I don't know if they are copies but from reading watch forums people say they work fine. That is cheaper than servicing a seiko so might as well get a new movement.

I love Seiko watches. Oldest one I have is from my grandfather, a 1977 5020 with 6309 movement, still runs like new. Sadly it has some wear and scratches, maybe one day I will get it restored.

Great job mate! Way to hang in there

@trooperbill 4 года назад

you needed to push into the notch at the side of the dial near the crown to release the crown. not remove the dial!

@MyRetroWatches 4 года назад

I know where the stem release is as its on a kind of lever which was missing, you cant push up the setting lever without it. I have come across this many times on this type of seiko setup.

I have been hopelessly searching for this watch, that I saw a couple of years back by chance on the internet. And now seeing it here, I feel excited :). Found a couple of good samples but unfortunately all sold out. Great design.

Feeze the gasket will fix the strech problem. Old Moped driver trick for the carburator seals .

Jörg Sannwald do they actually shrink back then?

@waldi2302 4 года назад

@@MyRetroWatches they hold their shape and getting not smaller, then original. You only have to wait a minute or two that they are a bit softer to work with. I do that often with old O rings and PVC stuff. My Parts are a bit bigger than yours, on my phones but I see no reason why it shouldn't work for smaller stuff too.

Great video! I'm just curious -- it is written "Automatic" on the dial but there's no winding rotor. So this model is not automatic and just hand winding?

@MyRetroWatches 4 года назад

Hi This does have a rotor I just dont show it in the video for some reason. Most seiko 5's are only automatic and no hand winding available. Thank for watching.

Thank you for explanation!
