Come along as we take on the challenge of reviving a Seiko Bullhead watch that was sold to me by a deceitful eBay seller. From fault finding and disassembly, to the final touches of the rebuild, witness every step of the process and see how we triumph over the seller's dishonesty to create a fully functional and beautiful retro timepiece.

Although I will never have the financial means (let alone enough remaining time on the planet 😐) to engage in this fascinating hobby, I find something along the peaceful lines of Zen watching these well used and even abused miniature mechanical marvels come back to life in spectacular fashion. Your detailed and entertaining narrative lets me feel a bit of the intense love for the subject that you so obviously have. I also really appreciate your including those of us who only sit, watch and wonder at the process while not being hobbyists ourselves. There is an integrity to your inclusion of the sideways adventures when they occur ("No excuses, this is real life") that is refreshingly honest. Thank you so much for all of the hard work you put into these restorations and the many hours of filming and editing that make them so fascinating! 👍

Hey Adam, I think most of us who watch your channel have the $20 eBay watch repair kit. Maybe a crystal press. Would you consider doing a short video on the “next level” of tools? Without spending $1000 on Swiss tools…. Better screwdrivers? Tweezers? The important uses for peg wood? Human saliva for enzymatic action on dials?? Thanks- I love your stuff and will be supporting you shortly.

I’ve loved watches since my Grandmother bought me a Mickey Mouse watch in 1964. I have collected many watches especially Railroad watches. I spent 40 years working for the railroad. The seiko bullhead was popular in school and I’ve always wanted one. Love your videos and your craftsmanship. You’re also very humble and that’s a great quality.

Thank you very much.

The Mickey Mouse watch is only iconic due to its branding and popularity. That is a cheaply-made pin-pallet watch with few or no jewels if I remember right. Due to the single bridge design, It is actually harder to service compared to more expensive watches. Then, to top it all off, you can't really check the watch's health due to the difference in escapement from what most watches have. The Timegrapher uses audio/acoustics and a small computer of sorts. So if it can't hear or interpret the noises, it can't tell you how it is running and gets confused.

@@PlumGurly Really? I could give a shit less what you think! Did I say it needs repaired? Did I say it was rare? No! I just said it was my first watch my grandmother gave me! It had meaning to me in 1964! It was my first watch! She passed away 6 months later so it’s meaningful! I don’t give a shit if it’s worth a nickel! Most of my collection is Swiss watches, the only reason I commented on the “Bullhead” is I would put one in my collection.

I REALLY like 👍 your hour and a half videos on watches. They are so intricate and detailed. No skipping ⏭️ quickly from 1️⃣ part of the video to another. Just an all out, step-by-step video!! Your friend, Jeff.

@WeekendWatchRepair 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Jeff, I don't really know any other way of doing it! I see some 30 minute rebuild videos and wonder how they manage to show everything! My OCD is on overdrive when I'm editing a video, haha! I really hope you'll like the next one. I have finally finished the watch after nearly 20 days of fault finding, waiting on parts to arrive, etc. This next one is not the most complicated watch ever shown on the channel, but it probably had the most work done to it. I've been on an editing marathon this weekend, and am only about 1/2 finished with the rough edit thus far! It's going to be a long one, but pretty detailed. I hope you enjoy it.

@@WeekendWatchRepair It was such a great 😊 video that I fell asleep 😴 like 👍 5 minutes into it. I like 👍 these old watches, especially with the day/date feature. They’re also automatic, or manually wound 🆙. Although it may sound like 👍 a convenient way to have your watch parts secure, one ☝️ enemy of watches, is getting them near a magnet 🧲. This makes the gears very clingy (magnetized), and the watch will stop 🛑, when put back together. Also, don’t bend the hairspring, or break the end of it off of the balance wheel. This will require hairspring replacement (if bent), and/or a very painstaking soldering job, to reattach the hairspring to the balance wheel. Also, never 👎 let a wind-up watch unwind at full speed to power down the mainspring. This could ruin the gear train 🚂, causing additional, and very expensive repair 🧑‍🔧. Your friend, Jeff.

I prefer the longer videos. As for how crudy that once beautiful Seiko looked when you broke it down, all I can say is wow. I have one of my Seikos here on my desk, (I just took it off), and it's 44 years old, and still looks like new. It is all original. My other Seiko's look the same. I just ordered a Seiko 5 military watch I hope to have soon. I bought my first Seiko back in 1970 and never looked back. I just LOVE Seiko watches.

@WeekendWatchRepair 2 месяца назад

I do as well.

@alexanderkamerbeek9693 9 месяцев назад

I have to disagree on the date issue of the dial and case back. I think these two did belong to each other the dates were within a year and that happens in watches that are in serial production everything more then a year would raise suspicion with me but within a year I would say they belong together.

@WeekendWatchRepair 9 месяцев назад

That’s good info to know. I appreciate you leaving the comment. I kept the original dial, along with everything else.

This video showed up in my recommendations, so I put it in my "watch later" list...and I am glad I did! It took me less thank 10 minutes to decided I needed to be a subscriber. Your video quality is great and your commentary is exactly what I look for. Interesting narration is what makes the videos interesting and useful as a learning tool. Keep up the great work.
