This time I´m restoring an old Seiko divers watch from the 1980s.
It´s a Seiko Slim Turtle with the Seiko 6309 automatic movement.
The watch was worn by Nicolas, a French cave diver, on every dive for over 20 years. One day this bond broke in an accident and he turned to me to get his watch working again.
Nicolas dried the watch in a cup of rice after the accident, but the condition is beyond bad and every local watchmaker refused to repair it. The case is covered with scratches and dents, the glass is cracked and the salt water has ruined the dial, hands and movement.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

Watching this again and it’s even better second time around, lot of people who are very good at watch restoration would not have bothered with that sekio in that state, your presentation the engineering the care and effort in bringing it back to life is an absolute joy to behold. whoever owns that watch now will be as proud of owning it because you restored it as any Rolex owner could ever be on the day they walked out of the shop.

Да какой владелец, никто такое уже восстанавливать не будет, слишком дорого. Более того это только для видео, так как с разбитым стеклом, при такой коррозии корпуса а подвижный маятник механизма это чудо))). И сам механизм свежий. Там бы все закисло и покрылось кораллами, как и снаружи. Так что это шоу не более

This is why I love watches so much. Years under dirt and it can still be restored but the most fascinating aspect of it is that it holds so much value with its longevity and history behind it, one of the few items that can last you a lifetime in this world, invest in a good one and you will never lose.
