Restoration of a King Seiko Watch - Clean and Rebuild 

Hi TheRaven ... Haha! So pleased this hit the spot for you and thank you so much for the feedback. Richard

And 'not a lot of people know that' IAN SPA .... excellent point and yes these watches are capable of some great time keeping. Thanks for this feedback. Richard

You buy a Seiko, because you know it is the best engineered WATCH and it is also likely the best "finished" WATCH for any given price range. You buy a Seiko for history and the japanese sensibility, that it is the pinnacle of what the culture will offer you. The sensibilities of being simple yet refined, unassuming and yet at the peak level of performance. It is not to say that Rolex or "insert any other high end brand" is bad. Wear what makes you happy and if it is a Seamaster? Swim. If it is a Watermelon Underdog Gen2? Wear it like a king. Seiko is just that, the king of watch makers and the entire market has yet to learn why. Rolex lasts forever, just like Seiko but the attention to detail cannot be beaten by anyone else. You buy a Seiko because you want to be seen, but you also want to tell a story of why it is so great. Everyone knows why rolex is great and why Patek's are worn all around the world. Seiko is a sleeping giant, look at their newest offerings. It is an amazing piece of engineering and with the history to boot. I will wear all watch brands, but Seiko fits for people who are more of a discerning type.

Thanks so much Bruno! So pleased this delivered for you. Richard

Hi mikkimacdoogle! I think these videos can be quite therapeitic so your addiction is a positive one I figure! I also still always get a thrill when the balance comes to life. Thanks for the feedback. Richard

@@richardperrettwatchmaker I'd like to think it's a positive addiction. I currently own a cheaper Bulova automatic ($400 USD). When I saw the inner workings I fell in love. What I wouldn't give to own a King Seiko! Such a beautiful piece. You did a fantastic job with the service of this watch! Thank you for your educational, relaxing and all around fun videos. Love and respect from The States.

Hi Rhys ... your watch is now in test! I will give you an update mid-week. It's cetainly a lot more ordered inside now as Seiko intended it to be. The mainspring installation was horrid! Credit to the power train that it operated with such a rubbish power source. Thanks for this and I will keep you posted. Richard

@@richardperrettwatchmaker I’m sorry it caused you so much trouble! I’m baffled how the previous owner or watch maker got that big scratch on the inside of the movement, any ideas?

Thank you so much Sevrin! Richard
