These programs are most instructive and enjoyable. On the other hand, servicing, let alone restoring a Seiko 5, unless it has some sentimental value, is economic madness. You could do it yourself, though buying the equipment would cost a small fortune. The fact is that a cheap watch is de facto a disposable watch.
Mine didn't come with full links. It's just a tiny little tight on the wrist and it makes a mark. The end link near the lug is always vertical since it is holding the watch tight. I'm worried if the strap is going to come off easily and watch is going to fall on the floor! Is it easy to find strap.
Hello, very good work, I loved the final result, the watch is beautiful. It's better with the new glass. I'm going to encourage myself to find one just like it.
Good day Sir! Amazing work and skills 😊 I am new to this art or restoration, i have the same polishing maching, is there any chance you can share with me what kind of polishing wheels are you using ? Thank you very much! Best regards, Silviu C.P.
I have the same watch I bought new in 1990,has gold hour markers /hands,apart from that ,identical.its been worn in rotation with several other Seiko 5s so it's pretty much unmarked.
Amazing video, congratulations. Excuse me, what is the name of the tool to hold the watch case at minute 3:30 and 4:57 and what grains of sandpaper did you use? Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge, a hug
Hey, I don't really understand your question. 🙂 If you're wondering whether or not your 7009 movement would fit in a Seikoak case, the answer is no. Your 7009 movement has the crown at position 3.8, while the Seikoak case requires a movement that has the crown at position 3.
@@vintagehorlogesleuvenhey what materials used for the glass press? The white one. I thinking of DIY Its a LOT more expensive here by comparison to the watch. Like $15 bucks watch and $2000 glass replacement tool
Thanks! To be honest, I broke the crystal by accident, because I used the wrong die. 🥲 I wasn't going to use the original crystal anyway though, since it was heavily scratched.
I've always easily found original replacement Hardplex Seiko crystals easy to find and there are also generic German mineral glass replacements specifically for Seiko's. What's difficult to find are sapphire crystal replacements to upgrade the watch and there it is the chamfer cut that's hard to find, straight cut sapphire crystals of the appropriate size are still easily found. One of the advantages of Seiko watches is that it is a well known brand with a lot of production.
