Reviving History: Restoring a 1960s King Seiko Watch with Custom-Made Parts 

Really excellent video! I like the captions, always with very useful information. 👌🏼👌🏼

New part @ 31:00 for anyone who is from An engineer's findings

Nice job and great filming!😊

An absolutely beautiful job...and proof it's good to have friends with machines!

Ein schönes Stück Uhrenkunst, faszinierend wieder zum Leben erweckt! Danke fürs zeigen!👍

I feel like I’m watching Wristwatch revival without the commentary

Amazing work. Thanks for sharing it in such detail! I had no idea that seeing a watch disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled would be so riveting. No, seriously.

Found this from engineers finding , from milling mechine now im watching watchmaker . Such small parts very interesting im subscribe

Great video. Many of the vintage Seiko watches have beautiful dials and hands. I have a few Seiko Lord Marvel 36000 bph watches with different dials, they are my favourite dial and handsets of all the watches I own. Just a little small on my larger wrists. Love your videos. Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable 43 minutes. 👍

Excellent video quality - I'm sure that a lot of work went into the editing.

Beautiful vintage submariner and king seiko 😌

I love the original king Seiko watches. I’m debating on getting the 44 or 45 as my first vintage watch.

Another great video. Thanks for the excellent footage!

Super cool Watch! Great video!🎉

Hi love the 44 series! I do have a little tip for you which will make your live with diafix settings so much easier, only thing it requires are 2 automatic oilers/ thin oilers to oil from below and a little change of order but doing this will really make working them less frustrating. I know lot of people oil them and flip them with their tweezers but a mishap can set you back doing it all over again so what I do is as follows. When disassembling the movement I will take the jewels out of their setting then will rub them over some watchmakers paper to clean them off any residue left from previous service. Then I will put everything back together so I know the jewels are clean now only need to be chemically cleaned in the cleaning cycle with the rest of the movement. I use alcohol as a final rinse before heating it dry, this ensures me the jewels are clean and ready to be oiled. Then with the oilers I will lubricate them from underneath. Since doing it this way I never had any issues or frustration with those knarly jewels.

Wah!

Nice video and the close-up quality is good too. One aspect of polishing the case and removing dents is that it rounds off all the sharp edges. I hope this watch was for your personal collection or you always plan on discussing the polishing aspect with a client(s) before doing this work. Many collectors would rather keep the original shape of the case! 🙂

A Dream!

That is a weird way of executing a hack. Even in very high end watches the hack is often a spring which acts against the balance wheel. The Diafix settings on the train wheel actually aren't antishock settings; the springs are just there to keep the cap jewels in place and to provide a convenient way of servicing them.

Well, did you find the broken off parts or did someone else work on the movement before you?

The cleaning machine is an old Glashutte one, isn't it?

Did the broken parts not causing damage when they came off?

do you have any experience with the STP1-11 movement?
