I just spent a chunk of my afternoon watching all of these videos. I absolutely love Seiko watch design from the seventies. Some think they're funky or retro, but I think they're straight beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.

@samd.5203 5 лет назад

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your collection. I love all the funky 70's design. I have a small collection of about 5 watches in similar styles. I love these watches and they are rather sentimental for me. My dad used to wear a 6119-5400 for years that I'm still lucky enough to have. Growing up I was fascinated with his watch and would play with it every chance I got, So whenever I see these funky designs they always bring a smile to my face. Again thanks for sharing.

@arlocorp 5 лет назад

Very well done, What a great selection. Well my favorite is.......ALL OF THEM, EVERY SINGLE ONE.

@LambentOrt 2 года назад

@seanpollard4844 3 года назад

I really like the 6119-5440 as the dial reminds me of Star Wars going into light speed with the stars as the indices stretching and giving a cool effect. Thanks for your videos! The 70s sure had groovy far out designs that are still remarkable today as they stand out and make you take notice. It is awesome that you can bring them back from poor condition to the great condition they are now. Oh and I did watch all 3 videos. I particularly liked the brilliant electric blue from the 2nd video.

@jeffreyhickman3871 Год назад

I like 👍 the second watch over, up front (from left to right). It looks so much like 👍 a Lorus watch I bought around mid 1984. My Lorus had a blue dial, luminous hands and dial markers, day/date feature, and a glass crystal. It had a black rubber wristband. Your friend, Jeff.

Value unfortunately would not be massive. possibly around £50-60 but Seiko are on the rise. No matter an heirloom is important no matter what.

@neilpiper9889 4 года назад

I am going to add to my collection of Raketa vintage watches with the handwinding 2609 ha movements. They do bizarre TV shaped watches with unusual dials. They are cheap, reliable and easy to regulate and fix. I prefer handwinding over automatics that don't handwind like the Shakeos you are showing there.

I found a Seiko Bell-Matic 4006-7010 at an estate sale for 3 bob! It's a 27 jeweler from 1968 and runs like a champ. All it needed was a tidy up and a different band. The band that was on it was a broken Speidel, so I was watching your videos to see what Seiko bands are out there; although I didn't see any of the rice or coffin link types. I've got a citizen band on it now that looks well enough.

@MyRetroWatches 5 лет назад

+William Bruder Hello, thank you for your comment what a find you have there. Every envious but in a nice way as I rarely get lucky deals like this. I think they are 19mm lugs? If so on eBay there are “aftermarket “ Seiko bracelets. From memory a Belmatic looks like this one. Hope it helps. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F254246084174

@olejohanpalsrud6896 5 лет назад

Great Collection, hard to find a favorite, because they are all very nice watches, but if I should pick one it would be the 7019-7210. I'm actually got one like that myselves, With a green dial, really nice watch.

Hi mike,new to your channel (subscribed)I have a seiko bell matic,everything works,however,the day does not align correctly in the box, I have taken it to a jewellers and they say it’s probably one of the teeth have broken off,and also say that parts are obsolete and can’t be repaired,would you say this is true in your experience? Kind regards,Dean

@Bradley8707 4 года назад

I’m a blue dial fan as well, I wonder if it’s because it contrasts so well with steel?

@ianmansfield68 5 лет назад

That 7006-5000 is a stunner! Good luck with the case back. In fact the last few are all great, really interesting how they all show that 70s vibe in a different way. Cool collection!

@brentwoods7450 4 года назад

Your 6119-5460 is very interesting. I have my fathers 6106-5529 which is a DX model from 73. Same case, same dial (but all gold) but different movement. Mine is all original and the bracelet is folded/pressed and your looks to be solid links. So odd, the 5 model had a higher jewel count movement and a solid bracelet, yet the DX line was positioned above the 5's in terms of pricing

@MyRetroWatches 4 года назад

There are many versions of this watch. I have seen gold ones that dont look as well built and others that do. Seiko seemed to put many different movements in the same cases. The DX line I would not consider that different from a 5. the only difference is DX had 6106 movements which had hacking. Hacking is a simple lever addition to stop the escape when the crown was pulled. 6106 is a modified version of the 6119.

@octoberfox3399 Месяц назад

Great video. I did stay till the end. I was wondering how many weird watches seiko made over the years? I mean, there's the flight master or the mile marker. I'm sure there must be more unique ones. Do you know of a video that show cases them?

@MyRetroWatches Месяц назад

No idea. Seiko has 10,000s of models really and ones for different continents . I find 70s watches in Europe that are not in Japan and vice versa then there is South Asia which again have some interesting designs you don’t see elsewhere.

@fireblade95 3 года назад

Hi just watched them all , I have a few (3!) 5s . Good videos lovely collection . My favourite is a blue 1972 with a slight problem the clasp is really long and doesn't sit well on my wrist , is it possible to bend them without caus issues? The bracelet is really unusual and I don't want to change it ! Regards Will

@MyRetroWatches 3 года назад

If it’s a folding clasp then you can buy new ones. Equally if the clasp is too long surely that means the bracelet is. Can’t you remove a few links?

@fireblade95 3 года назад

@@MyRetroWatches it's the too inner bits that fold , much too long , I've a fairly slim wrist and it digs in . I've tried eBay for just a clasp because I want to keep the bracelet that came with the watch , hard to source tho , someone on here recommended bending it which seems drastic! Regards Will

@JonTheComputerDoctor 5 лет назад

Hi, Ref your 7006-5000 try supergluing a nut onto the case back to get it off, once released use acetone to remove the nut.

@MyRetroWatches 5 лет назад

JonTheComputerDoctor I have bought a heavy duty professional caseback opener for diver watches. That for sure will open the back up. It’s not the force required it’s the holding of the case to counteract the force applied

How can you tell what year of manufacture by just looking at the first number of the serial number. Example if the number starts with a 3 how do you know if it’s a 1973 or is it a 1983. Thank you I’ve enjoyed your channel

Experience of knowing the styles but also you can use a site like this which will also sometimes give you two dates in different decades but you can also find that out from when movements were discontinued etc www.watchsleuth.com/seikodatefinder/

@JayB-lz6yd 4 года назад

what's funny with these watches is that they are more beautiful than new models but they are more obsolete than the new ones. i mean obsolete in terms WR and quality bands. they really were made for "use it and throw it when it's dead" people. new models look horrible but they are tougher and good WR. i would've loved to see old Seiko 5 watches with good WR and better bands. they simply would be the best. even more when you can find some with 6119 movement. i'd like to see Seiko make audacious design like back then again. i feel like we had more choices back then.

@jacknjill3000 Год назад

It seems like you are very loyal to Seiko, but in this period, other Japanese watch company were also competing with Seiko and many beautiful watches. You may have a look if you already haven’t .

@jacknjill3000 Год назад

Oh and I had the green face with the jewel crystal. I see many of these gem are now in the hands of collectors like yourself. Well I’m glad bc these gems should be appreciated and taken care of. Btw. When did you start collecting bc back in the late 90s, I couldn’t find anyone collecting these vintage watches and many thought I was out of my mind.

@jacknjill3000 Год назад

Do you go as far to replace the face with a after market or do you try to buy them with clean faces?

@jacknjill3000 Год назад

So back then, these were mass made and common? I winder if Seiko made close amounts of these watches or did they various amounts depending on the model. Are there still models that you are trying to find that you don’t have and if so, why are those models more rare?

@neilpiper9889 4 года назад

Still with a Hardlex chrystal on those two divers. Shame on you Seiko.
