For GR: Seiko 6138-8020 Panda restoration

I just bought a bullhead, and I was searching around for a competent service video on the 6138, and I definitely found it here. Great little tidbits on how this fantastic movement works!

Spencer, I found it very entertaining and illustrative to follow up the Citizen 8110 with a Seiko 6138. It is fascinating to see how they took different approaches to solving the same problems. Given the complexity of the 8110 I am not surprised that it was more of a pita to restore from the level of abuse it had suffered. There have been numerous threads over the years debating the issue of hand winding autos. I think what you found on this 6138 gives pretty clear proof that they should not be treated like hand winding movements. The feature is for the convenience of putting initial power into the system. If you have an auto winding system that is no longer working get it fixed! Do not just use your damaged watch as a hand winder. As to finger cots…anyone who has had to work in a clean environment appreciates what a godsend they are over full gloves. Anyone making finger condom jokes is either being silly or is just uninformed.

Wealth of knowledge in this video thanks, not that I will be working on anything as complicated as this one.
