Nice job!

[@andreasjung3612]

The crystal looks like was scratched with purpose, to make the restauration look more dramatically.

[@javierortiz7639]

Yo también pienso lo mismo.

[@9feetfrog]

this is the funniest comment. I just want to ask you - did you even know the crystal was replaced, not restored?

[@myveryownpage]

These videos are mostly fake! Creators damage the items on purpose so they can make the video of "restoration". Nevertheless, they're fun to watch (I have the exact same watch, btw)

[@hamid.1853]

I would throw away a watch even after one scratch

[@hff181]

definitely, this guy has even filled up a watch with sand and thought we wouldn't notice 😂

[@robertjordan7323]

Very nice watch. It cleaned up well

When it comes to fine imitation watches, NKUWAN delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.

Felicitaciones !! Que gran hermoso trabajo haces , saludos desde chile !!

[@MetehanMetehan18]

Super Yapan 👍

[@67nearmint]

If you don't mind a friendly suggestion, perhaps consider oiling the balance pivot jewel prior to installing the balance complete. It could minimize the chances of the diashock spring failing into the running balance and fouling the hairspring. Otherwise, great job!

[@prideinwatches]

Thank you for your suggestion, will definitely keep it in mind.

Greetings, HEALTHY, FRESH, SANE ALWAYS, from Indonesia. I am really amazed by your videos. In fact, I really want to have one that has been serviced... is it possible... 

[@user-se7uw7js9g]

👍👍👍

[@m00m00g1]

I will never be able to reassemble all the parts. How do you remember which part goes where? Appreciate your skills, experience and knowledge! Mad respect.

[@winstonlanda7731]

It's like a car. Many different car makers but all the components look the same. They may be placed in different places but you know how they are relatively functioning. It takes years of practice to recognize where each piece goes and the order in which they're placed but it's possible to remember where each part goes as you assemble. Worse case scenario, people record themselves dissambling to refer when assembling, which is how we get these great videos.

[@OwlsAndPidgeons]

A lot of movements follow the same basic functions and are built and developed on one another. There maybe over a hundred ETA movements. But to know where the parts are, you only need to know about 3-5. The rest follows the same structure.

[@tazeemarshad5133]

Puzzle 🧩

[@suprapandalol]

Not bad at all, the case finish could have been a little cleaner with a polishing wheel, as there are still a lot of scratches, and the demarcation between gloss and brushed could have been a little clearer. But the result is very nice, bravo.

[@alejandroalvear9348]

Exelente buen reloj neuquen argentina

[@josemontenegro5679]

Nice work can you do a seiko 5 date just fluted SNXJ90 full restoration?

[@ugurylmaz7666]

👏👏👏

[@jgbulhoes8556]

I wanna start to repair old watches as a hobby, so I wanted to know what kind of water solution did you use to put the parts in for the rust

[@thatsawesome2060]

I have similar calibre watch, still working but the glass scratches accumulated after 15+ years really anoy me, but i love it because the fact it durability but Hardlex Cristal really the weakness here, can i replace it to sapphire or it were financially more viable to buy new watches with sapphire.

How easy is it to fit a sapphire crystal instead of what's existing?

[@lemi8776]

where can one order the original metal bracelet for Seiko 5

[@satryakaligis6679]

Great video...but i need you to explain like the step or about the part and many thing, thank you

[@mohamedkarim7007]

En un buen estado

[@JogieGlenMait16]

I've always wondered what the yellow markers on the dial are for.

[@zelator29]

It is meant to be reminiscent of a yachting chronograph.

Хорошие часы

[@hunter_111]

what thing they called jewel in Seiko watches

[@JuanjoSVQ]

Tengo uno perfecto de estado

[@olegbruhavetsky]

In 1985, I turned 25 and my wife gave me Seiko SNK371 . Since then, they show the time very well and have never been repaired. This summer I gave them to a watchmaker to have them cleaned and adjusted. Everything went well. How long do you think my watch will still work correctly? Before my birthday at 100, they won't break? .)

[@prideinwatches]

Seiko 5s are work horse movements just keep them away from water and these will last for years.

[@olegbruhavetsky]

@@prideinwatches Thanks for the good advice.

[@user-dr3qc6oq2e]

Если часы не носить,то они переживут ваших внуков. Если носить каждый день,то вопрос интересный.

[@Hridhus]

i have this watch

[@ziegenwilly]

wow , das würde ich auch gerne können , sammle armbanduhren , allerdings überwiegend welche mit batterien , meine arbeiten daran sind batteriewechsel und arbeiten am armband , nachdem mir mein ,letzter uhrmacher , bei meiner arbeits seiko uhr , sieht ähnlich aus wie diese vorher , trage sie auch schon über 37 jahre , hat nur alle paar jahre ein neues armband bekommen , der letzte uhrmacher hat nach dem batteriewechsel vergessen die gummidichtung wieder einzusetzen , der andere uhrmacher , hat die uhr dann trockengelegt , und sie läuft wieder aber den laden gibt es nicht mehr geschlossen , weil er in rente ging , seidem mache ich alles selber liebe grüße aus deutschland

[@vanquocvinh7307]

What is yellow solution ?

[@user-go4hs3cr7y]

Hello, I have a Seiko watch. Can you fix it for me? It works, but I want you to maintain and clean some parts only. I am from Morocco.

[@shaikhfarazulhaqulhaq4055]

always u miss some parts to fit while assembling..... when remember that again u disassemble the whole u fitted... but any way good job..... ☝️👍

Hi un seiko da revisionare cal.7009 come posso contattarla

[@ShivamKumar-ex2lz]

How much does that restoration cost

[@JoeThomas-tk3jz]

Crystal was definitely scratched up on purpose before the restoration.

[@WW-uw1dv]

Interesting. Why are the parts of the mechanism so scratched? Or is it like this from the factory?

[@veterantimesint]

most probably it was once serviced by a stupid watch maker using the wrong tools

Cuánto es el precio de un reloj antiguo (Seiko) ? Tengo este tipo de reloj

[@gerardobeltran6063]

Perdón pero me podría decir que es la solución amarilla que emplea. Y se mete el volante y la espiral a ella. Y como puedo conseguir dicha solución. Gracias Puebla. Pue. México

[@edwinasuncion8482]

That seiko suffered so much torture from its owner.

[@sajjadahmad7499]

Is it automatic and its price

[@felixpaniagua2390]

y la espiral como la puso

Hi. What products do you use to clean the parts?

[@veterantimesint]

Concentrated Solution of Ammonia for Clock Cleaning

[@kasthurirangan842]

I hv a Seiko5 automatic day date mechanical watch 1972purchased not in use. Day date wheel prob. Time is ok. Only day date wheel prob. Any chance of restoring it to original condition.

[@prideinwatches]

These movements can be fixed easily and their replacement parts are also available.

No me gusta un reloj,que tenga piezas de plástico !! Tu trabajo es bueno, pero no deberías lubricar cada buje, sin dejar pasar ninguno ?? Saludos de Buenos Aires Argentina.
