Love your passion in keeping classic Seiko's going again like they are ment to. Keep the videos comming its alway great to hear you explain how you adapt and improvise other parts to replace originals. Keep the passion going, regards from Australia.

Sir Spencer that Feb. 1986 you are talked about I was still a month old that time and now I have a 7548-7000 from Dec. 1981 and I call it elder brother.

Always amazed at you talent for bringing watches back to life

[@edwinthomas618]

love your channel and a huge Tuna fan. You look and sound like Steve Magnante, host of Junkyard Gold on Motor Trend. lol

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

I'll have to check that out! I just love junkyards and barn find cars, all that stuff.

[@mikethebike67]

You do amazing work Spencer! Thanks for the vid.

[@Gunshy64]

Nice job Spencer, looks almost brand new👍🏻

[@dehoyosrudolph8885]

Another great return, of a beautiful watch!

[@justinsvids1851]

Great idea to fix the ceramic shroud. I own a satsuma plate that long ago was broken into 4 pieces. It was repaired with brass staples, the care taken to repair the plate makes me appreciate it more. Im not suggesting you use brass staples, but a repair well done doesn't detract from the piece, it can add to it😊

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

Right on

[@zaf240489]

Thanks for the video. Beautiful work.

[@joshuabriggs7114]

[@jimli2000]

[@jco1298]

Nice, Class of '86! I remember it well, kind of!!

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

Yup, best of the best. We had fun times. Same class as Ferris Bueller and Marty McFly and Samantha Baker etc.

[@chrisg-gg2iu]

Absolutely amazing work.

[@Xavier-zm8wv]

That is a nice repair story! How many gaskets does the crown have ? (Rolex : one on the tube and three or four I think for the crown of the triplock)

[@xpobro130]

I think a kintsugi repair on the shroud would look fantastic!

[@greenerick]

Thanks for the video Have a Seiko tuna

Hello, I have one from 1979. My question is regarding friction between the head and bezel. Is there suppose to be a nylon washer/spacer between the head and bezel? Can you recommend a part number, and where i can get it?

[@FiveTwoSevenTHR]

Does the Crystal gasket for the 7C46-7009 also match the 7549-7009? I'm trying to source new gaskets for my new to me 7549-7009.

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

yes, IIRC

[@FiveTwoSevenTHR]

@@SpencerKleinVintageWatch Do you have a suggestion on where to look or who to contact for a gasket? I'm also looking for a new crystal and nothing is showing up in google searches.

[@watchmedraw4340]

Now I want one lol

[@syahmee98]

Case back, other part, fashion board, bezel. Hahhha I know it cause I running this model.

[@rotcataergeht]

I bought a used water damaged tuna 7009. Do you think it gonna be possible fix for noob? I didn't open inside yet just saw some rust on dial

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

Water does an impressive amount of damage, even if it is only a small amount. Watch parts were never designed for water. It all depends really. You won't know until you open it. I wouldn't either.

[@jensrb50]

2 Part black epoxy for the crack in the ceramic

[@koklokyip]

Can you tell me what battery does a seiko 7c46-7009 take, mine just ran out of power . Tks

[@MDVH92]

Bring back frosted crystal bevels!

[@PreeyenMistry]

Does anyone know where I can find a database or list of seiko quartz movements and the batteries that the yaccept, got a 9943 twin quartz and I'm not sure what battery it takes?

[@MarcoRampinelli]

Aqui no Brasil nao existe assistência técnica seiko que substitua a bateria do meu.
