Restoration of a Vintage Tissot Seastar Automatic Watch

This Tissot Seastar 46587-3X needs a full restoration. There are many small issues that have to be fixed. ASMR, no talking.
The watch is powered by cal. 2571. The base movement was developed jointly by Tissot and Omega and also used in some Omega watches without the day complication with a cal. number 1481.
The watch is running poorly. Crown is loose. Day/date complications have several issues.
All case parts are restored. The movement is cleaned and inspected, then re-assembled and oiled. Missing parts are replaced.

As a watchmaker myself. I have to say 10/10. Excellent job. No shortcuts. Very well done

[@ChronoWorkRestorations]

Thank you so much! That really means a lot coming from you.

[@mr.personal-ity]

Are you a hobbyist watchmaker or Professional Watchmaker? Big difference.

Tive esse relógio quando era criança, no inicio da década de '70. Ele é muito bonito e gostaria de tê-lo novamente. Trabalho magnífico de restauração. Parabéns.

[@lizid5]

It's a well known fact that sandpaper is labelled according to the amount of hours it takes to make a scratched crystal perfect again 😂

[@ChronoWorkRestorations]

True! 😂😂

[@mikebruegger8654]

Nice work... Black or deep blue strap please! Very over engineered date works....

[@ChronoWorkRestorations]

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Black or deep blue would definitely look great on this! I agree on the date works..very over engineered with many strange quirks.

[@VWatchie]

Thanks! Are you using a flat stake when closing the barrel lid bearing?

[@ChronoWorkRestorations]

Thank you for watching! Only the flat stake and round punch are shown in this video, but in addition I used a concave punch to close the part that extends inside the barrel from the other side, and a concave stake with a bigger round punch to create a slight depression around the hole to adjust the endshake.

[@gustavovasquez4894]

una pregunta todo lo que se ve dorado es oro ?

[@ChronoWorkRestorations]

En este reloj no, los componentes dorados son de latón o Glucydur.

[@mrclassic2284]

When did tissot start using plastic in their watches? Ty

[@ChronoWorkRestorations]

Thanks for watching! I believe in the early 70's or late 60's. They even released a watch made almost completely of plastic in the early 70's. It was a complete flop and couldn't compete with the quartz watches that were so popular.

[@watchwhisper]

I have a question fantastic video. What is that dryer called please

[@ChronoWorkRestorations]

Thank you! That is a food dehydrator, any brand will probably do. They're cheap and great for drying watch parts.

[@watchwhisper]

@@ChronoWorkRestorations thank you i might have to get one im still learning

[@GloriaCerezo-nh9wh]

Hello friend might wanna help a buddy out? Im trying to do a crystal replacement on my seiko 5 sports 7S36-00L0 and i found out that the watch crystal was 28mm in diameter but i cant seem to find the thickness can you help me in finding the thickness for my watch model?

[@ChronoWorkRestorations]

Maybe you already solved this somehow, I couldn't find the thickness listed anywhere but the correct crystal for your watch appears to be 280PX5LN03.

[@ChronoWorkRestorations]

Nice watch btw!

Great video, great work - you earned my subscription. That makes me sub #800!! Do I get a prize? 🙂

[@ChronoWorkRestorations]

Thank you subscriber #800! 🙏 As far as a price, you will get to see many more restoration videos, fair enough? 😉

[@alanmckinnon6791]

@@ChronoWorkRestorations Deal! 😀

[@colinfogden9666]

Will you do my Rolex I’ll pay of course

[@ChronoWorkRestorations]

Thank you for the offer and for trusting me enough to ask! My policy so far has been to basically only work on my own projects. I assume you're based in the US? I'm in the EU and the shipping, import declarations etc. would also make it quite complicated. For those reasons I'll have to decline the offer for now. I truly appreciate your understanding and support. And who knows, I may change the policy at some point.

[@kadet1945]

Аmazing jewelry work by a watchmaker! Thank you!
