SAVED FROM THE GARBAGE! For AH: Seiko 7548-7000 - July 25, 2024

[@TonyManero88]

There is something I enjoy about watching you service a 7548. These models demonstrate that quartz movements are to be respected and are indeed reliable. I've been wanting to add one to my collection for a while.

[@boydovens4180]

Every watch that has been owned has a story to tell , Some are pretty amazing having been to Hell and back and survived .

[@SvenEugenots]

Recently serviced my first 7546 and 8's, such an elegant and well designed movement!

[@jamessmith6402]

Thanks Spencer that's a great looking watch 😊

A Seiko Quartztester-sweet!! Just got my hands on a King Quartz from 1979. One of the Twin Quartz models. Would love to send it your way for a service one of these days

[@jacktorana8628]

I have lost count on how many of these videos that you have done Spencer and I'm still glued to your passion that comes through your narrative. Thank you for another great service on a Seiko classic quartz.

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

Glad you like them!

A lovely watch Spencer, i do like the black dial with the grey/slate bezel, and that bracelet is so nice, it looks quality. Well done 👍 Au

[@Leo-Crespi]

It looks amazing, best ghost bezel ever. Beautiful.

[@joshuabriggs7114]

Awesome! Amazing the robust complexity of this quartz treasure! Thanks Spencer!

[@ryanwalters646]

What an amazing story and servicing experience! Love that it was saved from oblivion! Well done, Spencer!

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

Thank you!

[@brucebarlow6604]

Man a great find especially with its bracelet. Yep it’s got that good vibe feeling

[@markcreighton3733]

my 3 x 7548s all run so well after 40yrs..............oldest one is built Sept 1978

[@thehunt226]

Spectacular piece! What Stories it could tell.....(go, grabbing my old 007)

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

Right on!

[@aaroncostello8812]

Lol, I have an '81 -700B in very similar unrestored condition that is my "beater watch". Not saved from the trash, but it only cost $27. New battery, new gaskets, used bracelet. Keeps better time than most of my new watches!

[@Supercruze]

HI Spencer. Beautiful work and another one saved. Wonder if you might consider a video on how you go about jeweling the center wheel port on these 7548/7549s. I hear you can use the center jewel from a 6309 for these. Keep up the great work. The metal is very thin at that point on the main plate.

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

Great suggestion!

I have a 76-77 Seiko SQ100, a 83 Seiko SQ100, and two Pulsars a World Timer and a Chrono, Been unpowered for decades, stored in a drawer in a dry environment. I tried to recently replace the batteries in the latter 3 watches, but they don't run correctly. The 83 Seiko doesn't run at all, while the Pulsars are 'smart' quartz watches and I can't the reset any of the hands to run forward, only backwards. Hands don't move forward for any of their functions. Are these watches shot? Or can it be the quality of my replacement batteries off Amazon? I would hate to throw these away as they have sentimental value. The 76-77 Seiko SQ100 is a Royal Oak style sport model, and was my very first real watch at 13. Survived to be with me to this day. The latter 3 were gifts from my girlfriends.

I liked the way you picked up the hand using the tweezers on the inside of the tube 11:29 , skills learnt through repetition are so cool to see in action, Lovely Job Spencer. Question: when using the white handled no touch hand removers, I find it very harsh to the point I panic thinking I will crush the hand as it takes some effort to remove them, any advice on best use would be much appreciated, Thanks.

[@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands]

Good morning : :)

[@PharaohMan007]

Was this a precursor to the Seiko 5, with the exception of the quartz movement?

[@theemark]

Such a nice watch. When are we going to get the actual assembly of it.

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

My first duty is to the customer's watch, so I really don't want to split my attention between a camera and a rebuild. 100% focus on the watch.

[@nickhalverson5330]

I'd like to use one of these as a daily, but it would need lume good enough to be able to read in the middle of the night. I've heard you say you value the same. How do you recommend reluming these vintage divers so that you can read them at night, but keeping the character of the original (avoiding blobby greenish lume)?

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

I relume the hands on the underside - "underluming" I call it. Surface lume looks the same, the added oomph of the new lume can be charged up enough to help out the old lume which will still glow a bit on these. It won't be bright enough to read a book by but it should work to make reading the time doable.

[@nickhalverson5330]

@@SpencerKleinVintageWatch does the underlume cast enough light on the dial that reading the time is not a problem, if the lume on the dial is not working any longer?

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

If you charge the heck out of it, but on a black dial that makes it the bouncing light harder to see. it DOES help though.
