I would love to see a seiko bracelet state of the collection. So many great vintage designs were made. Just got in the GS SBGX355 titanium 9f 37mm snowflake or Quartzflake. The finishing is incredible.

Mail call question! On a 6139, can a worn hammer face cause a misalignment of the chrono hand when resetting? I’ve worked on several 6139’s that reset to the right of 12:00 by about a half second. The previous watchmakers just bent the chrono hand to the left to realign it. They all seem to have the exact same misalignment. Is this just coincidence? Thanks for your continued commitment to these videos!!

Happy late thanksgiving to you all. We need a shot of Spencer driving Greenbean while wearing a cheese cutter hat and his Submariner Watch or the Speedy.

Hey team. Question for next mailcall: With all the plastic components inside our beloved Seiko movements, do you think the time will come for 3D printed parts to start entering the market once the genuine Seiko parts start drying up? Is it even at all possible to make Seiko parts with a 3D printer? Lots of love from the Aussie bush (cicadas are deafening this summer, but I love them)

Go to Leiden city, and see where the folks of the Mayflower used to live before they left for the colonies.. The Pilgrim story is an adventure that has become the best-known part of the American-Dutch heritage. The Pilgrims, fleeing from religious persecution in England, found refuge in Leiden in The Netherlands before they emigrated in 1620 on the "Mayflower" to America, where they established Plymouth Colony,

Sweet Potato Pie is a slurry of bolied sweet potatoes, butter, sugar and cream (of some sort) baked in a pie shell. Made properly and served chilled it is a delight to the senses and a hazard to the arteries. Not to be confused with any number of marshmallow topped baked yam affairs that are their own category of regret.

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

thanks! It was my dad's; he brought it back from a work trip to Germany in the 1970s. It hung in his garage from then until it was given to me.

hand luming 6309 et al never looks factory but it can still look good.
