That high beat mainspring upgrade seems to be really working out. Awesome! 🍻

I love pre Willard 6105, good job

[@RoseRealty]

I have an 8000T. Not sure what the T stands for. June 68 with a G stamp. It runs shortly and stops. Ill try the vigorous wind for 5 minutes. Thank you. I too would like to send it to you since it was purchased / owned by my uncle who passed in the conflict and I need it treated with respect.

Very interesting experiment. Do you think that Seiko did not originally put in a thicker mainspring because it would cause extra stress on other parts and cause them to wear out faster?

Great amplitude

[@andywilliamson3023]

Beautiful! Do they always have the plastic spacer between dial and movement? Edit: brilliantly I convinced myself mine didn't... of course it actually does!

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

Yes they do

[@renay2305]

Great job! I have one from my father he got on Guam in 1969 that I would like to have you work on. How should I contact you for that possibility? Thx for the great work u do!

Another Resist/Proof from early 1970! I will add this to my database

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

You need to tell me more about these.

[@BlairWatchProject]

None of the resist/proofs I’ve seen have dial dates

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

That is very interesting!
