Vintage Bruce Lee Chrono - 5K Giveaway (COMPLETED) - I Was Shocked When I Opened This Watch!

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

At the 54:21 mark I mistakenly said June 7th instead of January 7th. I'm pinning this comment just to correct that error and state that the giveaway will take place on Sunday, January 7th.

It’s a beauty

[@tz250wktm8]

Would you be so kind to list the part numbers & or sources for the crystal & gaskets?

[@DimebagDarrenLowe]

my first exposure to Pogue and Bruce Lee terminology, thanks for decrypting it for me

[@matthewcowley783]

Seiko doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Innovative design, accuracy, reliability and Collectibility. Some of the most beautiful watch faces I’ve seen.

[@ctdavis3277]

Seiko manages to be both good and cheap, but they do so many different things to cover as many segments of the market as possible so sometimes they open themselves up for criticism when they economize to target low cost markets. Still there are plenty of good reasons to respect Seiko.

[@davidmorland4046]

How VERY TRUE!!!.

[@rgg7260]

I believe my first real watch was a Seiko,8829-8000, more less ,I'm on a hunt to discover the model based on the year I was wearing it, this is a fun hobby...however, the vox populi makes it clear it's not in par with say rolex. even when wearing a legit rolex someone may ask: it a real one ¿...seen this a number of times, human nature?..anyway, I'm gonna wear a metal case Seiko cause of old time sake and of course it will be serviced...thanks for the post!

[@ForestWoodworks]

I missed it 😢. I was too caught up in watching my team's season come to a screeching halt. It's a beauty to some lucky person. Congratulations to whomever you are!!

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Next time!

[@Lunalysis]

The one thing Seiko does that has always impressed me is their dials. This one doesn't disappoint!

[@ehrenkrause9861]

Even though my SARB017 is green it has the same radiance. Love my watch

[@GrahamRiverProductio]

That’s an amazing face! I hope to enter for the next give away.

[@Mr1ous]

Great watch, love the history of this piece. Thanks Adam for the great video.

[@tulpenberg4066]

Another incredible journey, and a spectacular result. That watch is stunning. I have now fallen in love with this watch model.

[@dabutcher1011]

Great video, very satisfying to watch and what a great looking watch.

[@brandoncastillo1735]

You can never go wrong with a Seiko! Love the color combination with the blue dial and orange seconds hand

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

I couldn't agree more, on both points!

[@Taxman72]

Now that all of my kids, and Grandkids are financially independent, at 73 years old I'm able to enjoy the world of watches, especially the intricate process of repair. I've even started an inexpensive collection of vintage Timex, Invicta, Boktoc, and Gruens. It's fun! Your channel is fantastic with a morning cup of coffee ☕. Used Seiko's are still above my retirement budget. I have to say that your Bruce Lee giveaway has me on the edge of my seat. Far-out!

[@watchrefurbish]

I'm glad i found your channel. Excellent quality video, voiceover and technical explanations! Thank you so much.

[@eunhjzjined3795]

I really like just relaxing and hanging out with your videos. Congrats on the milestone, and many more!

[@ClayMiller-y9r]

Wow, just seen the link on osa, first time seeing this far into a watch. Very well done

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thank you.

[@kermit7787]

I prefer the vintage seikos over the new ones they just have more character

[@scottmayfield9314]

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!! Love the blue face. Great job on that refurb!

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thank you very much!

[@robertgrace6145]

great video really enjoy the technical tips and the short history of the movements

[@mariomartin6437]

I love what your doing on the channel

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thank you.

[@QMac-i6h]

I just love this whole family of watches🤩you always know your wearing 6139👍🏻Seiko fan

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

As do I. Thanks for watching.

[@honestycounts8720]

Great job. You must get all the best 6139’s. Most don’t run this well on a rebuild.

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thank you. This one was in exceptionally good condition to begin with. Not all of them are like that though, including some others on the channel. I've done enough of them at this point that I can generally get them to run pretty well, but it may require much more work than this one needed. They are robust movements that can usually be brought back from pretty poor conditions if done correctly.

[@raymondo162]

the big reveal on the blue face - WOW. i want it.

[@Whitehousebeetle]

At one time I watch these videos with great interest, at other dates when laying in my bed I fall asleep. Nice soothing voice to relax and check out. Downside is you're start dreaming like you're in a Salvador Dali painting.😊😊😊😊

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Haha!

[@Meulmeester]

Another nice vid, and a give away 🙂. Im in!

[@wanski182]

Great work, and very entertaining. The watch looks fab. Love the dial.

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you very much!

[@spotsterjon74cu]

Great video of a stunning watch. Thanks

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Many thanks!

[@Stunlite]

Incredible to see the ease and knowledge you have with this movement! Wonderfully informative!

[@beardedbicyclist4557]

Wow that dial is insane! Can't believe it's lasted so well, they don't make them like that anymore.

[@ivangarridorodriguez4705]

Incredible Seiko, I'm trying to find one of these to make a restoration like yours!! ....but if i win that one, I'm not going to complain about it😬 Thanks for such an amazing video!!

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thanks a bunch.

[@boujtonboul]

More than 7500 subscribers to celebrate reaching 5000 subscribers! Nice! This Restoration is gorgeous, bravo!

[@pghgb5572]

One minute it’s 1k subs, then in no time at all it’s 5k - then blink and it’s virtually 6.6k! Well deserved recognition - and what a great watch!

[@Tommy-zo7jz]

[@JDurkin2811]

There's something about Seikos from this era that is just amazing, Great work with the restoration.

[@MrOneil262]

I'm not sure how I fell down a watch repair rabbit hole but this channel popped up a week ago for me and I've been enjoying it.

[@ARVINSR59]

I watch you during my brakes I drive a truck and enjoy the way you explain yourself while braking down the watches.😊

[@kentsaga6946]

Been a Seiko fan for ages. Remember my dad wearing one of the original quartz watches. Loved Bruce Lee since being a kid. I was a kid. Such a cool connection to a historical watch maker. Great show!

[@davidaspinwall570]

This movement is amazing and the blue sets it off. I love watching your videos, got my son and I tinkering with watches. Thank you

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

That is fantastic!

[@SergioPena20]

I remember my grandpa used to always brag about the seiko watch he brought back from WW2. If only I could find it. It was really special to him. It sucks that it was lost after he left.

[@insanity6105]

Wow, what a complicated watch. Amazing how you keep all the parts organized.

[@michaelbrophy]

I am always amazed at the level of skill and dedication of youtubers of the watch making community

[@gary.mortonmorton3625]

I have the same watch which I have owned since 1980 and I love it, great video by the way

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

That's fantastic!

[@jakejustjake9722]

Love watching these when I get off work and am about to fall asleep. Thank you for sharing your watch repairs with us!

[@petermaring9325]

Always nice to see the complete breakdown and rebuild of vintage watches and giving them the tlc they deserve. Love your video's Adam, keep up the good work! 👍

[@brandonpersaud2548]

Awesome Seiko. I always wanted a Bruce Lee. They are super cool 🔥🔥🔥

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

I agree, they really are.

[@bluecollar_fpv7190]

After watching a ton of repair videos, I found a channel that predominantly works on my favorite movements I love seikos

[@villeleskinen2686]

Indeed a beautiful watch. I'm pretty new to your channel but I absolutely love the way you do these great videos!

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thank you very much.

[@walther9161]

I have several. A bellmatic from 1970’s and a John player special . Alex Hamilton did an overhaul on it. Seiko’s are great watches. Thanks for posting

[@auzzy89]

I'm just starting to learn about watches. I love videos like these because I get to learn and see the craftsmanship without destroying anything.

[@patrickpantaleon9814]

Love the vintage look of that Seiko. Bruce Lee chose to wear this style watch makes it even cooler 😊

[@keithreed8479]

Absolutely stunning dial,amazing work done to another stunning Seiko

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Many thanks.

[@Mtlmshr]

I’m sure glad you mentioned that you got that tiny piece of fuzz out of there before you did final assembly because it was driving me bonkers🤪🤷👍

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Haha

[@rosandydavid5656]

I always love vintage watches. I am entertained see how they are assembled and work. I love watching your channel.

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thank you very much.

[@AWDTurboPOWAH]

That dial is incredible! Can't believe you found such a gem. 😲 Anyway, wonderful work with this restoration, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for the giveaway! 😁🤞

[@shanen0pxt217]

Congrats on your 5,000 subscribers! Thank You for your generosity with the giveaway.

[@Entobrand71]

Those 70s Seikos are workhorses! Absolutely love them!

[@joshmorsell9172]

I recently began learning more about these Seiko chronographs and think they are phenomenal value for a vintage chronograph.

[@piquetuk]

New watcher new sub, great giveaway. I'm a big fan of Mike at MyRetroWatches so I really enjoyed this. Perfect lazy Sunday afternoon watching, top work.

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thanks so much. I really enjoy his channel as well.

[@saevans63]

That dial is beautiful looks absolutely mint. Congratulations on the growth of your channel. Subbed

[@patzguitarz]

That is a spectacular dial. Seikos of this era are special.

[@JeffHeinenCFI]

I've been watching watchmaking videos for a few months now, and my wife went and got me a watchmaking kit for Xmas. Down the rabbit hole I go!

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

That is awesome!

[@matthewrodriguez2882]

The blue dial on this watch is amazing. I am fascinated with watching these videos. I am looking forward to the day when I can start working on watches.

[@adamdorney5143]

Love this video. Being a fellow Aussie. Good to see some cool stuff come from our side of the world

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

If all your vintage Seikos are like this one, I may need to move to Australia!

[@davidmorland4046]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this ERA of Seikos & it's so FANTASTIC to see your very careful restoration & preservation of this watch as you said they're only original once!!!.

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Daniel323777]

Nice video sir! Keep up the great work!

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thanks a bunch.

[@matthewkjellerson9325]

You did a great job turning this watch around Adam.........

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thank you Matthew.

[@leonama77]

Remember from childhood i opened bunch of watches, always been facinated how it's working. Unfortunatelly never learned to put it back together. Now it's just sattisfing to attend on same process, at least virtually. Great vintage piece.

[@ernestocamero6403]

Seeing your work and listening to your dialog is always a welcome treat. Thank you for keeping these historic pieces alive.

[@J_Benn]

Seiko dials are really in a class of their own. I was surprised how little repair was needed, if only Seiko QC was as good these days as they used to be.

[@thematsg]

That dial is a real beauty. Thank you for making these videos that are both educational and relaxing at the same time.

[@nationsenemy]

That dial is amazing. No question. That is a deep, oceanic cobalt pearl and it is pristine.

[@mitolawman]

Thank you for choosing this watch to give away. Hopefully it will get a second long life on the wrist of its new owner!

[@carstenv.petersen5856]

Seiko has used that deep blue dual color on several models - it is the most incredible blue I have ever seen on watch!

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

I agree, they really did a good job with it.

[@stevekomer7947]

The blue dial is one of my favorite of the old Seiko dials. Thanks for working on these old Seikos - I'm working on a number of these for my collection! Thanks

[@richardborden9135]

This blue dial Seiko is absolutely stunning! Well done!!

[@MagicMikesWatches]

The legendary Seiko 6139 chronograph movement is certainly one for the watch history books! Would love to own this piece of history!

[@bluebox303]

Insanely well preserved 6139! I was under the impression that Bruce Lee only wore a Universal Geneve Polerouter - Cool to know he wore Seiko as well.

[@KelvieCarlile-cf8em]

Seiko is certainly right there at the top in precision and appearance.

[@myrustlife]

Seiko has the most beautiful dials! wonderful job on the service!

[@nuttysquirrelracing]

I love the look of the classic Seikos. They just look right.

[@dillmot]

I love vintage seiko cronos. This one was incredible inside. Thank you for sharing your vast talent and knowledge.

[@manoloramireza]

A Seiko chrono is something that only exists in my wettest dreams. I simply love them

[@loyallimb]

There was many years of cell phone/ smart phone popularity before I was gifted one. I always said that I don't know anyone I like so much I'd carry a phone around to talk with. My opinion hasn't changed much. My phone provides atomic clock accurate time and I don't wear a watch any more. I'm not sure how I stumbled on to your watch repair channels. I've spent hours watching you work. I have a greater appreciation for the watches I wished I could afford when I was a young adult. Thank you for your work.

[@jeffhammond8969]

Awesome restoration! This one is just like one my Dad gave me back when I was in college back in the 70's. I'm still sore that it was stolen from me. Maybe I'll get lucky in the drawing!😁

[@barryessam4731]

To win this watch would be a dream come true,but I’m contented just to watch these beautiful videos.👍👍👍

[@RobertSusani]

Great channel, I have been enjoying watching these types of videos for over a year now. That's how I ended up on this channel. I find it soothing and very interesting to watch and perhaps in the future this will become a personal hobby to work on watches myself. But i don’t have the space for it at the moment. January 7th is my birthday, what a coincidence. Good luck with the channel and I look forward to the next video.

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thanks so much and happy early birthday! Good luck in the giveaway.

[@RobertSusani]

@@WeekendWatchRepair thanks for the birthday congratulations 😁😁

[@DvKROC]

Glad you kept it original. These vintage Seikos are amazing!

[@stevependlebury4881]

Hello Adam, yet another fantastic restoration on the beautiful Seiko Bruce Lee Chrono. I have recently had my now dearly departed fathers Seiko GMT Navitimer 6117-6040 fully restored as a memory for him. I love your videos and keep up the good work. Steve UK.

[@stephenkoenig]

The thumbnail got my attention. I have this same watch on the original bracelet and purchased it new in 1976. I am amazed at the technical wonder inside. A great video and take my hat off to you on your skills. Seiko deserve respect for what they have given the horological world.

[@pitbull142]

Gorgeous blue dial. These old Seikos are fantastic and your craftsmanship is top notch.

[@brandongriffin.mp4]

Congrats on making it to 5k subscribers! Your content is super relaxing and engaging! Anyone who gets the watch is super lucky!

[@danjohnson6026]

Love your explanation of how to service this watch. Thanks for posting these. It really helps all of us understand the mechanisms much better.

[@sanchoc4860]

Always cool to see how nice everything is when the glass comes off.

[@erikanderson3633]

Came to watcht the Bruce Lee of watch repair 😊

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Haha, I wish!

[@jamiecraske1341]

Beautiful watch and your thorough description keeps me coming back for every video!! Keep it up! The seiko chrono addiction is growing!!

[@WeekendWatchRepair]

Thank you. The Seiko chrono addiction only gets worse over time!

[@sonik954]

My favorite watch cases are from the 70's. Beautiful.

[@QMac-i6h]
