After seeing this video I bought one. Have to agree that this design has integrity and there’s just something that makes it as one of the best GSs ever created.
Thank you for sharing these videos and your blog posts. I am a vintage GS collector and know extensively about the history and design about the watches but lacking on the technical aspects of the movements. Your posts and videos have been a great resource for filling my technical gaps. Please keep the great content going!
I discovered your blog by accident - got entertained, then intrigued, then hooked. The occasional youtube video is just the icing on the cake! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you very much for uploading this video Martin. You really are a treasure when it comes to vintage Seiko and have to say that owning a couple of your restorations I would happily add one or two more given the opportunity. God bless and I hope you continue with the outstanding work.
Lovely work, thanks for sharing! Finding your blog and channel has been fantastic, I really enjoy the passion you put into everything. I am absolutely in love with the mid 60s-70s line-ups from Seiko, there are so many great designs and under-appreciated movements. Cheers!
Great vid Martin, I have the GS with the worn medallion you are mentioning! That’s a very beautiful watch that you have worked on, keep doing your vids please!
Seeing the two GS side by side, it shows how design language changed over to the clunkier '70s motifs evidenced in many areas of consumer products. We see some current watches mimic the earlier "classic" style; not sure when/if many '70s ideas will be copied as often. But that 6146 of yours sure is special. Nicely done!
Both the 6245 and 6146 are products of the 1960's but yes, they have quite different looks. I had always thought of the 62GS as something elegant and original in its design but somehow in looking at these two next to one another, the 61GS appears the more coherent. Perhaps that is just for this particular variant with the cross dial. Anyway, thanks for your comment!
Great review! I have the 6146 already and a 6246 en route. In my opinion, a steal at current market prices. By any chance, where did you get those straps?
Good day! i have the same watch, the problem is when the day is changing. the mechanism doesn't change after 12mn or sometimes not. Even if I change it manually, it would not work. what might be the problem??
It is difficult to say for sure without the watch in hand, but options might include the day wheel having become dislodged or decoupled from the day jumper spring or the star fitted to the rear of the day wheel is spinning loose and no longer able to rotate the wheel. Whichever of these, or indeed something else, your only real option is to get someone to dismantle the calendar side and investigate further.
@@istekulindoy the day wheel is the disk with the days printed on it. It is made from metal as is the star fixed to its rear. I don't think there are any plastic parts used in the 6146 calendar.
My GOD, I love the late 60s Grand Seiko and King Seiko watches. They are just so beautiful. Great video.
Thank you!

Very nice, informative video Martin. I have one of the modern Hi-Beat models SBGH267 and watched your video with great interest.
Glad to hear you found it interesting. Thanks for the feedback.

Gorgeous watch! Ver pay informative video too.
Thank you!
Hi, i just found out this video. Do you know about your GS61 OEM buckle? Is it the one with GS logo with 15mm width?
This movement uses diashok correct? It looks similar to etachoc. Are they actually related?
Hope you enjoy this beautiful piece in good health.
I don't know when etachoc was developed but Diashock has been around since the late 1950s.
What is the lift angle for this movement?
54.4 degrees

@@amateurwatchfettler thank you for answering. Is the day wheel made of metal or plastic?

@@amateurwatchfettler glad to know that. I thought it is the same with the KS. Thank you for clarifying and fast reply! You earn a sub! :)
How much this watch is worth now? Anyone know?
very nice work & comparison, sub'd!
Thank you very much!
Seiko 💯
