- This very attractive Seiko Lord Matic (LM) with a gorgeous chocolate dial needed a service and the day date complication sorting out. In this video I do a complete strip down and reassembly of this watch and fix the day date issue.
Seiko don't make the Lord Matic anymore. This very attractive piece from seiko I guess would be the new equivalent ... amzn.to/2QVeekq

Just started doing watches after repairing clocks for a living for about 8 years. Bought a seiko LM 5606-8070 last week and couldn't figure out the C clip on the day of the week dial. Glad I watched this before trying to figure it out myself!
Hey Scott nice one! I am saving clocks for when I am a properly old guy and my hands maybe shake too much for this stuff. Thanks for the feedback.
Great video. I love the names of watches from back in the day. Lord Matic. What a great name and how perfect for this watch. Thank you, Richard.
Thanks Time Hill .... Yes some of the Seiko names are very cool! Thanks for the feedback. Richard
Thanks for this review. It is always a great pleasure to see a true watchmaker at work and explain the working of the movement. Greatings from the Netherlands! ⌚
Thank you Richard great vid carnt waight to see your other vids coming up shortly too...!!
I've got myself my first mechanical alarm, a very nice Poljot Alarm in the square case and surprisingly cheap too. Its a Soviet piece and a very lovely looking movement and like much Soviet stuff is super functional and utilitarian yet delivers a good timekeeping. I have several Seiko's now well other branded Seiko's plus my two 7009's but yet to get any of my grails like a Bellmatic, Pilot, Calculator but the gods of ebay can be generous as that was how I got my 70009-3100 for £1 and it is flawless save for a slightly chipped crystal.
Cool video, I like the long format tutorial style. Learned a few tings for sure.
The wholes service runs to 1hr 45 mins in two parts ... I figured it might useful for some folks so very please you agree. Thanks again hugeshows! Richard
Excellent work Sir.
Thank you Jon! Nice to hear from you! Richard
I'm facing a day-date corrector problem at the moment. Aftermarket metal parts are available on ebay (from VTA).
Also the lift angle for this movement is 56° not 54.5 so that will pick your amplitude up a little ;-)
Hi Jake ... thanks for the info on the lift angle and I have seen the metal parts but not yet used any. Seems like a good move if you have one of these. Richard
That is quite a nice watch, love the color.
Gotta love a chocolate dial Berth! :)
In my opinion, the 3 most important characteristics of a master watch maker are patience, patience and patience, which you obviously have all 3.
Good job
Thanks Alex!
Thank you!
Beautiful watch ,great job as ever .
really interesting bit about the canon pinion being offset on the 5606. Im curious if you use or find the service manuals useful at all. Also if you ever do any King Seiko of the same vintage?
I have a 5206-5080 that I refinished the case/bracelet and sourced a replacement faceted crystal. It works perfectly except for when I manually try to change the date. The crown does come out to the first position but it refuses to turn.
I know the 56xx family of movements have the issue with the plastic star cracking if you try to change the date during the 'no no' period but the 52xx are not known for that problem.
Any ideas what it could be?
Very good video, I am using it as help with my ks 5626 service. Could you please tell me what lubricants you are using? Thanks!
Hi William ... sure Moebius D5 for the slower pivots, 9010 for the escapement and 9415 for the pallet jewels. Hope this is useful, Richard
Many thanks Richard! I'll source the lubricants right away!:)
Where did you buy the new sock, maybe the mother company Seiko, I think 5606 has stopped producing long ago. I am in Vietnam.
I use two main sources .... www.cousinsuk.com and for vintage seiko parts I get a lot from ebay . Sellers like www.ebay.co.uk/usr/seikoparts14 .... hope this helps.
Hi, i’m looking for a new mainspring for a 5606 movement. Where did you bought yours? Thanks mark
Hi There! www.cousinsuk.com/category/filter/seiko-movement-parts and search on 5606A mainspring .... you will need to set up and account. Hope it's useful. Richard
What app did you use to basically timegraph it with your phone?
hi do you have a link for the mainspring replacement? thank you
I never figured Seiko watches were of a quality worth the expense of a “Rolex Level” type of service, that can be at least $500-$700 ? Probably more, with OEM parts replacement. I figured they were, for the most part, quartz movement, not mechanical with associated complications. Stupid me, you learn something new every day, even closing in on your 6th decade of existence. The plastic parts ruin it for me. I find Rolex movements are pieces of art, with the brass, steel, pink and blue hair spring components hypnotizing to “watch”.
Very good
i got one of these but its different, it opens from the front, its has the same numbers on it 5606-a it has what i think is an after market dial, i got it as a part of a trade it came with a 1940's era bulova tank watch and an old oris women's watch. unfortunately its not working, i got into it and found the balance wheel or spring is bound somehow and i don't want to unscrew anything to try and fix it because i would just screw it up more i believe. but i do want it to be fixed and running, its 23 jewels and an automatic so it says, i looked up the serial number and according to every site i tried it with it was made in may 1971... is there anyone near norwich connecticut u.s. who is willing to take a look at it for me? i have money to fix it just not a lot until spring summer even better since i work outside. any serious reply would be welcome
How did you solve the quickdate situation, On mine, it appears that the sprung cock, near 22 on your video at 16:25, that makes sure the date only moves one date is too strong for the quickdate cog. The date wheel will turn with quickdate adjust when it is not seated properly, and when the wheel is off, the cogs move no problem. I guess it would take a full service like this to fix the problem. I have the black quickdate cog too. My movement is a lot cleaner looking than yours though. Oh, mine won't move even with the dial and spacer taken off.
Other than the quick set wheel issue, is it a good movement?
I have a 5605 (date only version) with the same quickset problem. Mine is a front loader, so a little more work to get the movement out. What would you say is a reasonable price for a repair and service?
I’m getting a 5606 serviced for around $300, but without the quick set problem. I haven’t opened it up myself but I assume that getting the crystal out is not a problem with the right tool
what is the app you are using to check the beat on watch
The radioactive dial of the watch, when worn by a man, when he is standing upright, is at the exact level of his testicles, resulting in a “Chronographical Sterilization” ;)
Hi what was the app u used to check the watch?

Hi Michal! Sorry for the delay in answering this question .... the app is called 'Timegrapher' and is available on the Apple app store. Hope this helps! Thanks again. Richard
Yo tengo el lord matic special lc79 calibre 5216 u es muy diferente
how much is cost?
Мужик хорошо языком часы ремонтирует, а руками не торопится. Начало 5:00
Lots of waffles, loud thinking and very very slow working.
There's certainly some truth in what you say Zafar, although some folks actually like the slow pace and long format. I actually released a muck snappier video today because I too thought I was maybe a bit too waffly. It may be an oversteer in the other direction .... it's getting a lot of views though ...th-cam.com/video/xCWtNg2Xzak/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for the feedback. Richard
@@richardperrettwatchmaker I also watched your fresh video. Am your well wisher and honour every one who is involve in technology & respect the art. Too much music is present in your fresh video which is bit aggressive. Keep it up
