Still watching, but wanted to comment that if I do win, I know a retired gentleman who has a broken and damaged Pepsi GMT that was damaged when he was hit by a car and almost died. I would choose to have his watch restored and you can give this one to someone else!
quickest i have ever replied to an upload, this watch is beautiful, the dial and the crystal are amazing and as a Seiko lover this is as good as it gets from my point of view and the amount of work and skill put into it makes it priceless. love it. Also my birthday on October 10th so could be a lovely late present 😂

Thank you for sharing these videos. I recently started watch tinkering and buy misc. watches on ebay. But the most sophisticated task I have done so far is switching a dail, usually I just replace batteries. I have never torn into a movement so I find this stuff fascinating!
Just an amazing work, really artistic
That is a beautiful watch! And, as usual, and very detailed and informative video.
The arbor possibly became disengaged when you were letting the power out of the mainspring. You might have gone a little past fully unpowered, and twisted the arbor out of engagement.
Good point! I hadn’t considered that but you’re absolutely right. That’s likely what did it.
I have been a sub for about a year I guess.
I have loved Seiko for decades.
I have a 6m25 that I bought new and wore as a daily watch for decades.
Before that I had a Pepsi chronograph that I bought when I was in the Army in 1976.
I am a retired aerospace tool maker and inspector so I enjoy very technical videos.
I like your style or I guess I wouldn't be a sub!
Here is wishing you well to 1M subs!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Bravo! That watch is beautiful. WOW! Congratulations on crossing that 15K milestone. You have a great channel and I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us in the future. Pleeeeeeeease enter me in your giveaway. I would proudly wear this watch. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Dig your videos Adam ! Got my first watch (timex) in 1973 for Jr. High graduation ... felt like I was a grownup ! This watch is the same year , but way better and you did it justice by making it brand new again . Thanks for the memory! 😀
Beautiful JDM green dial with faceted crystal!! Love your channel!! Good luck to everyone.
Great work, Adam! I knew you'd do this watch justice. I just finished restoring a 7009a movement, and I noticed the 7019a looks almost identical. The difference is more jewels and less plastic on the 7019a. Like i said over on Patreon, if I'm lucky enough to win this giveaway, I'm gonna have to take this off your hands. Such a beautiful piece with that sunburst dial and faceted crystal.
I would have my fathers Seiko serviced. As nice as I think this watch is, having my pop's watch functioning properly would make me much happier.
Holy moly! I was about to buy a similar watch but missed out . I do have a Actus case with the same crystal, but the back is missing. But also, I've promised my self to not pile up on old watches untill I've learned how to do basic service on my current Seiko 5 (7009-876A). But between the two, Id rather take this. I love the hands on this Actus, the look pretty close to the ones on my watch! Tho I have lume on mine. The lume looks great, but the glow is gone :)
Edit. You should show how you regulate a new Seiko!
Nicely done my dude! I have never owned a Seiko before, so this would be a perfect and beautiful one to start with! Lol!
Or i might see if you can fix my wife's watch! She would really enjoy having her grandma's watch working again.
Congratulations on your 15k and awesome work on this beautifully serviced Seiko!
You do amazing work, you work really fast....then I realized I had the video on 2X speed.
Seriously gorgeous. I’m just getting into the watchmaking hobby myself, and look forward to having the skills to tackle projects as in-depth as yourself. Great commentary and details throughout. Cheers!
Belo modelo, um relógio clássico da Seiko, parabéns pelo vídeo.
Awesome restoration and beautiful dial! I always enjoy your informative videos and this will eventually get me to start servicing a watch and learn the process. Good luck everyone!
It is always admirable how brilliant the watches become in your hands. What a beautiful watch, thank you for this great video and the effort you go to every time to share it with us, knowing how much effort/time it takes in the background. Thanks again and I wish you a wonderful and relaxing weekend.
Hairspring work! Not for the faint of heart! Great restoration and footage as usual. Congrats on the 15k, and counting!
I love this watch. You do an excellent job on picking interesting watches to give away.
Your channel is so enjoyable, that I've started to pick up the hobby. Thanks.
Crossing fingers I'm picked for such a beautiful watch to own.
That crystal design absolutely took my breath away. It's so mesmerizing!
Hope I win! Great content glad to be a pateron member.
I'm honored that you are. Thanks so much.
Studying watchmaking and I learn loads from your vides. Thank you so much.
I really admire your work and am picking up watchmaking as a hobby by following your steps.
Seiko is one of my top favorite brands. I had a JDM from my time stationed in Okinawa...sadly, it was misplaced in a move years and years ago, and I am currently Seiko-less. Hopefully whoever wins it, will cherish it for the gem they are.
New Sub as of a couple weeks ago! Love running the videos while I do custom builds! Can't wait to get to where I can service movements.
This is an absolute stunner of a watch. I didn't realize that JDM watches were so different (mainly the lack of lume). Always learning something on your channel. Keep up the good work, I tune in all the time.
I would definitely like to own this watch. I'm a big fan of the green dials that Seiko makes.
Congrats on 15k subscribers sir! This Seiko looks amazing after the amazing work you did refurbishing this sweet watch. I don't think i could ever have the patience to do work like this but I definitely appreciate your craftsmanship. I had a cheap watch like 10 yrs ago with an angled crystal like that and loved it. The dial is also stunning and let's be real..who doesn't love a Seiko!? Much love from ILLINOIS my friend and good luck everyone!👊👍🤙
Congratulations for 15K subscribers. This Seiko, honestly, is a very beautiful watch, it's a shame that it's no longer manufactured, Seiko doesn't even manufacture something similar today, it is a big big shame.
I have a weakness for green dialed watches and this one is probably the most beautiful on I've ever seen. I would be terrified to ever wear it though. I would love to have my Beforte Automatic worked on, that's probably what I'd choose if I won.
whoever wins this watch will be very happy and lucky. Looks amazing . Love the colour and style. It's ageless. really enjoy your videos, they are informative, entertaining and relaxing all at the same time. Not an easy feat to achieve.
Excellent job, beautiful dial, great to watch. Cheers Weekend watch repair.
Fantastic work! I was surprised that you were able to find a crystal like that. I appreciate the amount of pride you take in your work. It is a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing with us.
I usually service pocket watches, I am about to start work on my first wristwatch, a Seiko 6105, I’m a bit nervous servicing my first wristwatch but watching your videos makes me more confidant. Your TH-cam videos are informative and extremely helpful, thank you so much, Cheers Chris.😁
Amazing watch. That faceted crystal is something special.
Totally awesome, the first mechanical watch I ever bought was a Seiko, I love vintage styles like this. Great job, Adam, and good luck to everyone else who entered!
Once again, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the process of turning a battered watch into a gem.! What an attractive dial and movement.! Thank You, for sharing the artisan workmanship.!
man I LOVE the "Turtle" type case. my brother gave me a custom built watch Noah Fuller Tsunami 10 years ago and I wear it every day. This Seiko restoration is BEATIFUL. would love to be the lucky winner. keeping my fingers crossed.
Congrats on 15k subscribers! Before you know it you'll be at 100k! Thanks for the awesome content and for giving these vintage beauties a 2nd life!
I enjoy your videos very much. I was inspired to do a little maintenance on my Waltham pocket watch. You make it look so easy. I quickly realized that it isn't and I gained a new respect for your abilities. 😊
Congrats on the 15K !
Seems like a long time since I discovered the channel with the bullhead videos, but just a year since first posting!
Throwing my keys in the bowl for the comp...I have a few interesting non-working watches I'd be willing to post should the stars align.
I had 2 Seikos from the mid to late 70s. One was purchased at the Navy Exchange in Rota Spain, the other in the ships store on the USS Guadalcanal.
Gorgeous watch and fantastic service you done on it. Like to congratulate you again for reaching the 15K mark on subscribers. Very kind of you doing this give away.
I absolutely love everything about this watch! It was a great video to watch, the dial in beautiful, the faceted crystal it by far my favorite style, the offset stem position...what's not to love! I find it hard to believe you can let go of it, but some lucky winner is going to be very happy!. Congrats again on busting through 15K subscribers. Just a side note.....this watch certainly deserved a trip into space. :)
I've been watching you and Wristwatch revival for the past year or so, been wanting to get into the watchmaking hobby someday when I have some extra money for tools. Anyway thanks for the content and the giveaway too. I'm sure you'll make someone very happy, God bless
This is one of the best Green Dial watches I've seen. The faceted crystal just makes it pop.
It looks like you did a great job on the service and case clean up.
Looking forward to winning this watch.
What a good looking Seiko. Nice job. Your videos are fantastic. Thanks.
As usual Adam, another great video, and I love that green dial, it’s amazing once you get it off the movement and take the hands off. Your channel is my go to when I’m trying to learn how to become a better watchmaker. Watching you service your watches, and listening to your commentary has not only taught me some of the ins and outs of repairing watches, but you’ve also been helping me to keep cool, especially when springs or tiny wheels go flying into the ether…I’ve learned to keep a small but very powerful magnet close by on my workbench (also known as the wife’s dining room table), and to take a step away when I find myself getting a little frustrated.
Best looking watch from the best watchmaker I know, priceless !
Congratulations on reaching 15K subscribers. Good job ! And, I love JDM Seiko watch. 🙂
Congrats on this milestone achievement, which is well earned through your hard work and dedication. Really appreciate all that you do for your viewers. All the best. Take care.
Huge congrats to 15k Subscribers. I love your work and attention to detail. Please keep up the hard work and hopefully soon I will be able to repair my own watches. Explaining things in easy way for an old man to understand!!
Nice restoration. Such a unique crystal. Here's hoping! Congrats on 15k.
That would be a hard call, this time piece is exquisite! However, I’ve got a vintage zodiac, that I would love to be able to wear. I’m recently down the rabbit hole of watch repair, but there is no way I’m touching a zodiac yet.
Thanks for another great video with a beautiful watch. I think Seiko could have gotten by on stamping "Grand Seiko" on that amazing dial. I'm glad you decided to go all the way with this watch, the end result really shows its worthiness. keep up the good work and keep on creating great videos for us all to watch⌚ looking forward on the next one.
Beautiful job and one of the best Seikos I've seen on YT, one I would love to own but sadly I will be away when the winner is chosen and would not be in a position to make contact.....the upside is I will be sailing on the Queen Anne looking for those elusive northern lights, good luck all.
Subscribed! For quite some time! And I hope i win this watch! I love it! And i love your content. I’m a newby at watch repair and love following along when I’m attempting a repair!
Well that just makes the choice even harder, love it! Absolutely brilliant job, your camera work is truely the best, WOW!
I remember as a child my father wore a Seiko. Not this model, but a Seiko none the less. I would love to win this watch. Hopefully it could fit a 9" wrist. I'm a big guy 😊
Now messing up my own watches. I gotta get a timegrapher. Wonderful dial ,would love something like that. Cool
I love watching your videos. You did an EXCELLENT job on this nice Seiko.
I hope I get to win this watch! I already had my planet ocean 2500C serviced in April but trust me if I won this I would rock this as my next daily wear
I love Seiko watches and wear a 7009a and a 4006a at times. Both are pretty well-used and could use some attention. I would love to add one in good shape to my selection!
Regarding Seiko not using lume….understandably, they may be a bit reluctant to have anything to do with nuclear radioactivity. Can’t blame them.
All I've done up to now is assemble Seiko clones; I've got too many hobbies to pick up full-blown watchmaking, but watching others will be a good substitute.
I think we all appreciate what you do on this channel and just speaking for myself you were the original watch repair channel I started looking at several months ago. Since then I have started my own process of trying to collect some interesting new watches, being hesitant to dive into used pieces until I knew more. But, I'm hoping over time I can expand my small collection in that direction but it's been a real pleasure learning about these very cool ways of marking time. Thanks!
I have watched your work for some time and as a fellow hobbyist, your work is some of the best. Absolutely amazing watch.
Love the videos. Been struggling with my first watch, but I’m still trying.
A great video Adam. I have been watching you since you started. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you
Already subbed, but I dig this channel for the informal hobbyist approach. r/seikomods represent!
Nice vintage watch and love that faceted crystal. Also good to learn what "JDM" means. Thank you for another great watch service video.
Great job on the service. I learn so much from your videos. I am working on a 1969 Seiko. The green looks very elegant.
Congrats on the milestone! Love your work, I would like to dabble in watch restoration in the future it seems like a very rewarding process.
Love the look of the watch and thanks for the opportunity to potentially enjoy it first hand!
Nothing but love for the watch and the channel. I enjoy every project you post. Thanks
Never seen a crystal quite like that. Really pops. So cool that you went above and beyond tracking down the NOS
I can't believe that faceted crystal. Another rabbit hole I am sure I will be disappearing down this weekend.
Love the content Adam. I have slowly been working on my own watches and been ok with the service. They have been quartz watches but small steps
That watch has an amazing dial. You do such great work and make it fun to watch. Please keep making videos.
I've always found mechanical watches fascinating, and your videos are wonderful when I'm winding down in the evening
Absolutely gorgeous, love the chunky indices! Very nice job on the case, candy for the eyes!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and getting me into mechanical watches!
Amazing work Adam! And congrats for the 15K subscribers😎
i baught a watch like that back in 1973 when I was in Okinawa, but it got destroyed 4 months later. I still long for that watch.
thank you for the videos and the giveaway. always enjoy your commentary
Thanks for all your videos! Helps a ton when tinkering with my own watches!
Your videos have been really inspiring and helpful. Been gathering stuff to give this a try myself. Keep up the good work!
I watch every video. Your work is more in depth than anyone else I've seen. You really keep my interest Beginning to end. I have learned a lot from you. Thanks for the awesome content!
Absolutely beautiful work. Good luck to everyone.
Damn. Awesome. Would love to win this. UPS does deliver to Canada right?
There is nothing like a wonderful vintage seiko you did a magnificent job congratulations on a wonderful achievement let's keep it going
4:49 WOW..... That's beautiful 😍 seiko's always been good with that sunburst
What a gorgeous watch. Never mind the contest. I’ll trade you my eternal soul straight up.
I was just thinking the other day I need a green face watch but Wow that beveled crystal really makes the dial pop!
Great video! Really enjoy watching with some snacks
Nice work! I am a pocket watch hobbyist. Glad to see you have lots of interested viewers.
Beautiful watch. Thanks for teaching us how to service them. One day I will also take a project like this.
I love to watch these restoration videos. I find them so relaxing. Yours is one of the best. Thank you for sharing your talent 👍👍👍👍👍
Congrats on the growing channel! I love the color, this one turned out GREAT!!
