Un grand merci pour la restauration de cette montre que j'ai achetée vers 1980 à mon mari , maintenant décédé et elle revient à mon fils et peut-être ensuite à mon petit fils, la vidéo magnifique et très émouvante Merci à vous , vous faites des heureux
Merci à vous de m'avoir confié cette superbe montre. Je suis ravi de travailler sur des montres qui ont une vrai histoire et une importance pour les gens.
@@FrenchWatchCollector Effectivement Merci pour la restauration, hâte de pouvoir la porter. J'avais déjà vu pas mal de vos vidéos sur la chaine FR, mais de voir sa montre en cours de restauration c'et juste top. Merci Encore Julien
Tres Bien...what a great job on restoring that classic Seiko. Was certainly due for it. Im sure the owner will love it and wear it in good health as a tribute to its original owner. Love these stories. Kudos to you.......!!
Super montre Seiko, mouvement assez différent évidemment avec le chrono, mais j’aime bien travailler les Seiko !! Super beau résultat final et super lecture du grapheur !! Merci de partager super intéressant comme tu le fais si bien ! Mes salutations !! ✨👌
First of all: thank you for this beautiful video of a most instructive and thoughtful service of a really cool watch. Though I still feel that you could talk less, this is already much better! Most important, though, is that you did what many famous and well-renowned companies shy away from: service a watch that is worth servicing and spend some tender loving care on it. Kudos to you. It is really sad to see that most watch manufacturers will not service your old watches or that they will do it in a way that reduces the value of your vintage watch to almost 0. Rolex is a very bad example for the this - at horrendous costs. What is more, servicing a vintage watch has become very expensive anyway. Here in Switzerland, I was given an estimate of (€) CHF 1'410.85 to service a faultless and beautiful Tissot PR-516, which is absolutely crazy for a watch with just two added complications (automatic and date). You could never sell the watch at that price. This obviously means that you need to have a friend to service your watches. You seem to fit that profile, which is very nice.
Thank you so much for the nice comment. 1400€ to service a watch, this is crazy. It is the price from a big brand like Vacheron or AP would take to service your watch. My price are much lower to service a simple watch so I would be more than happy to help.
@@FrenchWatchCollector Thank you for your generous offer, but I had it serviced for CHF (€) 500, which is still a lot, but since I got the watch as a teenager in 1976, it was worth it. And since there are many more watches in my collection, I will certainly consider your offer in the future. Meanwhile, continue to present us with many more of your wonderful videos. All the best!
You have to type of opening. The one on top and some open in half in the middle of the side wall. It it opens on the top just pressed on the side the and the top should come out. If its is opening on the middle you need to use a blade to open it up like a case back
@@FrenchWatchCollector You certainly made it look easy. I have one I'm struggling to open and I don't really see the logic of how pressing down on the sides when it's resting on a small anvil can make the top come out. Yet...I saw it with my own eyes on your video. I guess I'll just keep trying.
I recently Purchased one, and who every worked on it before didn't align the number bezel correctly and added Yellow chronograph hands. I plan on restoring the watch with original parts, but the moment seems to been worked on and re-oiled as its keeping time to the second day I wear it. So I make have gotten very lucky with a only a slightly botched cosmetic issues that I should be able to fix myself. just one question I have is who did you you remove the outer bezel ring ?
I have a sentimental Heuer Autavia Viceroy model I purchased in HS and it isn't working correctly. Two shops looked it over and said it's fine. It stops running after a few hours, either with the second hand running or not, either worn or on the watch winder...HELP!!
NOT TRUE the 7750 has at least 2 plastic parts (hour lock, and chrono seconds hand friction piece) so "SWISS" movements include the "CHEAP" plastic parts too.
Another excellent restoration! Thanks for sharing. Regards Cristian
Thanks Cristian
Excellent work greetings from Philadelphia USA
Thank you John
This champagne color of the dial is really lovely. My favorite dial color.
Yes it is so nice
Beautiful job! Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge. I have learned so much from watching your channel. Thank you..
My pleasure
I would like to add a vintage Seiko chrono to my collection some day. The "magic lever" really is ingenious. Excellent work on a beautiful watch.
Many thanks!
Beautifull watch. I like the day/date setting by means of pushing the crown-never seen that before-interesting. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you
Great video man, as always
Thank you Lucas

Seiko 6139 6040 (silverghost) one of the brightest watch in 6139 lineup. I have one in my collection
Yes it is one of my favorit too

@@ygrbooks it would be a bit cheaper but we can see later. Will be very happy to service your watch
Excellent work on such a complex watch. What are the sizes of your tweezers? Thanks.
I like to use a number 5
One tip for these - you don't need to lubricate the Viton rubber crystal gasket in Seikos.
Thank you for the tip
🔥🔥‼️®️™️
I'm struggling to open the main spring barrel. Is there a trick to this. You make it look very easy.

Bonjour. Etes-vous a votre compte? Quel est l'avenir du metier d'horloger en France? Merci pour vos reponses.
Bonjour, oui je vais ça à mon compte. Je pense qu’il a un très bon avenir.
@@FrenchWatchCollector Merci pour votre réponse. Bonne semaine.
I have to say Seiko has some of the most gorges dials from entry-level watches up to their most expensive. Those pusher housings.....🤢🤮
I agree with you. They are very nice.
