I have just stripped a Seiko 6309 for my first time ever thanks to this video. It was scary but not as bad as I thought. It is so much smaller than it seems in videos. Putting it back together will be the test. It's been a good learning curve though. Thanks for your video 👍.
Great work and video. One piece of advice, ditch the kitchen towel, it’s shedding fibres and doesn’t give you a stable surface for doing things like oiling jewels. Master watchmaker George Daniels used a sheet of Bristol paper, but just normal A4 would be better than the towel.
This was the same movement I finished up last week on 1985 diver. It was advertised as a 21 jewel, and i was a little disappointed when i opened it up for the first time...but it was an early purchase in my repair journey and i didnt really know what i was looking at. It was a great rebuild however, and...someone mentioned a timegrapher app, i have one on my phone and love it...the watch is running in the minus 10sec/day range. Ordered some new gaskets for it, and its my daily driver.
Same man, it's odd how when youre on a journey you feel you're doing a great job, but then looking back you realise what mistakes and errors you were making! Excellent stuff, I'm gonna have to look up this app I think...
I have a Seiko 5 which has no crown wheel. The only means of control is a button in roughly the 10 position, but on the outer edge of the watch. Unfortunatlely, the power unit died some 5 or 6 years ago, which, unfortunately happened when the Seiko factory was flooded by a tsunami, so a power module was out of the question. It's serial number is 030198. In truth, I'm not sure if that might be the year of manufacture i.e. 3rd January 1998.
Tidy rebuild there, looks amazing now with a bit of tlc, I do recommend the app for checking the watch after a rebuild it’s so easy to use and only needs a pair of earbuds with a microphone on them to listen to the watch and hey presto you have a timer graph and tbh it’s invaluable once you start using it. Hope to see more watch builds you have good narrating skills and well documented footage. 👏😉🍻
Very attractive and fascinating watch. With the green, sharp hour markers. Good work - but should sand and polish up the case. It's missing .. And restore, polish and use the bracelet. Its that det watch is best looking whit.
Actually, while you did have more oil than needed, an old watchmaker told me more damage is done to watches by folks that under-oil them. Another tip, try using a razor blade instead of a knife to remove the bezel. BTW, did you count the jewels to see if there were 21?
Men and children sitting barefoot on the ground make these “Seiko” watches mainly from parts taken out of many other old Seiko watches and they use face plates that are made in India that they think looks groovy but for the most part Indian face plates are very colorful and not that very pleaseing to look at by pretty much the rest of the world.
Mumbai Special no chance at all that face is from the factory. It’s a good bet that back plate is from a different watch, who knows what the history is of the individual parts. The Indian watch makers do not know how to service the movement, they merely take movements that seem to work’ish and use them in their builds.

That's no issue bud.
Far as I can see there's nought to loose and potentially a lot to gain!
first time i see someone hand winding the main spring... i loved it
You gotta do what you gotta do!
Thanks so much for this mate! Really appreciate the work you went to - it's so cool to see how much goes into it!
My pleasure my man, glad you enjoyed it 😁
PUT IT "WORKING" without a professional service your damaging it, after sometime your watch will be garbage, it will never workanymore with precision-
@@anteneupitrajust why , keep it buttoned
Happy birthday 😊

My dad had this watch! Nostalgia

Spot on. Thanks 😊

Solid restoration. Decent timepiece.

Cheers man! That's very kind of you.
I didn't know the app was a thing, what a fantastic idea! Thanks for the heads up
You’re doing a great job
You're very kind! Thanks

I heard somewhere a “bridge” is secured, or screwed down, at both ends. A “cock” is only secured at one end.
wow
Homie, you can get a watch winding tool set for about 40 bucks
You're absolutely right, and its something to invest it! They're around £65 here I think
A face only a Seiko doctor could love.😁😒
Надо было ещё больше смазки в барабан натолкать 😂
Hi I have one of these that I would like servicing is this something that you would do for me

Cheers for the advice man 😊 it's always a fine line, and if you ask 3 different people their thoughts you'll get 3 different answers!
I did not, no
@@LRWatchRepair I skimmed the video and only see 17.
I suppose from my inexperience I wouldn't know where the other 4 are
that other week days are arabic سبت احد اثنين ثلاث اربعا جمعة, seiko is also very popular in the middle east and arabic countries
Arabic! Perfect. Thank you for that! I had a complete lapse. Of memory for what the language was.
Thankyou so much 🙌

The day and date rings won't align on the left because 31 is odd and 14 is even 😉

Hai
6309 only has 17 jewels, the dial is fake
Maybe not fake so much as off the wrong watch?
@@LRWatchRepairno. Fake. Very fake. Seiko never produced this.
Fair enough, interesting though!
@@faitestealerAgreed, that face is way too ugly to be a factory Seiko.
اعتقد انك وضعت الكثير من الزيت
