I discovered your channel and love going through all these videosl I have a beautiful old seiko bullhead I'm hoping to get a replacement saphire crystal for it. What are the dimensions for a crystal that I'd need to look out for? I assume all 6138's have the same crystal size.
Not all 6138 crystals are the same. You will need a 340W14GN00.

Hola amigo, este reloj me llego hace poco un gran amigo me lo regaló, solo estoy en duda si su bisel en azul es original a este modelo, he tratado de buscar estos colores y no hay mucha información, te agradezco si compartes si este bisel azulado pertenece a este modelo, saludos y un gran abrazo de santiago 🇨🇱
I think it’s ok to use the hand winding if you want to quickly put a little power to get it going. I have always thought that the 6138 hand winding was somewhat of afterthought. It isn’t the most robust mechanism. I still think the best way is to let the automatic system do the job.
A beautiful watch! I love it when you keep family memories alive.
Thanks for watching, Steve!
Great work as always Dan. And another stunner back to full health. Keep well from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thank you, Bruce. It was definitely worth saving this one.
Great work! I'm sure the owner is happy,
Thank you. I think he is very please and will enjoy wearing his father’s timepiece.
How did I miss this…. Oh, it was the holidays. Been on mini-TH-cam “vacay”
welcome back!

These did come with blue bezels and dials. Cheers!
So should you NOT hand wind if you plan on not wearing your Automatic for the day ? Just let it stop and reset it when you get it back on your wrist ?
