My thanks to everyone! The 10K milestone was reached much more quickly than I ever anticipated. The giveaway winner will be announced on Sunday, March 24th. If you’d like to win, please make sure you subscribe to the channel and leave a comment on this video. The winner will most certainly enjoy this watch. It has been running nonstop for several days now and is running beautifully, averaging just a couple seconds per day.
You remind me of Wristwatch Revival, you have great potential! You know whats funny, never could afford an automatic seiko watch, here they are between 250-400 $, almost a sallary. But i was always fascinated about them, the movement, also, started my own jurney to repair watches. Some dream to have a Rolex, i just want a seiko. :D
At the age of 64 I still posses every watch I have ever owned except for my "Water resist" pogue that was stolen when my car was broken into over the winter of 1978 / 1979. It was a great joy to see this one so lovingly brought back to life.
Finally finished getting everything together and I'm officially starting my journey as a "watchmaker". I have a Seagull ST36 that I've been taking apart and putting back together. I have 2 Waltham 16s model 1908 wristwatch movements that have been disassembled and are ready to be cleaned. I plan to case these movements and giving them to my 2 sons as family heirlooms. Thank you, Adam, for giving me the confidence to jump into the wonderful world of watch repair!
@andyyoung3233 It kind of is 😆. I'm waiting for a 4th wheel to come in. So far, I've been loving it! I'm still trying to figure out how to use this Horia jeweling tool. I mean, I know what to do, but the balance jewels on this movement I have isn't shock protected, and I can't seem to get them out to replace them since the lower jewel is broken.
No stone left unturned on this movement , a touch of ocd ain't a bad thing when the results are this good , great results & to whoever is lucky enough to win it i'm sure will be over the moon , hats off to your generosity .
Among our talents is your voice. If I were searching for a voice for an ad, I'd be approaching you. Thank you for so many enjoyable moments of watching your skills.
As a beginner watch repairer I am in awe of your skills to detect and correct watch function problems ... amazing ... and thank you for sharing your videos and knowledge.
My wife and I love watching your videos. I myself started watchmaking as a hobby a year ago. Your channel has taught me a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and journey.
Thank you so much. I’m just pleased happy that people seem to enjoy the videos. It was honestly never about gaining a bunch of subscribers, and I do not make my living off of TH-cam, but people seem to enjoy them and I enjoy making them so it’s a nice hobby!
Good for us to see the identification & rectification of these problems to know what can go wrong through wear or poor adjustment as compensation for the extra unexpected repairs you had to perform. & love that yellow watch face.
Hi Adam, excellent revival on this watch! She's a looker. 👀 I love your attention to detail when it comes to how the pivots ride in the jewels. Your OCD makes the video a fantastic learning experience! 😁
I have a 71 blue dial that I'm currently working on. After cleaning and starting the reassembly, I found that turning the screw on the ratchet wheel doesn't make the train turn, so I'm assuming I have a bad mainspring. So I think as of right now, I need to get a mainspring, new crystal, new gaskets, a new crown and stem, and a bracelet to put it. So I've gotta put a little into it, but I did get the case, dial, pushers, and what looks like a movement in mostly good shape for $75.
Vintage automatic Seiko chronograph? 40mm?! Yes, please, thank you so much 😅. Great job, and what a lovely piece. We might never see this combination of design elements from Seiko again. A true classic. 😊
Very nice work, as always, Adam! I love that we're finding these old Seikos, breathing some new life into them, and then sending them out into the world again.
My Dad used to have an omega speedmaster when I was a kid, he sold it during some difficult financial times to ensure we all got through it, though I can't afford a moonwatch, the Seiko pogue as a space watch has always been on my radar as a worthy replacement for my dad's lost speedmaster. If I win it'll go straight to my dad as thanks for all he has done for me and my mum. Lastly congrats on the 10K milestone, I can't remember exactly when I subscribed, but you've certainly been growing at an increasing speed, very much deserved. And I'm sure you'll soon be reaching 100K!
Wow! I never had so much fun watching a watch repair video. I also enjoy the pace as I really learn and remember a lot, and it makes the viewing so much more enjoyable compared to most similar channels. I will be back, soon looking forward to the next one.👍
I've been watching your videos for some time, however I never noticed I wasn't a subscriber. This is now fixed! Your no-nonsense approach and the quality of your work and filming is very much appreciated, keep it up!
Great fix on the slop in the side shake in the barrel and arbor using the 1x4 wood block! love when someone “macguyvers” a procedure! Right up my alley!
Bravo pour le succès de ta chaîne. Et très intéressant de voir la révision de cette Seiko Pogue. ❤ Congratulations for the success of your channel. And very interesting to see the review and service of this Seiko Pogue. ❤
I'm a relative newby to watch making, but find it fascinating. Its channels like this that inspired me to take on this hobby and can't get enough. This video is great by the way.
Something pretty amazing about the Pogues. As much as I love seiko doing their reissues, i think this is one of the few models I'm happy to leave in the past.
Watching this from my hospital bed, after I smashed my elbow in a cycling accident. Recently I did 4 6138B’s for a friend of mine. 3 bullheads and a Kakume. I had the service manual, but your video’s were a TREMENDOUS help with the assembly and troubleshooting 🙏❤️ thanks a 1.000.000
I'm really trying, haha! I used to over-oil, but it was pointed out to me that I needed to use a bit less, so I've been really trying to apply the proper amount of oil now. I'm glad you noticed!
Greetings. As a boy, I'd love to take watches my dad found apart. Now, as an adult, I can learn what all those parts are from watching your videos. Thank you .
This was a very interesting video. Didn't know Seiko were as complicated as they were. You are my first watch subscription, and it was very informative. Thank you.
Impressive how much detail and information you give while you service the watch. And giving this away speaks to your passion for your craft. Keep up the wonderful work. I'll keep following and watching. Thank you for educating us and letting us for your journey. ❤❤❤

Nicely done!
Beautiful work you do. They are very relaxing and interesting videos.
I got a watch like this for my 16th birthday back in 1976, wish I still had it. Wonderful job!
Great to watch thanks
I like the jewel upgrades.
I’m glad you restore seikos, they made and still make some of the finest watch.
Love a true Pogue ...Thanks for the video!
At the age of 64 I still posses every watch I have ever owned except for my "Water resist" pogue that was stolen when my car was broken into over the winter of 1978 / 1979. It was a great joy to see this one so lovingly brought back to life.
Great work! I lust over the idea of trying my hand at repair but I don’t have the nerve or patience for it. So keep the videos coming for my sake 😂

Any Seiko repair is a good day. Beautiful watch

The '60's and 70's Seiko are just beautiful. Thank you Sir!
One of my all time favorite watches.

Wow, thank you!
I love it when someone takes the time and effort to give a vintage seiko a new life.
I JUST WANT TO SAY. I LOVE WATCHES. You make it fun.
I appreciate that, thank you very much.
I understand the craze behind vintage Seiko models, my father used to say Seiko watches are the working mans Rolex, strong and reliable
Congratulations on approaching 10k subscribers! Hopefully, your numbers will continue to grow -- you deserve it!!! 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much. I’m just pleased happy that people seem to enjoy the videos. It was honestly never about gaining a bunch of subscribers, and I do not make my living off of TH-cam, but people seem to enjoy them and I enjoy making them so it’s a nice hobby!
This dial when aged is truly fire. Only gets better over the 50 years
As a fan of watches and anything space related I’m a big fan of the story behind this watch. Thank you for bringing it back to life!
Beautiful Pogue. I’d love to add it to my collection. Great video. Thanks, Adam!
Congratulations on 10K subscribers! What a great repair and giveaway to mark the milestone.
I really like the old Seikos, they are real synonymous with quality

It is extremely generous of you to give away such a beautiful watch. I hope your channel continues to grow well beyond 10,000!
Superb! Again. Humour, skill and humility… another great show.
I really like the older Seiko's, and I love your channel 👍
Vintage automatic Seiko chronograph? 40mm?! Yes, please, thank you so much 😅. Great job, and what a lovely piece. We might never see this combination of design elements from Seiko again. A true classic. 😊
Very nice work, as always, Adam! I love that we're finding these old Seikos, breathing some new life into them, and then sending them out into the world again.
Thanks Matt. I couldn't agree more.
I could watch repair all day.
Wow!! 10k! Incredible... Bravo.
Thanks.
Nothing quite like a good ol Pogue. That dial just pops.
Excellent restoration. What a beautiful watch. Not only do I want that watch, but that watch wants ME!
I’m a huge fan of space and watches so naturally I love this story
I love that vintage Pogue. That dial is timeless.
Congratulations ! Very very good job, SEIKO Pogue very nice iconic watches !
I cannot get enough of watch restoration! Great cinematography and shots.
What a beautiful restoration 😁. Thank you for the hard work my friend. 👍👍👍👍
I am actually hypnotised by that dial, you opened it up and I had to grasp my air. Love ❤️ the watch.
Stunning, honest work with integrity. A privilege. I am self-taught in range of nonsense. Thank you.
Thanks a bunch.
I think you greatly improved this watch and whoever wins it will be very happy to wear it for many years to come.
Absolutely killer work on this piece, after all the trouble, the results speak for themselves!
I appreciate all the valuable information you provide on servicing this 6139 and all other movements. Thank you sir.

I like the design of this 60's/70's mechanical watches. ❤
Greetings from France. I like you channel.
Great Watch. Always admired a Pogue and all it stands for.
Lovely
I've been watching your videos for some time, however I never noticed I wasn't a subscriber. This is now fixed!
Your no-nonsense approach and the quality of your work and filming is very much appreciated, keep it up!
This watch had a lot going on, but it was fun to watch you look for broken parts and misalignment of pieces in several places . Great Job 🤪🕰️
Mesmerising. The professional pride involved is fantastic.
Stunning watch. Stunning.
Please know that my comment was showing twice on my end, but I only commented once. Congrats to the winner!
Great fix on the slop in the side shake in the barrel and arbor using the 1x4 wood block! love when someone “macguyvers” a procedure! Right up my alley!
This watch is so iconic. Thank you for sharing these videos and giving away this grail.
I'm a huge fan of a yellow dial watch. What a great piece. I love watching your vids. Thanks for sharing.
Bravo pour le succès de ta chaîne.
Et très intéressant de voir la révision de cette Seiko Pogue. ❤
Congratulations for the success of your channel.
And very interesting to see the review and service of this Seiko Pogue. ❤
This video is exceptional for me. The way you repaired everything rather than just replace with most impressive. Thank you very much!
I love watching every single one of your Seiko Chronograph videos. You, sir, are a true inspiration to me in my watchmaking journey!
I'm a relative newby to watch making, but find it fascinating. Its channels like this that inspired me to take on this hobby and can't get enough. This video is great by the way.
Once again an excellent repair video ensuring the watch will run as it should.
Something pretty amazing about the Pogues. As much as I love seiko doing their reissues, i think this is one of the few models I'm happy to leave in the past.
A fascinating restoration of a classic design. Thank you for sharing your skilled work, truly a labour of love.
Amazing work on this wonderful piece! Glad to see one of the space watches returned to glory
This is probably the most complicated movement that I have seen. Thanks for the video
Wonderful work calling for great organizational skills. It is rather miraculous that these machines were created.
Watching this from my hospital bed, after I smashed my elbow in a cycling accident. Recently I did 4 6138B’s for a friend of mine. 3 bullheads and a Kakume. I had the service manual, but your video’s were a TREMENDOUS help with the assembly and troubleshooting 🙏❤️ thanks a 1.000.000
Thanks a bunch! I'm glad you found them helpful. I hope you have a quick recovery.
Congrats on reaching 10k subscribers Adam. A well deserved accomplishment and just the tip of the iceberg for this incredible channel. 👍👍
I also wanted to mention that I am taking the Mark Lovick courses you mentioned. Good classes.
They are. He does a great job.
New dial looks wonderful, makes the watch really pop. Fingers crossed for the prize draw!
I really admire your oiling. Absolutely spot on.
I'm really trying, haha! I used to over-oil, but it was pointed out to me that I needed to use a bit less, so I've been really trying to apply the proper amount of oil now. I'm glad you noticed!
Adam, good job as always. You earned it on this one. I am glad your channel is growing so well.
We love watching your channel. That's a beautiful Pogue watch very elegant. It's amazing how still your hands are while restoring these masterpieces
Awesome piece of work! Seiko 6139 Pogue is one of my favorite watch. Keep up the good work. 😎👍
Just a quick reminder on a parts and tools guide to give us a little head start and some confidence we are getting legit stuff on our own projects.
Greetings. As a boy, I'd love to take watches my dad found apart. Now, as an adult, I can learn what all those parts are from watching your videos. Thank you .
Great restoration! Love seeing the inner workings of a chronograph!
I thoroughly enjoy watching you work on these watches. I learn allot too! Thank you!
Loving this channel, I flick between here and Marshal's channel, and you both are the best stress-relievers I know of.
What an incredible piece. The new dial really makes it pop. But you still have the touch of the patina on the original bezel. Great job.
This was a very interesting video. Didn't know Seiko were as complicated as they were. You are my first watch subscription, and it was very informative. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for the memories. This was my first watch as a young boy. I think this was around 1975.
Impressive how much detail and information you give while you service the watch. And giving this away speaks to your passion for your craft. Keep up the wonderful work. I'll keep following and watching. Thank you for educating us and letting us for your journey. ❤❤❤
Beautiful job. My grandfather had a similar watch years ago. Nice to see it restored to its former glory.
I am amaze❤ with the hobby your into. Patient is a virtue. Keep the hands shaking ! 😅
Iam jealous of your cleaning machine, I am not far in to my watch making journey, but these videos make me push to be better each watch.
That's great, thank you.
