    I have the very same watch which was given to me as a present for my 21st birthday by my father. That was in 1974. I wore it for twenty consecutive years until I dismissed it and forgot it in a drawer for almost 30 years until I found it back last year. It was still running just fine but as the pushers got stuck I decided to let it have a well deserved (and needed) service by a trusted watchmaker. Bracelet and case however were left untouched, as I believe a 50 years old watch with a shining case and a rattling bracelet as well as a à worn out dial and hands doesn’t really make much sense. (Not to mention the mismatched chronograph hands your watch shows) you obviously did a very skilful job by restoring this worn out watch but, as you may be well aware of, this is a highly debated topic among the vintage watches collectors world. Just my two cents.
    Anyway, regards and my congrats again on the great job.

    Hi, Great restoration the best I have seen for that model. If it were my watch I would replace the minute counter hand for the correct Seiko part. It will be perfect doing so. Regards!

    Really nice work.
    I like this model sooooo much but they are ridiculous €€€ for a good one.
    I bought a very very good case and crystal a long time ago. It came with the wrong caseback though .
    My aim was to buy the movement, dial etc bit by bit to build one up then COVID happened so my priorities changed.
    I still have the case so who knows. Maybe I'll get mine one day 😁

      Yes, the bracelet is not in a great condition, the customer wants to replace it anyway with a brown leather strap.

    Iam a seiko fan at the moment wearing a baby alpanist with a 6 r 35 movement it needs new lubrication first two years if i wear it daiy i never have to wind it and for two years with swimming it runs at 3 sec + a day this summer i went swimming and sit in the warm sun the whole day and after this it runs about minus 20 sec a day and the power reserve is less do you think it need service cleaning lubrication or is this normal after two years of wearing?
