    Seiko doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Innovative design, accuracy, reliability and Collectibility. Some of the most beautiful watch faces I’ve seen.

    • @ctdavis3277
      @ctdavis3277 Před 5 měsíci

      Seiko manages to be both good and cheap, but they do so many different things to cover as many segments of the market as possible so sometimes they open themselves up for criticism when they economize to target low cost markets. Still there are plenty of good reasons to respect Seiko.

      I believe my first real watch was a Seiko,8829-8000, more less ,I'm on a hunt to discover the model based on the year I was wearing it, this is a fun hobby...however, the vox populi makes it clear it's not in par with say rolex. even when wearing a legit rolex someone may ask: it a real one ¿...seen this a number of times, human nature?..anyway, I'm gonna wear a metal case Seiko cause of old time sake and of course it will be serviced...thanks for the post!

    @SergioPena20 Před 5 měsíci

    I remember my grandpa used to always brag about the seiko watch he brought back from WW2. If only I could find it. It was really special to him. It sucks that it was lost after he left.

    Now that all of my kids, and Grandkids are financially independent, at 73 years old I'm able to enjoy the world of watches, especially the intricate process of repair. I've even started an inexpensive collection of vintage Timex, Invicta, Boktoc, and Gruens. It's fun! Your channel is fantastic with a morning cup of coffee ☕. Used Seiko's are still above my retirement budget. I have to say that your Bruce Lee giveaway has me on the edge of my seat. Far-out!

    Insanely well preserved 6139! I was under the impression that Bruce Lee only wore a Universal Geneve Polerouter - Cool to know he wore Seiko as well.

    There was many years of cell phone/ smart phone popularity before I was gifted one. I always said that I don't know anyone I like so much I'd carry a phone around to talk with. My opinion hasn't changed much. My phone provides atomic clock accurate time and I don't wear a watch any more. I'm not sure how I stumbled on to your watch repair channels. I've spent hours watching you work. I have a greater appreciation for the watches I wished I could afford when I was a young adult. Thank you for your work.

    Great job. You must get all the best 6139’s. Most don’t run this well on a rebuild.

    • @WeekendWatchRepair
      @WeekendWatchRepair  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thank you. This one was in exceptionally good condition to begin with. Not all of them are like that though, including some others on the channel. I've done enough of them at this point that I can generally get them to run pretty well, but it may require much more work than this one needed. They are robust movements that can usually be brought back from pretty poor conditions if done correctly.
