It’s a beauty
Would you be so kind to list the part numbers & or sources for the crystal & gaskets?
Seiko doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Innovative design, accuracy, reliability and Collectibility. Some of the most beautiful watch faces I’ve seen.
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.
How VERY TRUE!!!.
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!
Wow that dial is insane! Can't believe it's lasted so well, they don't make them like that anymore.
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.
The one thing Seiko does that has always impressed me is their dials. This one doesn't disappoint!
Even though my SARB017 is green it has the same radiance. Love my watch
You can never go wrong with a Seiko! Love the color combination with the blue dial and orange seconds hand
I couldn't agree more, on both points!
Seiko has used that deep blue dual color on several models - it is the most incredible blue I have ever seen on watch!
I agree, they really did a good job with it.
There's something about Seikos from this era that is just amazing, Great work with the restoration.
Another incredible journey, and a spectacular result. That watch is stunning. I have now fallen in love with this watch model.
This is quite an interesting vintage piece... thanks for restoring it back to life. Amazing work.
At one time I watch these videos with great interest, at other dates when laying in my bed I fall asleep. Nice soothing voice to relax and check out. Downside is you're start dreaming like you're in a Salvador Dali painting.😊😊😊😊
Haha!
A Seiko chrono is something that only exists in my wettest dreams. I simply love them
You can’t go wrong with a Seiko like that. That dial is truly gorgeous. Here’s hoping for the best and a happy holiday to you.
I missed it 😢. I was too caught up in watching my team's season come to a screeching halt. It's a beauty to some lucky person. Congratulations to whomever you are!!
Next time!
I always love vintage watches. I am entertained see how they are assembled and work. I love watching your channel.
Thank you very much.
I'm not sure how I fell down a watch repair rabbit hole but this channel popped up a week ago for me and I've been enjoying it.
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!
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!! Love the blue face. Great job on that refurb!
Thank you very much!
Once again a great video. The time and effort you give to each of your videos, and the information you provide in them is greatly appreciated. The winner of this watch is going to be a very happy person.
Always nice to see the complete breakdown and rebuild of vintage watches and giving them the tlc they deserve.
Love your video's Adam, keep up the good work! 👍
Seiko dials are really in a class of their own. I was surprised how little repair was needed, if only Seiko QC was as good these days as they used to be.
This movement is amazing and the blue sets it off. I love watching your videos, got my son and I tinkering with watches. Thank you
That is fantastic!
I've been watching watchmaking videos for a few months now, and my wife went and got me a watchmaking kit for Xmas. Down the rabbit hole I go!
That is awesome!
Wow, what a complicated watch. Amazing how you keep all the parts organized.
I'm 73 going on 74, and I'd like to (= feel EXTREMELY honoured to) own this watch so that I can use it myself, and one day present it to , or leave it in my will to my youngest grandson, who is now 15 months old.
Thank you. Best of luck in the giveaway.
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.
That dial is incredible. Great work
Thank you for choosing this watch to give away. Hopefully it will get a second long life on the wrist of its new owner!
I really like just relaxing and hanging out with your videos. Congrats on the milestone, and many more!
The legendary Seiko 6139 chronograph movement is certainly one for the watch history books! Would love to own this piece of history!
That dial is incredible! Can't believe you found such a gem. 😲 Anyway, wonderful work with this restoration, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for the giveaway! 😁🤞
Such a lovely example of a wonderful chronograph. Congratulations!
Thank you very much!
Love the vintage look of that Seiko. Bruce Lee chose to wear this style watch makes it even cooler 😊
I recently began learning more about these Seiko chronographs and think they are phenomenal value for a vintage chronograph.
I'm just starting to learn about watches. I love videos like these because I get to learn and see the craftsmanship without destroying anything.
I watch you during my brakes I drive a truck and enjoy the way you explain yourself while braking down the watches.😊
I prefer the vintage seikos over the new ones they just have more character
Remember from childhood i opened bunch of watches, always been facinated how it's working. Unfortunatelly never learned to put it back together. Now it's just sattisfing to attend on same process, at least virtually. Great vintage piece.
The blue dial on this watch is amazing. I am fascinated with watching these videos. I am looking forward to the day when I can start working on watches.
Incredible to see the ease and knowledge you have with this movement! Wonderfully informative!
Congrats on making it to 5k subscribers! Your content is super relaxing and engaging! Anyone who gets the watch is super lucky!
After watching a ton of repair videos, I found a channel that predominantly works on my favorite movements I love seikos
That dial is amazing. No question. That is a deep, oceanic cobalt pearl and it is pristine.
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.
I am always amazed at the level of skill and dedication of youtubers of the watch making community
Great watch, love the history of this piece. Thanks Adam for the great video.
That dial is a real beauty. Thank you for making these videos that are both educational and relaxing at the same time.
I’ve always loved Seiko, there’s something about the cost to quality ratio that keeps me coming back!
I love the look of the classic Seikos. They just look right.
Awesome Seiko. I always wanted a Bruce Lee. They are super cool 🔥🔥🔥
I agree, they really are.
You did a great job turning this watch around Adam.........
Thank you Matthew.
More than 7500 subscribers to celebrate reaching 5000 subscribers! Nice! This Restoration is gorgeous, bravo!
That is a spectacular dial. Seikos of this era are special.
Seiko is certainly right there at the top in precision and appearance.
absolutely stunning dial...........Seiko is the brand for me!
Mine too! I have others, but I'll always be a Seiko fan (especially vintage pieces) first and foremost.
Great job. You must get all the best 6139’s. Most don’t run this well on a rebuild.
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.
Among the Seiko chronos this may be my favorite, even over the Pouge. Plus it's practically my birth year.
I'm glad i found your channel. Excellent quality video, voiceover and technical explanations! Thank you so much.
The blue dial is one of my favorite of the old Seiko dials. Thanks for working on these old Seikos - I'm working on a number of these for my collection! Thanks
Congrats on your 5,000 subscribers! Thank You for your generosity with the giveaway.
Beautiful watch and your thorough description keeps me coming back for every video!! Keep it up! The seiko chrono addiction is growing!!
Thank you. The Seiko chrono addiction only gets worse over time!
Seeing your work and listening to your dialog is always a welcome treat. Thank you for keeping these historic pieces alive.
My favorite watch cases are from the 70's. Beautiful.
To win this watch would be a dream come true,but I’m contented just to watch these beautiful videos.👍👍👍
Came to watcht the Bruce Lee of watch repair 😊
Haha, I wish!
Absolutely love the tear down and history in this video. I've been working on my own 6139a and you make this look so simple. Thanks you for posting the videos and happy new year's.
OSA Member! Like the history lesson, I suppose I could have searched but hasn't been a priority to do so. Love the watch, thanks for posting.
Thanks a bunch.
I've had 3 watches with these movements. The Bruce Lee is one of the variants I've not restored yet. This is in excellent shape.
Been appreciating Seiko more and more. It's a beautiful chronograph. Love the extreme closups and the quality of your videos. Great channel. Thanks Adam!
I've got my uncle's seiko sportsmatic, he wore it in Vietnam. I had it serviced for the first time in 2016... These watches are true workhorses.
That the immaculate dial surface contrasts the obviously aged lume and case perfectly for a vintage restoration
I can watch these video's for hours, beautiful timepiece!
Always cool to see how nice everything is when the glass comes off.
This blue dial Seiko is absolutely stunning! Well done!!
Awesome job on the redo! Love the channel.
First time watching and really enjoyed it. Thanks for showing off your skills!
I really appreciate that. Thank you.
As someone just getting into watch repair, these videos are absolute gold. Thanks for the great content.
Hi there. That SubMariner Rolex from the passed away grandfather. Was incredible. I’ve even passed it on the my boss.
I love modern Seiko, but you cannot beat anything better than a vintage Seiko. I wear my 73 Turtle more often than my modern Prospex.
This may be my favorite Seiko dial of all time now.
Congratz on the 6k+ subs! It is a very nice looking movement, glad you brought it back to life.
Glad you kept it original. These vintage Seikos are amazing!
Beautiful watch. Congratulations on 6k and happy new year!
I’m becoming more aware of and loving the Seiko brand’s watches! That blue dial is radiant!
Beautiful dial! Awesome video
Love the video! Incredible work as always
Absolutely love your channel - was surprised to see how few subscribers you had when I started watching your videos as they’re so well produced and your knowledge is incredible! Keep up the good work, I believe you’ll be at 10k in no time 😊
Seiko should make a reissue of this beautiful piece!
What a beauty! Just love vintage Seiko’s! You did another very fine job. 👍🏻
Great vid. Beauteous dial! Keep at it!
These videos are very enjoyable, great work! So cool to see the growth of the channel, keep it going!
I love vintage seiko cronos. This one was incredible inside. Thank you for sharing your vast talent and knowledge.
This is fun to watch!! Thanks Adam!!!
What a great restoration work! A big fan of Seiko here and a fan of your work from Argentina!! 🇦🇷
Pogues are my favorite vintage chronographs. I've never seen a blue one.
Incredible watch and solid work on it. Keep it up!
Absolutely stunning dial,amazing work done to another stunning Seiko
Many thanks.
