    Hi there 👋 I've recently got sibling of this watch 6602-9982 in great condition. My question is, that how many turns of the crown are safe while winding, because this is my first manual wind too, therefore, I don't have any knowledge

    • @hubcityvintage
      @hubcityvintage 7 месяцев назад

      Hi @yousafsabir7 , you would be safe to wind the crown until it reaches its natural stopping point. In manual wind watches, the mainspring doesn't slip inside of the barrel like it would in a self winding watch, and you will feel resistance in the crown as you reach the full load of the spring.

    • @MagicMikesWatches
      @MagicMikesWatches 7 месяцев назад

      You need to look at the first two numbers in the serial number. First serial tells you the year, second tells you production month. 20XXX tells you October of 1982. You need to know the decade(s) of production for that model. Hope this helps.

    • @hubcityvintage
      @hubcityvintage 7 месяцев назад

      Hey @jeromef2001 great information from @MagicMikesWatches. It certainly helps to have a working knowledge of the approximate decades in which the movements were produced. Also, in 1981 Seiko began moving production of the 6309 to Hong Kong, and as a result, the Suwa "S" logo doesn't appear on examples produced after 1981. This is just an easy way to gauge at a glance when a "Turtle" was produced.

    Hi Seth, while reading some forums I learned that there are actually two versions of the 330W18GN crystal. An earlier version 69'-72' which is slightly domed, and a flat top version 72'-79'. I was curious if you could weigh the pros and cons of each, which you like more, and confirm whether or not this information is true or not. Also, why would Seiko switch from double domed to flat top? Thanks!!

    • @hubcityvintage
      @hubcityvintage 11 месяцев назад

      Great question. I wouldn't worry too much. While there isn't a lot of concrete evidence stating exactly what compounds Seiko was using at the time, it seems that throughout the late 60s, 70s, and into the 80s, they were using mostly doped zinc sulfide mixtures. Doping with copper (and later other rare earth metals) wouldn't pose any radioactive risk to you. I think there are a few vintage Seiko models that have been confirmed as having been doped with tritium, but even then, we're talking 68', 69', and tritium has a half life of only about 13 years. By now, the exposure would be negligible, especially sealed inside of the case. Seiko was one of the first companies to completely abandon radioactive luminous. In the late 80s, they did some experimenting with promethium, which only has a half life of about 3 years, and even then it was only for select diver models. They later developed Luminova, which I believe is a strontium aluminate doped with europium, and some other rare earth metals, and they continue to develop new mixtures based on these compounds even today. Hope this puts your mind at ease. Let us know if you need your grandad's watch serviced at service@hubcityvintage.com!

    For many years collectors, experts and other watch aficionados thought that the Seiko 6139-6000 series Silver dial (also known as the Silver Pogue) did not exist. I am sure when people at that time claimed to own one or claimed they saw one, they were not believed or told their watch was a fake. As it turns out, they did exist and as I understand it are even more rare than the actual Pogue 6139-6005 model. Could this be an example of the "Black Swan Fallacy"? Not sure...in any event, never let some self proclaimed expert tell you your watch is a fake. Do your own research. Even real experts make mistakes as well.
