The notch is because the 6000 has a 6139A movt as opposed to the 6139B of later models . The A and B movts are different thicknesses . A 6139B doesn't fit in a notched case

Please don't molest that watch Lester. Jk jk, just couldn't help myself.

I have a Bulova Accutron watch 1960s don't know what to do with it.

Thank you! Now I know how it works

Please reach out should you ever consider….1530;)

Very few George Graham watches are in their original cases, this one has been re-cased in the second half of the 18th century. The was probably in a solid gold case originally. Still it’s been nicely done

Its the Same shit closing Like the Joseph Bonnie Bonklip. Only Forstner Bonklip has a Secure closing

Wow

I never was keen to plain 1963 dial and the other designs didnt appeal to me. But this one, its most lovely from them all.

Beautiful linen dial, why isn't it running?

Thank you for a detailed look at what seems to be a terrible design.

why are people taking a special interest in these watches? I am trying to understand because there is one on auction i found. the numbers have fallen loose off the dial, but that looks like it could be fixed easily. I am not sure that your statement about the limited number of these watches is totally true, or maybe it is from sea-gull, but my understanding ."is there are many companies designing this watch. inclluding both "seagull" and "sea-gull" Very confusing. I think people have decided the asthetic is nice and the movement is ok especially for the price. I know i will buy it on auction and find out no watch repair guy will dare meath with it, and i will be stuck trying to figure out how to open it up without scratching it. anyway, why has this watch garnered some interest, is there something special about it? is it worth grabbing one on the cheap, if it needs a little work?

I HAVE A WATCH MADE IN PARIS C, 1700 WORKS FOR 6 MINS, THEN STOPS. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOUR WATCHMAKER HAVE A LOOK AT IT, ITS MOST LIKELY A BENT PIVOT. I DO SO ENJOY VIDIOS LIKE YOURS . THANK`S. ARTHUR .

I have two identical Bonnie Bonklips, and the clasp can indeed release if lifted to a perpendicular angle. However, I only learned of this after a year of worry-free use through other user's reports. It can only happen if you are wearing your watch pimp-style dangling, and I never experienced the band open accidentally.

Could you share the contanct of your watchmaker?

Never seen a black ring around the subdial

I am generally a big fan of vintage watches, I own approx 40. But honestly, where is a reason why those Bonklips aren’t popular anymore.

oh ...finally

is the other way around :))

Thanks for the video. I just bought a Clewco Bonklip bracelet on Ebay for £10 to fit to one of my trench watches.

Thank you for posting. I have an old Krementz Self-Adjustable Watch Band from the USA from my father from the 1950's and a new Fostner Klip. Both are shorter as they each only fold back once with a single klip. The Forstner has two spring locks on each side of the klip for extra security. But even the Krementz with its simple klip over the link remained secure even after falling numerous times while trying to learn to water ski.

That 1530 is something special.

Sir phone number, and price please,

You speak Russian very nice and very good speak in English😁 - are you Russian ? 😁

I have one of these, given to me by the late Carl Duerr, one time CEO at Angelus, in 1968. Sadly it is completely rusted inside and needs a complete remake. Any link to someone who could take this on?

I really like this watch and i want to buy it.so please tell me how much is this watch ?

This is very different to a Bonclip

A very interesting review, I noticed the bezel and surround is flat compared with the more modern versions where it seems recessed ? from outside to the watch face. I bought my Navitimer in 1966, similar in design to yours but with silver sub dials, the two aircraft logo design and only the 12 marked on the dial the remaining just marked with a bar. This watch has been my only watch and I have worn it is some totally unsuitable working situations without any issues, it has been serviced as and when required. I did not purchase it with an eye on future value but I feel I have had my value for the £30 I paid for it.

I've just bought that exact up/down. $100+. BARGAIN. "Probably just needs a battery"...yeah, like I just need Lucky 13 on roulette. We'll see...I'll risk it.

Hamilton won the race against the Heuer! If you're going to include 3 watches you have to include the Fontainebleau!

Lovely review mate I have this one coming today!

Ha, you are the second person to stop the second hand, and you stopped in almost the same spot as a previous video on this watch. Why?. Would like to see if this gets sluggish heading towards the 12 mark as the knock-offs I heard and have seen become sluggish around the 40-45 second mark.

Hello, great review! BTW, what is the original waterproof of the watch?

Lj is how a specific Russian Cyrilic letter is represented using our alphabet. It is considered the same as a single letter in Croatian and Serbian. It is not a transcription error. It makes the sound you say, though.

wow!

Big gap between the strap and the body, canine lugs ...ugly

You get a double bonklip😉

They seem to be holding in price well, I just purchased one on the "secondary market".

…While these ‘Engine room’ brands were pushing the state of the art in auto chrono watchmaking, Omega put their trusty old windup Speedmaster onto the moon, and Rolex didn’t even know what to calll their chrono, and what to do with it, until they got a lucky break in auto racing and timely (pardon the pun) Hollywood endorsement.

That 1530 you have is immaculate. Absolutely mint. I wonder why Rolex didn't differentiate the size of the 1530 and 1630. Both have the oystrrquartz case in 36mm. So would the only thing setting them apart be the movement inside?

I've noticed cheap mechanical watch movements, if they don't die, tend to improve with age. I wonder what's the rate on your watch today. Good video. Thanks.

That's a big watch for a little braclet lol. Put it on a time period accurate watch like an a11 or a17 and see how secure it feels.

sea-gull 1962 or 63 ?

I have a 1530 whats a ball park figure for its value?

It was nice to hear the backstory to the purchase of this watch. I’d like to think it’s genuine. Thank you for sharing.

Mine runs around +30 sec fast/day. No complaints tho. Still ok for a cheap mechanical watch.

Love the vintage inspired design. I believe that the blue are painted, hence they are not thermally blued. I would prefer to have a see-through-caseback, but in this case solid caseback is also nicely done. The acrylic crystal is also vintage cool, but it will easily scratch :(.

Nice review! There is so much to know before buying, thanks! By the way the Shurmanskie means Navigation 🧭 aid, not assault forces, just similar words in Russian. Also, @cuteleatherworks make great watch leather straps, customizable, you can choose a leather type, thread colour, and edge dye colour as well. The other model the Sturmanskie is also a good time piece!

Great channel and content! There was a fair bit of watch sharing going on in the 70s due to the quartz crisis... I've certainly not seen one of these, never mind two of them! Really cool find(s)!!

I’d never heard of Merkur before, but that seems astonishingly cheap for a mechanical watch. And a signed crown too! The accuracy is fine for me, particularly for the cost of the watch. It will be interesting to see how it’s running six months from now.
