- This video follows the restoration and repair of a King Seiko 5626-7041 automatic officially certified chronometer from May 1974. In common with most 56-series Seikos from this era, the day-date quickset function was inoperable due to a broken day-date corrector rocker wheel lever. The video (and in particular, accompanying blog article) details the repair and subsequent testing of the repaired part.
For more detailed commentary on the process, please see the post on the blog linked here:

That date change at midnight was *chef’s kiss*
Thanks for running us through the issue of this movement series' day/date issue. I love what Seiko did with blue dials: This is a great example.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Such a great video! Martin your work is always of the highest quality and photography sublime!
Thank you Richard! You are very kind.
Excellent, please do more.
Lovely watch! I very much enjoy your videos
Thank you.
Thanks for this video on a beautiful watch. It good to see the metal quick set in action. I've got two 7040s with the 5625 movement, one with the quickset working and the other in need of repair. I love the handset on these watches and yours is that bit more special with the blue dial. Cool video. Please do more on dissembly and reassembly of the movement.
Great video, Martin! I think more videos like this would perfectly complement the more "in-depth" perspective from your blog posts.
Yes, I think this might be a sustainable format. Quite easy to make and it doesn't interfere too much with the process.
Quality watch content here. Found your YT channel via your blog.
Thank you!
My KS is also from 1974 so it’s cool to see another from that year. Fortunately I have the non-day/date so I won’t have to worry about that part breaking. Just wish I had that stock KS bracelet as it’s so cool.
Fantastic work and beautiful watch. My birth year and month so no surprise here 😉
Thank you!
Great Video! Love your blog as well! Would a video on servicing the Seiko 56XX movement be a possibility in the future? Thanks for the quality content you produce!
I'm not sure I have the patience to do full service videos again - just too much work and it spoils the fun of the actual watch work but you never know. I end up doing whatever feels right at the time.
I've restored several KS and 56stream all the way!
Hi, I have a 1971 King Seiko Cap Gold 5625-7110 Hi-beat with a cracked plastic quickset date wheel, do you know if there is a replacement I can buy because I can't find one anywhere. Cheers
You can sometimes find complete used replacement levers on Yahoo Japan, but these are thin on the ground and expensive. In the accompanying article on the blog, I describe the repair of the lever using replacement star wheels sourced from Vintage Time Australia.
Tôi muốn mua của bạn thì làm sao để liên lạc...???🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
what is the water resistance of these 5626 King Seikos?
great video. where did you source the new star wheel?
From Vintage Time Australia
Did you polish the crystal or get a new one? I have a 56KS with some crystal scratches
I replaced the glass. There is a brief reference to the process in the video at about 4:20 but you can read about it in more detail in the accompanying blog post which is linked in the description.
@@amateurwatchfettler thanks a lot late! I’ll check it out
@@amateurwatchfettler just read some of your KS articles. You’re a great writer
Replacing the crystal on these seems way too much a hassle. I think I’m going to try various grits of sandpaper and buff out scratches that way
@@nintendokings Thank you.
