Lovely very in-depth video Richard , amazing just how much of a transformation the watch receives by your dilligent work , it’s now a piece that any one would be proud to wear , and Seiko with such a heritage in their movements , thank you it was very entertaining ,,,,, light out now 😴
That whole disassembly and re-assembly was a masterpiece of watch restoration. So pleasing!
Thanks Wendi! Good to hear from you! Richard
I doubt if I'm as much of a watch person as most viewers but I can easily appreciate craftsmen/artist and this is fascinating to observe.
Hi TN valley Yoga! I am so pleased that you enjoyed this video. Even if you are not especially interested in watches I figures that is a certain relaxation and fascination to be gained and I hope to provide much more of the same so please stayed tuned. Thanks again. Richard
A magnificent result. I was tempted to fast forward toward the end, but I'm glad to have seen the whole process from start to finish.
Thanks for this video, saw someone selling a Seahorse with cracked crystal for a low price and I was thinking about trying to change the crystal myself, but thanks to your video I now know that's a lot more hassle than what is worth dealing with for me
"Oops" ... something you don't want to hear from your surgeon or your watchmaker! ;-). I'm always amazed at the patience it takes to do this kind of work.
Haha! The clumsy watchmaker is a pretty short lived thing I figure ... 'slow and careful is good'! Richard
Just inherited one!
It’s running better than my Seiko SARB035, purchased in 2016!
Greetings from Norway!!! I'm very glad I found this channel. I've learned a lot and looking forward to learning a whole lot more. Keep up the good work!!!
Love Norway!!! I long time ago I spent some time in Norway. Mostly in the mountains in winter learning to ski a very long way carrying a lot of kit on my back. You are very welcome sir and I am looking forward to making lots more videos, God willing, for you to enjoy. Richard
@@richardperrettwatchmaker Oh...I'm sure I'm going to enjoy your video very much. Thanks again for taking the time making them!! ...and winter here in Norway can be cold and miserable, but the nature here is second to none. There's a lot of adventure to be had here...both in winter and summer. With the right watch on the wrist of course.
I love your channel sir,I don't see how you don't have more subscribers, your channel is very informative and educational, I will try to tell every one I know of your channel l
Hi Jason ... Thank you so much for this kind feedback and sorry for the delay in my responding, I have been 'on the move' in a major way!. Please do spread the word and thank you for doing so! Richard
Thank you for sharing this great video!! This watch is gorgeous! The balance wheel seems a bit wobbling in the video, but maybe that was because it was missing the anti-shock jewel. Again a stunning restoration!
I watched both episodes back to back as a full-length feature, and my attention didn't wander at all. Excellent videos, Mr Perrett, thank you. Obviously it's going to be a videographer's nightmare, but footage of coaxing the jewel retaining clips out and back in again would be exceedingly helpful if you can find a way to do it.
Hi GenWivern2! That is so good to hear! I am investing soon in some new camera equipment so I can shoot closer in and with improved focus and quality. When I have mastered using it I will do a video which includes the removal and reinstallation of the cap stones and clips. So please you like these videos. Richard
Brilliant and very informative. With reference to my last comment on the previous video in retrospect i think i might have used a little too much 3in1 on my smiths pocket watch. Haha.
Great Vid Thank You.
HI Darren! Thank you sir! Funnily enough I had a question from a chap asking if a quick squirt of WD40 in the back of the movement would so it any harm so the thought has passed other folks minds! I figure it is was good he asked the question and good that you can see the funny side because it is pretty funny! Thanks again ... Richard
Outstanding!
Thanks, was fun
Hi HoWilbur! Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed it. Richard
Please make a video of you disassembling an older Grand Seiko with 36000 bph, I'm thinking of buying one and would love to see one stripped down in all its Glory. Thank you sir for making your videos.
Haha! Definitely more Grand Seiko on the way Jason.... I love Grand Seiko so so much! Grand Seiko is maybe 'The Thinking Man's Rolex' .... I love both but Grand Seiko is maybe more attractive to the owner who really understands what he or she is wearing.
There's one on eBay about 250. Funny cos when I was looking at an Invicta you'd done a review of it. Then I was looking at the bulova sea king and you'd done a review of that. Now I'm looking at this stunning seiko and here we are. Pretty cool. One question. What do you think of Orient watches. I'm looking at the new divers with sapphire. Thanks your vids are great
You deserve alot more subs....very interesting
Hi Nosey Person! .... Haha! Thank you for saying so .... I am just videoing what I love doing and I also like making the videos so it's all good! Hopefully that will shine through and the interest in the channel will grow. Thanks again. Richard
A bit late to the party... but congrats for the video and the service. I also video all my services (but I do not upload them all to youtube... have to restart thtoug) as a customer service. Some like it, some just do not care. Yet I do have a question regarding the liquid you used to clean the balance wheel and the incabloc jewels: What liquid are you using, and most interestingly, are you recycling it (i.e. filtering it to reuse it a number of times, due to the high cost)?
Hi George, Bergeon one dip ... I really should start reusing it as it is hardly touched in one service and remains extremely effective. I actually don't atm and am going to more out of pocket than I otherwise would be. Decant into a smaller glass jar (has to be glass, do not put this stuff near plastic as it eats right through it quickly) and then dunk until renewing from main jar look prudent I think would be good modus operandi. Hope this helps. Richard
@@richardperrettwatchmaker thanks Richard, very informative. Is tthere a proper alternative to the Bergeon branded product (which comes witha premium just because of the brand name...) I used a similar product (Anchor hair spring solution) but I amt really happy with the results, and the 20ml plastic flask quickly let the vapors out...
Really good informative video. Just a quick question the little washer on the third wheel pinged across the room when i was doing mine. Would be able to get a replacement or is it a lost cause
Hey Richard, I was just wondering if you put a new O-ring on yours, since I think I saw one in the disassembly video. Mine is missing it completely and I wanted to double check before trying to put a new one
Hi Rumen ... good to hear from you! Yes I am sure the case back has a gasket, not to do so would be inviting a lot unnecessary trouble (fogged glass and the like!). Just measure the recess and buy one that is 0.2mm oversize in the vertical plane. Then when you torque it down it will be water tight. Hope this helps. Richard
Thank you so much for the video , excellent , can anyone advise on how to remove/repair marks made to the dial as mine is damaged , it is stainless or alu and so it painted silver ?
Watched a lot of your videos but I own one of these. Belonged to my great uncle, along with a Garrard's gold piece which I wore until the crown twisted off (manual wind).
The piece I have keeps time, but it quite a bit fast and the face has seen better days but I'd like to address that time keeping if nothing else what would be his take from a servicing perspective?
Hi .... you could try getting just a regulation but if the power rain is gummed up a bit then this is good money after bad. A full service would sort it but it would cost about £120 - £160. Hope this is helpful. Richard
@@richardperrettwatchmaker Thanks Richard. It's a shame really, but a lot of these movements were never really made to be serviced outside of their working lifetime I suppose. Shame though as I do love the size, character and simplicity.
Nice job. More words on lubricant choices, how it gets applied (eg. to diashock stones) & how much to apply would be good.
Hi Richard, I have a vintage seiko quartz I bought in the 70's . I believe it has a 7546 842L (?) movement. Is the watch worth anything to a collector or does it just have historic value?
Thanks in advance .
Kevin
Unfortunately (or fortunately!) 70s quartz isn't very hot with collectors currently, even though the 7546 in particular is a very well-constructed metal jeweled movement.

Thanks Sam, I actually ended up donating the watch ( aswell as another Seiko) to Richard as it was exactly the same one as he restored in his RUclips. video. I’m not sure if he received it as I haven’t had a response from him
Does the Moebius 8200 work as a braking grease for barrels in automatic watches?
Nope! i think automatic should use 8213
do you sell them after you refurbish them
Enjoyed the video,thanks! hav a question,may be a dumb one but I’m gonna ask anyway,,would it hurt to spray a movement with WD 40 or some other silicone spray? Thanks
Yes. It would hurt. A lot. The first of many bad things is that the hairspring would become soaked in oil, with capillary action holding oil between the turns, effectively making it much shorter and then, if it runs at all, it will run very, very fast. Then the dial and lume will probably be ruined. And then note that a mechanical watch needs different lubricants in different places, like a car. Some parts should be greased, some parts need a very light oil. Watch lubricants run from expensive to very expensive - they are very specialised and need to function 24x7 for at least 5 years without drying up, etc.
SeaHorse ! What are the complications of the watch ,jewels years made ? Ahh ! 17 jewels 👍⏰what is the purpose of the blue light ? Ahh! Made in 1965 👍⏰
Awesome videos! I do have to say though, if it were my watch I would have to get that beat error down to 0.0 MS. It can easily be done with a little mire time. It being at .5 MS would drive me crazy!
You lost volume at minute 28. Hard to hear what you were saying
I quit when u said “ work it out for yourself”. The whole point of watching is to learn how you do it.
話が長すぎ
