    Wow, just over 6 hours since the video was uploaded, and there are already way more comments than I expected! I know it's a giveaway video, so I figured there would be more activity, but 400 comments in such a short time is amazing! With this volume, I won’t be able to reply to most of them, but I want you to know I really enjoy reading each and every one. Thank you all for taking the time to leave a comment!
    Remember, the name will be drawn and the winner will be announced on Saturday, October 12th.
    Best of luck to everyone in the giveaway!

      😅 No doubt, that's a good strategy that will definitely bring in the interested masses lol..
      I've got an old Pierce Chronographe, perhaps a 40's-50s that I'm going to try to get back into functioning again sometime in the future.
      I will 1st try servicing my 21 jeweled Armitron from Walmart a decade ago.
      I had no idea of the financial investment when 1st looked into the tools required, the 'Oil' alone was a shocker!!!
      I've already gathered a few things, Microscope, sets of screwdrivers, compartment bins, along with a slew of various parts ...
      Looking forward to other tutorials, Congratulations..

      Hello! I wanted to know how much it costs to restore such watches? Repassage, glass replacement, polishing, replacement of parts, etc.? Thank you.

    • @jasbails9857
      @jasbails9857 3 месяца назад

      I love the crystal on the Seiko, but I am no expert so I don't know how common they are. Anyways, I hope this comment wins (not holding my breath) and good luck in the future.

      Your channel is very informative, I really appreciate your comments. It is very relaxing the way you explain the history and approach the challenges of watchmaking. Keep the good work and entertainment. Thanks very much.

      @PpaStrmpf 3 месяца назад +1

      That kind of finish on case coming from a "hobbyist"...I guess you've passed all exams just need the paper to be a professional. I love 70's Seiko movements. That japanese simplicity philosophy no perlage or Geneva stripes needed. And what's important, I saw not a single peace of plastic. Even the spacer is metal. Just as it should be. If those movements had a hacking option and hand winding there, would be near perfect. Green dials are my new "blue" dials. That watch is so humble but still so beautiful.

    I don’t have a watch collection yet. I have read that some collectors like to include a watch in their collection that is from their birth year. This one is just 3 years after my birth year. It would be a great start to a collection.

  • @WatchWiseUS
    @WatchWiseUS 3 месяца назад +20

    Still watching, but wanted to comment that if I do win, I know a retired gentleman who has a broken and damaged Pepsi GMT that was damaged when he was hit by a car and almost died. I would choose to have his watch restored and you can give this one to someone else!

  • @AlbertusMagnus_44
    @AlbertusMagnus_44 3 месяца назад +1

    That watch is stunning! That green dial! The faceted crystal! I had a Seiko from 1980 with that same crystal. I wore it for 30 years. I love this watch! And your restoration is amazing! I would wear this, not merely keep it in a case. Kudos! Well done! 😎

  • @umgawa12
    @umgawa12 3 месяца назад +24

    I'm older and am constantly telling younger men, "WEAR A WATCH! MEN WEAR WATCHES!" Alas, it usually falls on deaf ears, unless I can get them to watch one of your videos then magically a change happens and several have. ought watches. So proud of myself.

    • @WeekendWatchRepair
      @WeekendWatchRepair  3 месяца назад +6

      That's great to hear! Once people see the intricacies of watch mechanisms, it's easy to fall in love with them. You should be proud! I appreciated watches when I was younger, but it wasn't until I got a mechanical one that I truly understood their appeal. When it came time for a service, I researched and realized there weren't many skilled watchmakers in my area. So, I decided to learn the craft myself. After finding some RUclips videos, I was hooked! I bought every book I could find and dove deep into the knowledge, eventually starting my own repair journey. The learning never stops!

    • @f75gunslinger
      @f75gunslinger 3 месяца назад +2

      Unfortunately , most see them as unnecessary now because everyone carries a cell phone . So it's either part of their fashion to wear one , or they actually appreciate them if they're wearing one .

    Excellent videos. Me and my cat Chrono watch every video you release. As soon as he hears your voice he runs in the room. He loves getting right next to the screen as you manipulate the tiny parts. This watch is incredible and beautiful. I look forward to wearing every day. Thank you for these amazing giveaways.

    @hobby-watch-repair 3 месяца назад

    Hi Adam, I like to see your videos. My advice to you. Don't throw away the old glass. In many kinds you can buy only the glass (without the metal ring). After separating the old glass from the metal ring you can glue the new glass to the old metal ring. It is much cheaper than the original combo and you find the needed part much easier.

  • @LonghornforLife03
    @LonghornforLife03 3 месяца назад +1

    This is my favorite watch you’ve done to date! You are correct- whoever wins will have the toughest decision to make! I am in love with the dial and the crystal and the band! If I won, I don’t know what I would do!! I just don’t think I could pass up this watch, however my husband has his father’s watch that he’s been wanting serviced for a while now. I can’t wait until the 12th!!!

    Having a watch serviced by you and seeing the whole process on RUclips is really nice, but come on, who could reject the chance to own this beautiful vintage Seiko? The crystal is truly something special! I’m not sure I would have chosen one of these in the store, but seeing it now, it’s clear how gorgeous it really is. Here’s hoping to win this one!
