I like the bracelet of the seiko...also the timex looks nice!
good luck with your channel!
Thank you 👌I appreciate it
Out of the 3 watches in your video, you have better odds with the Seiko 5. I suggest you have it regulated by a good watchmaker and if you really want it to be accurate you can buy an aftermarket Seiko NH36 movement which is the same movement that comes stock with the watch but it has hacking and handwinding and have it installed by a watchmaker. I shall warn you though that replacing the movement will depreciate the watch's value but I don't think that bothers you seeing as how you've already replaced the watch's stock folded link bracelet with a solid jubilee style bracelet
@@emanuelrayvillaflores7759 I appreciate the info👍 I’ll look into replacing the movement cause I do like wearing that particular seiko 5. And yeah I don’t really care about depreciation I just like wearing watches.
I had an old Seiko 5 (7S36 02J0) that I bought back in 2011. Its two tone case was badly worn and the matching strap broke and it was gaining 5 minutes per day. I just reused the beautiful silver and gold dial and put it in a new NH36 movement and case. I now have a nice watch that will last for years without worrying about old gaskets.
@@imaginekarma8582 how much did it cost to replace the movement for you?
@@JustChillin4now it cost about $50 Canadian for the movement ($40 USD) and another 30 dollars Canadian for the optional lumed day/date wheels. It takes a small bit of skill to swap the wheels as you need to remove a clip and four screws, but there’s tutorials everywhere that really helps. Again though, that’s optional. Just make sure to check the crown position on the movement you’re buying. This Seiko needs a 3.8 o’clock crown movement and you’ll need a few more tools to carefully pull the hands, and installing the hands. Again, there’s tutorials for that.
