I really appreciate it. Thank you.

That’s fantastic, I’m so glad you found it helpful.

Fellow OSA'er! That's awesome, thank you!!!

Thanks, will do!

I appreciate the feedback. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words. I'm working on the next video right now and should have it ready to upload very shortly.

Thanks Ross. Will do.

Glad you liked it!

Thank you so much. That means a lot to me!

Thanks 👍

Good point, haha. Thanks.

Glad you like them!

I really appreciate it. Thanks a bunch Keith.

Thank you Neil.

Thanks so much. I'm really glad you enjoy it.

Awesome, thank you!

I'm so glad!

Thank you very much. I do appreciate it.

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.

Thanks Nick. That was exactly my thought process in making these videos. I am only a hobbyist myself, and initially struggled to find good data on certain aspects of servicing a watch. I know what was challenging for me, and try to think about those things when I'm filming to hopefully help someone else out. I really appreciate your feedback and thanks for watching.

Thanks Jason.

Thank you John.

Believe me, I completely understand.

Thanks Mike!

Thank you Jared. Commentary it is then! When I first decided to start making videos I wanted to focus on more of the technical details with the tear down and rebuild. My thought was that I'd like to make a video that would be helpful for others like me who enjoy this hobby. If I've never worked on a particular movement previously, I try my best to do some research beforehand, and have appreciated some of the videos I've found on KZfaq on other channels that really get in to the details of the watch. While I think that it may limit the audience who ultimately watch these videos, I thought it was a lesser used approach to making watch repair videos and may help separate my channel from others. Ultimately, whether 1 person or 1 million people watch the videos, as long as someone out there finds it helpful I think it is worth it. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!

Yeah, they made some really nice watches back in the 60s and 70s. They would probably do well re-issuing some of them.

Thanks so much. I'm working on the next one right now. Just waiting on a part to arrive before I can finish putting it back together. The watch in the next video had a bit more going on inside than I had anticipated. A less than honest eBay seller! Hopefully it will end up making for a good video though.

Very kind of you to say. Thank you Dennis.

Thanks so much.

Haha, fair enough! Thanks Gersberms!

I know the feeling! I appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching.

lol. I agree.

I didn't notice that earlier, thanks!!

Thanks so much Ted. I really appreciate it.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you'll find it helpful. The crystal is 32.5mm. The factory Seiko replacement part would be: 325W04AN00 or 325W04AN depending on where you look.

Thanks so much. My microscope is a: AmScope - SM-4NTP 7X-45X

Is it is a 6206A or 6206B (21 Jewel) movement? If it is, it is Seiko part number: 251617 There are a couple NOS parts available on eBay. Just do a search for "Seiko 251617". There are also several different Seiko movements that also use this same escape wheel. If you want to email me at - WeekendWatchRepair@gmail.com - I can send you a full list of compatible movements, which if you can find a good deal on a donor watch with the correct movement type you can use the escape wheel from it. NOS is always preferable to a donor movement, but it just depends on the cost and how easily you can source one. Either direction can produce a working replacement part though. Thanks for watching!

Not a repeat question (for me at least). My watchmaking tool journey has been an expensive and educational one. When I started out, I did not invest much into high quality tools. I wanted to make sure that this was going to be something that I wanted to pursue before I invested more money in it. While that sounds great in theory, what I learned is that using certain poor quality tools can take an enjoyable experience and make it much more frustrating. I do not have a prepared list, per-say, and do not have any sort of affiliate links or anything like that. What I would suggest is that even if you are testing the waters, invest a little bit of money and buy a good quality set of screwdrivers, a good set or two of tweezers (I prefer style 7 curved, but also use 2's and 5's), and appropriate stones to dress them. After that, there is a lot of little things that you don't have to spend a lot of money on big name Swiss brands. Parts holders, oilers, case knifes (I prefer my cheap one over my Bergeon), and the list goes on. Magnification is also where you want to make sure you invest in something that you'll be able to use regularly with ease. I quickly learned that I do not like using loupes, so I purchased an Amscope stereo microscope and a boom stand quite early on. Had I not done that, I think there would've been a chance I would not have kept on with watch repair because of my dislike of loupes. I really appreciate the question, I just wish I knew of a shorter way to answer it. I could go on in much further detail about what I've personally learned, but in order to keep it simple, I'd suggest good quality screwdrivers, tweezers, and magnification. After that, you'll settle in to a technique that suits you, and will learn more about what you like and do not like. The basic tools of the trade, screwdrivers, tweezers, and magnification, are where you don't want to shortchange yourself.

@@WeekendWatchRepair Thank you for such a detailed response. I will take all this into consideration on my beginning journey. Can't wait to see more from your channel!

Horotec makes a version of that dial storage case which can be found on Esslinger. It is somewhat expensive for what it is though. www.esslinger.com/horotec-plastic-dial-case/ If you order anything through CousinsUK, they have a less expensive alternative. I am in the US, so I don't order from Cousins very often unless I can't find the item in the US (to save on postage). These are the one's I have in my videos, as I bought them as part of a larger order I placed there: www.cousinsuk.com/product/watch-dial-box

@@WeekendWatchRepair thank you! Everything in this genre is expensive 😅 I think Esslinger has gotten about half of my retirement fund by now 🤣 🙈

Don’t I know it! I think they’ve raised their prices even recently. Sometimes I find it worth it to buy from Cousins and pay for expedited shipping on larger ticket items.

On this particular case, the case back is 29.1mm wide with a 0.75mm ring width - Seiko # 0B2910B04. The crown gasket is Seiko # DJ0060B01, which is a D-Shape o-ring that is 2.05mm Wide X 0.6mm Inner Width X 0.8MM ring width.

Several places online. There are a lot of document directories on several forms. Mike at My Retro Watches also has assembled quite a collection of documentation on his website.

@@WeekendWatchRepair thank you. And yes, keep talking, the more you do, the more I learn.

Perhaps. There were several different variants.

Hello Troy. At this time I am not set up to taking incoming work requests. I'll need to get a PO Box and a few other things put in place before I can accept incoming shipments. Thanks for reaching out though. I really appreciate it.
