This is a Part II of the video about restoration of the latest Sportsmatic model, that was produced by Seiko. It is believed the production was finished in 1968, but based on the serial number, this watch was manufactured in February 1969, which makes it kind of rare. This is the most rusty mechanical movement I ever restored so far, and I needed to replace many components of the watch by using a donor.
Here is the link to the Part I of this video:

Looks great and the dial is beautiful in its own way

Thank you! I wanted someone's opinion on the dial condition as it applies to the restoration. I've heard, that some people appreciate rough signs of the vintage age, so I used the dial without replacement. Thank you for the comment!

@@ValentechTime opinions vary widely when it comes to wear and tear Some replace and some like the signs of wear Personally I like the wear as it tells a story - most of the time 😀

Nice Job, I notice that you just snug the screws down, no overtightening.

@@ValentechTime some people that do repairs tend to over tighten screws and bolts. Example, I worked in an auto shop and mechanics would use an impact gun when bolting a tire back on. After one or two hammer clicks they should stop, but some leave it on a few seconds which can bend the rim or brake rotor.

@@philipfm NO, I do not over tighten screws, and we do not use impact driver in watch repair. We just need to feel all those delicate screws. 😊
