I agree 😊

Watch Geek omg I found a circular one with a gold dial and my bank account can't take this right now 🤤

Haha

Look out for the Gold feather, the world's thinness caliber in 1960 @2.95mm tks with a case thickness of 7mm. This probably even harder to find in good condition. Superseded by Citizen Diamond flake in 62' @ 2.75mm but case thickness is the same.

This is evidence that servicing watches frequently is not necessarily needed. Great story 👍

Please please do that watch a favour and get it serviced. It's a mechanical device, an engine, a machine, they have moving metal parts, they need to be inspected and serviced, just because it runs doesn't mean it's not in need and I can assure you that if it hasn't been opened in almost 50 years any lubrication in there will be nonexistent or grinding paste. These movements alone are incredibly hard to get hold of as are spare parts and you could pay as much for a movement as a whole watch nowadays. I'm not just saying this as someone who works on watches and services them, but as someone who also collects, wears and appreciates vintage watches.

I have 19 Seiko watch⌚😀👌

Thanks 😊 I appreciate it

Thanks for watching

Congrats

This gem is disappearing. Once they do the reissue, the price will sky-rocket. I think after Marin's video, a number already gone, haha..

As always thank you for the kind words and for watching 😁

Thanks for watching 😁

Thanks

an AWESOME too. I have 2 of these and don't mind another one. Seiko has so many gems for us to discover.

Thanks 😁👍

Thanks but sadly it's not mine, it was lent to me by a fellow forum member

too bad... i thought it was your's sir. thank you anyway for this video. keep it coming sir. :)

Thanks 😊

your welcome sir...

Thanks for the subscription, and I do have a couple more on the channel 😁

Thanks for the kind words and I'm always glad to find someone else sharing the same thoughts on how cool Seiko was 😁

@@WatchGeek I have a watch collection and among it are several Seiko and several microbrands with Seiko movements. My 1964 Seikomatic is a great watch with some nice features given its age. My 2020 Prospex King Samurai is also well made and compares favourable in terms of looks with the Omega Seamster 300 with its waffle dial. The Seiko I'd like to own is a Co. Pogue with yellow dial and Pepsi bezel.

I was also interested in the pogue but found the black dial coke bezel much better looking in person

So true but it makes finding one even more rewarding because of that. What 6138 do you have? Jumbo, 🐼, kakume or UFO?

Watch Geek - none of the above. I have a brown Bullhead. Love the watch. It’s a KVW restoration.

So true 😁

I think it was because it allowed you to get two time zones but idk looks too tricky

Missed your comment and now read it once someone else commented, it's due to the fact the clutch is in its "sprung" or "loaded" position when the chrono is not running and is in its "unloaded" or "relaxed" position when it hooks up the chrono, thus having the chrono running is better for the clutch. It's like having the clutch constantly pressed on your car, that's how it is when the chrono is not running.

The general rule is that on these it's better to leave it running as the clutch is under tension while the Chrono is not running

@@WatchGeek Thanks! I enjoy seeing the second hand move as well so it's win-win on both fronts by leaving it running.

@@markthibault8579 if you start it at midnight of another time zone you want to follow you will have a dual time watch 😁

@@WatchGeek Thanks. I was going to try that for UTC time as I fly small airplanes.

A couple of questions... With this movement, is it ok to move the hands backwards to set the time? Also, does it matter if the chrono is running when I'm setting the time?

I know of it, it's the seagulls movement. I was planning on getting one in the future, but the seagulls 1963 reissue not the Daytona homage

So true, but it would probably be north of $2500

haha, true, but, i will buy them.

Noooo!!!

I do plan on doing it but new watches keep coming so I never get the time to do it

Here you go 😊 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJ51dNWgnZzceH0.html

Haha it does

Haha thanks
