I've commented this before, but I seriously love your skill, passion, and knowledge of seiko and horology/watchmaking altogether

It was your good self that got me onto the 7A movements with this specific video. I first ended up with the gold Bond watch, as you rightly said, it was cheap. It does need some work as the minute hand is loose, but otherwise is in great condition with the chrono working perfectly. My watch maker recons he can fix the minute hand easily. However, the gold watch is no longer as cheap as it used to be... in fact, none of these 7A watches are cheap now. I think you and a couple of other KZfaqrs let the genie out the bottle 5 years ago and got more people interested. Recently, I finally got my hands on a late Gen1 RAF watch (issues in 1990). My local watchmaker's face lit up when he saw one on my wrist - he also says it is one of the best chrono quartz movements in his opinion. The last 7A I really want is the "Bishop" - I love the look of it. The South African issued watch is also of interest... but I've not tried to hunt them out yet. But after getting the Gen1 RAF watch... I am on the hunt for a Gen2 with the less impressive 7T27 movement. I have a civilian version of the Gen1 Pulsar watch that replaced the Gen2 Seiko. Which means I need a Gen2 Pulsar to complete the set of RAF watches. But I won't be trying to hunt down issued watches in each case, especially for the later Pulsar ones - they seem to command too much for what are essentially disposable watches.

My 7a38-7060 is from 1988. Just had it fully serviced and all the seals replaced. It's currently running +/-0 seconds/day. Amazing.

I have one manufactured in December 1982. It’s a great watch.

Far and away, this is my favorite channel! Thanks for another great video, Spencer.

Terrific video, Always love your instructional vids. Love my 7A watches and now I can appreciate them even more.

Great video! Makes me wanna collect vintage Seiko 7A's now! Thanks for the very informative video. I'll be sharing it will my buddies.

Im watching this a bit late Spencer but I am loving comparing this beauty to my 7T92!

ETA makes a 27 Jewel quartz movement 😮

Thank you for another great video. Yours is my favorite channel on KZfaq. I own three 7a38s and find that I wear them a lot. A great addition to this video would be one where you explain all the functions. I've seen you do some things in your evaluation videos that I don't know how to replicate and don't know why I would. Basically I feel like this watch can do more than I know. Keep up the great work. Also enjoying your new Friday reviews.

Great video as always Spencer. Thank you for all of the insight. The 7A's are very underappreciated.

Your 100% correct!, and in Japan!, the Japanese are still in love with the past 7A’s !.🏆

Thank you for sharing your knowledge about this Seiko 7A Quartz movement. There are so many few information about Quartz movements. And collectors sometimes overlook them over the mechanical movements. But any serious collectors should have a few quartz in their collection ( like I do ) because they are part of the watch history same as for the current digital watch trend. Besides vintage quartz are more affordable for most of them ( unless vintage Tuna lol ). It would be great if you could compare vintage Swiss quartz ( like ESA ) vs Japanese quartz. Regarding Digital watch, Seiko launch their own digital watch the Tuna Solar ref. SBEP ( personally I look it as the G-Shock competition but still keep the Tuna Diving functionality ); I would like your opinion about it.

You sir, are a genius

This video got me pumped up. Great work! Now to re-energize my search for a 702A...

Thank you as always for an interesting and educational video, Mr Kline.

Great Video, Spenser. I just acquired a 7A28 and this is a great motivator to restore it to honor.

Excellent informative and very well presented

Thank god you exist.

Hey Spencer...you know what video would be amazing...your state of the collection!

Really enjoy these vids!👌

I just bought a Seiko 7A38-7280 for 180 bucks which I think is a steal but it's been really complicated to find extra links and I've got thick wrists sadly. Sometimes I wish I was a lesser man. (Just a joke. Skinny doesn't mean you are a lesser man)

Very interesting, cool video.

I'm sure the earliest 7a28 is Nov 1982, and the 7a38 came mid 1983, cool watches, I have quite a few!

Great video Spencer!!!

Great watch until recently had a 7a28 7040 Speedmaster Jdm model only sold it as didn't get as much wear as some other watches, trying to slim down the collection from 20 watches

I have the sports 100 - wish that had a JDM tho. but to my eyes the 7A38-7070 is the most stunning one.

And im proudly wearing one😊 thanks to Baris

I have a 7A38-7070 the pushers are stuck and the bezle is stuck but the dial is working please help.

Everybody copies everybody it doesn't matter Seiko is a great watch they were doing quartz before anybody I have several Seiko's I wouldn't buy them if I didn't like them

Hey Spencer, I found a beautiful Seiko 7a38 7020 built in January 1984, coming in its original box. I've been looking for this watch for quite some time now. Got in touch with the guy who wants to sell it, and I already have a deal in place to buy it from him. However, there isn't any history past one previous owner who only had the watch for about a year. What would you do in this situation?

Hello Spencer, great video. What do you think of Seiko's 6T63 chronograph meca quartz movement. Seiko supplies that movement to micro brand watch manufactures under the VK63 and VK64 movement and are sold for a hefty price tag. I have seen them range in price from $300 to close to $800.

My father recently passed away and going through his stuff I found a two tone seiko 7a38-7069 it has a dead battery and it's been years since I've seen my dad wearing it. It appears to have the button problem you described I would love to fix it just don't know where to go any suggestions?

Does Seiko still service these watches/movements?

Well, I've found some awesome quartz Seikos, ones you'd think were toast. So all the quartz haters just leave more for me to acquire.

In Germany you have to spend 150€ for a normal one

Is that one mine, Spencer?
