Thank you for fantastic video. Could you please tell me what is the jewelling tool brand name you are using and where to buy?
@hal0eight 28 күн бұрын
It's a "FAVORITE" brand tool. Probably not made since the 1970's, so you have to buy used now.

What air compressor is used? Do you have an air compressor you’d recommend. I’d also like this compressor to provide bench air
@hal0eight Ай бұрын
Any airbrush style compressor should be OK. You need it to be able to provide about 6 BAR.

From a mechanics point of view all your points are spot on. But this is a hobby of passion and with that some practicality goes out the window. Car people know Alfa Romeos are terrible cars but that doesn’t stop people from lusting after them. Or fantasizing about driving them on a sunny day in south of France. You accept some inconvenience in order to have some things you want. Is that ideal? No. But how many things in life are perfect? Here is a question. If you could service/repair it and you had full OEM support would you charge the same price for a 7s and it’s derivatives as you would for an 8l35? Based on everything you said it shouldn’t be much different. It’s simple with less parts. I don’t think you would. I think you would ride the “premium” train a charge more. I do agree with you that due to a lot of ignorance there is some major overblown hype on these. At the current +\-$3k price these are at in 2024 they are much more expensive then they used to be, but so is everything else. A Sub is $9500, in that light an sbdx017 or whatever for $2500 street price is way less. Not as good but 8/10s there. Certainly a great deal for me because it ticks all the other boxes. And if I have to send it to Japan once every 7 years. So what. It’s not a car that needs a service every few months.
@hal0eight 2 ай бұрын
I charge a fixed rate for 3 hander and 3 hander chronometer, so it would be 3 hand chronometer rate if OEM parts were available. You do you, if you don't mind sending it to Japan every service cycle, then cool. My main point is what you get for your money. The marketing around these movements pushes them as something mythical, and they simply aren't. That aside, I have a real problem with OEM manufacturers trying to control your watch from the cradle to the grave. SEIKO isn't alone in this, several of the other big brands do it as well. It significantly reduces the freedom you have to do what you want with your property, for no other reason that straight up profits for the OEM. Some people know I'm part of the Right to repair movement and strongly believe you should be able to choose your repairer. Without technical information and parts available, the OEM can choose to kill your product at any time they like. It may be within 10 years, may be 20, who knows. Also, without the parts out there, the aftermarket will not be able to fix your watch when that happens. It's a very nasty problem waiting to happen. There will be no vintage scene for these watches.

I note that this video is three years old. I have my 8L35s serviced at the Seiko service centre in Bangkok, Thailand. A service and case polishing is a fraction of the price for a Swiss watch overhaul.

I just sold mine. Bracelet felt incredibly cheap. Case size was also just too small in my opinion. If it was 41mm, or they release a new pogue I'll be all over it.
@hal0eight 3 ай бұрын
Bracelet sucks. As it's a direct re-release of the 1960's watch, it's the same size. Dinner plate sized watches weren't in fashion back then as people wore them, all the time, so smaller was better,

I started servicing a similar one (61A without calendar), but when I opened the mainspring barrel lid, mainspring cracked. Do you know where can I get a modern or generic mainspring that suits this movement? I'm in Japan and I can't find the original part anywhere (ref. 401525?). I suppose I can find a similar watch and extract the part, but that shouldn't solve the problem as I get another incomplete watch and another risk of broken spring... So frustrating!

Hey there, when using the trimmer is it clockwise to speed up the movement and anticlockwise to slow it down? I have a 7546.
@hal0eight 3 ай бұрын
It really depends where the trimmer is set to already. I don't remember which direction it is because I always do it on a Flashtest or QT-77. As the trimmer is so sensitive and just takes a whisker to change, I wouldn't try it without diagnostic equipment.

@gordonwbell 5 ай бұрын
I realize this is an old video, but a small correction, the 6138 watch is the better movement than the 6139 because it has manual wind, and day/date quick set, but it pulls out to 1st position to set day/date, and of course 2nd position to set the time. So no pushing, and it’s dead reliable.

The 5740A and 5740B movements are low beat. Both are found in the 5740-0010 models. The large balance wheel is the giveaway here. The 5740C is the high beat version, with a smaller balance. Also, the crown may not be genuine on your example, as the knurling appears to be coarser than what is typically seen on the 5740-0010.
@hal0eight 5 ай бұрын
Thanks, yeah I've never had an A or B here before, but have had dozens of C's through here and didn't check the tech sheets before making the video. I checked a few of my parts books for the crown and it does specify 55W12, which is a crown with a finer spline on it, domed "hat" and no SW. That said, a google image search does show some examples having the old SW crown, so it's a tough one to call. They have been known to change the appearance of parts over a production run. I think you are most likely correct though, that it is the finer spline part and this has been replaced at some stage.

Why do you need to bore that area and put jewel?. You avoid tear and wear but you add the hole size..What happen? Why seiko did not advise that way?.
@hal0eight 6 ай бұрын
I think you missed the point of what is being done here. SEIKO didn't advise anything. What I'm doing here is installing jewels on both sides of the barrel as these movements are prone to very serious barrel arbor wear after 50 years of service. The jewels fix the problem permanently.

It's pretty easy, it's just via the small screw on the regulator arm. If you can't adjust it within what the screw can compensate for, your watch needs service.

Hey how are you getting these angles? I’ve been trying desperately to be able to record videos like this but I can’t. The best I could muster are the angles that I have in my latest videos. It’s good enough for now, as I’m just trying to build up a nice portfolio and get better with editing, but I would really like to know how or what you used to get these angles. I really enjoy your content. You’re a really strong speaker, I wish I could say the same. If you don’t mind me asking. Did you get better with time? Are you using scripts? Sorry if I’m bothering a lot. You’ve helped me out so much on Reddit so I was hoping you’d be willing to help out a little more

@hal0eight 8 ай бұрын
I'm worse with scripts, so prefer to just say everything as it comes to me. I've done a lot of public speaking before in various forms, so I'm pretty comfortable with it. If the audio is particularly bad for whatever reason, some of the videos I've voiced over during editing but as I don't enjoy editing and find it incredibly boring, I don't like having to create more work for myself. If you look at some of the earlier videos, they are fairly crappy. For this one, I had a macro adapter for my Sony RX-100M3. That's attached to a boom arm on my desk and the film is shot upside down, as the camera is in front of me at a slight angle on the desk. The boom arm is bolted to the back of the desk. Then I flip the video 180 degrees during editing. I've since got a Sony ZV-E10 which has interchangeable lenses and have an absurdly expensive macro lens that will focus at about 1 metre away from the subject and is a bit sharper. That is better as my fingers blocking the camera are less of an issue. Lighting is a huge issue. At this time I was using some clip on LED lights. I've since changed to some light panels by Iwata which have more flexibility.
