mitchell mikey kevin james george erica dustin brenton brian brett alex and brad thanks for the support i really appreciate it okay so now that we've got that back on there's only one thing left to do which is to take the main spring out of the barrel to make sure that it gets cleaned as well the barrels on these older seikos are a little bit different than the the swiss ones that we normally work on the channel but they're basically the same setup there's a cap there's a barrel there's an arbor and there's a spring it's the same idea so we'll get this uh rather dirty crusty spring out of here see what kind of condition the spring's in and if it needs to be replaced all right here comes be careful with the springs uh but this one actually looks like it's in pretty good shape it's just dirty now let's focus our attention here on the dial this dial like i said is really pretty uh seriously it's held up really well and look at that beautiful sheen and the sunburst effect that it has on it it's really nice but here's something that i found out when i was looking at it this is bizarre look at this that is loom there is that's the glow-in-the-dark stuff on a dial but it's in the indices facing outwards and look at this when i looked at the hands that loom is on the bottom of the hands not the top the hands just look like metal when they're actually on the watch there is loom on the bottom of the hands and i cannot for the life of me figure out what they were trying to do with this but i do have a hunch and we're gonna put that hunch to the test later on when we actually get this watch together i think that they wanted the loom to reflect downwards off of the hands and onto the dial itself and i think that they wanted the loom on the dial itself to reflect outwards onto like a some type of reflective surface and we're going to take a look at that because that is a wild setup for the loom like seriously not what you would expect to see so with the loom taken off of the hands now we have to take it out of each one of these indices and as you can see it's kind of finicky work i have to really get in there but i'm wondering how much loom do they put in and there we go i can actually get the loom out not bad with my tweezers i just have to be really careful and of course i don't want to scratch the dial but check that out it comes out so i'm going to take all of the loom out of each one of those plots and now i can mix up some new loom and we'll replace it and i honestly don't know what to expect you know the design flaw of course with this is that the loom the way it's set up on the outside of the indices and on the underside of the hands it means it never sees direct light and that's what you kind of need to charge up loom so i'm a little skeptical about whether that will actually work
