okay so we are getting right through this movement i will say if you ever want to take up this hobby i know some of you um are wanting to do that as well uh and some of you you know just love watches and then there's even some of you that watch that are like i don't even really like watches i just like seeing how this goes and you're all welcome here this is uh this hobby you don't have to even own a watch to enjoy it but if you do want to get into the actual repair part of it this is the easy part taking the watch apart um is quite easy you will find that putting it back together is much much more complicated than uh taking it apart but i encourage people to try taking a watch apart anyway and even if you don't get it back together you still learn a lot the first watch that i ever worked on i took apart and i never put back together because i didn't know how but i still felt like i learned a lot okay the keyless works comes apart and that means the sliding clutch and the clutch wheel are just free to come out of the movement and there we go a nice little pile of parts and now of course i can put back on the balance as i mentioned before this will go back on before the watch goes into the watch cleaning machine and as i do this i'd like to remind you that if you like what i'm doing here on the channel you can support me via patreon i've actually got it all set up where you get a thank you card in the mail and i'd like to give a special thank you to trevor seth robert 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
