A Vintage Seiko With a Very Strange Problem

In this video, we take a look at a very early 1968 Seiko 6106-8120 Sport Diver that was in rough mechanical shape. The watch had rust issues and was barely running with extremely low amplitude, requiring a full overhaul. Even after getting it running again, it was clear that there were still hidden issues that required additional fault-finding to fully resolve. Join us as we explore the restoration process, uncover the lingering problems, and bring this vintage diver back to proper working order. 👍 Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more watch repair projects and behind-the-scenes stories! 💙 Support the channel on Patreon Creating content takes a lot of time, effort, and resources.
