Seiko Quartz Final Restoration
Переглядів 5183 місяці тому
Sit back and enjoy as we trouble shoot this Seiko quartz watch from the 1980s. The original movement is 8123A with 5 jewels. Could this Seiko quartz watch be a Kobayashi Maru ( a no win scenario)? I found that the best and most economic solution to repairing this watch is to replace the movement. I found a compatible movement VX43 from a Watch parts and tools supply store called Somal Canada. s...

Nice boat Robert!.I love it!!. I almost bought a Larson from our Innisfil Marina. I opted for a 2003 20' Doral cuz it was in my budget.
Hello Nino, Thanks for watching. Ironically my first boat was a Doral Colt and I loved it. I sold it years back so when I wanted another boat and I saw this Larson, I feel in love with it.
I do love my Doral. A very solid boat. Your Larson is a beauty!. Thanks for commenting
Nino here from Barrie! .. Great videos my man!. I subbed!
Thanks for watching.
❤❤
Thanks for watching.
So reverse threaded?
Yes, I made this video for 2 reasons, to remind myself which direction to turn the filter and share this knowledge with others. Thanks for watching.
@@robertjordan7323 I remember my first time changing the fuel filter out, and not knowing it was reverse threaded. Needless to say a lot of wasted time thanks for your video.
Its a fricken jar, not a bottle.
You are absolutely correct! Thanks for watching.
Hi gd work, where are you?
Thanks for watching. I'm in Ontario, Canada.
In Quebec , it is ' Village des valeurs '...
Thanks for watching. I wonder if there are any in Quebec that bulk up their broken watches like this?
@@robertjordan7323 Yeah a lot , but i don't collect watches . Oh , i have some but all work great ..
Good job brother. Keep going
Thank you, I will
Keep up the good work, Nice to see new individuals getting in to this hobby, The thing I have found with some Seiko quartz movements is to just lubricate lightly and then wind the hands around several times in both directions and then put a brand new battery in it and leave it sitting for some time whilst randomly winding the hands, again in both directions, Always remember that quartz movements tend to have a hacking function so pulling the stem out to set the time will stop the seconds hand from rotating, so remember to push the stem back in after time setting has been achieved,
Thanks for watching. I'll keep this in mind for my next quartz project.
I think you paid $10.99 too much.
You may be right Michael. Thanks for watching. I'm still going to try giving the Saga and Timex a restoration.
Again NOT A BOTTLE , but a JAR instead ..bottles have long necks on them
Thanks for watching.
Watches are great , but they are in a JAR not a BOTTLE .. JARS have lids you can take on and off .. bottles do not have that ..
Very true. A pickling preserves bottle. When I'm done with watches, I can preserve some pickles, LOL.
@@robertjordan7323Pickling jar.

Nice
Thanks for watching.
That timex alone could be worth much more than 10.99 once it’s all cleaned up and restored. Good deal 👍🏻
My thoughts exactly. Thanks for watching.
Apostle Load of !!CRAP!! watches my Casio pro track watch is better them not worth showing them wahat a waste of time and money not even worth my ratishons .
where is a glass :)))
I think saga was made by timex and actually was a brand they made. I’ve got a saga watch and it has a timex movement and case back and everything
I think you are 100% right. I have another Saga I bought separately and when I opened that, it looked very much like a Timex movement.
nice bottle.could be worth millions
The Timex looks to be from the 70s. The last two digits below the 6 are the year. I'll also bet you can sell that band for more than you paid for the lot. Some leather conditioner will clean it up and somebody wants that for sure.
I bought a GA110 from a pawn shop a few years ago. I wore it for a couple of years and now my cousin is using it. Great watch!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
My pleasure
next time test the coil first.
Great suggestion!
Perfect🙂👍
Thanks 😄
Hello, great video. I have the same movement and the date wheel gets stuck, it cant advance on the next day, the day wheel advances but the date gets stuck. Do you know how to fix this?
Hello, interesting. I never saw my movement do this. I'll look at my movement to see if something stands out. Have you taken it apart yet?
@@robertjordan7323 not yet, i dont have the necessarry tools, but im planning to get them and try to fix it myself.
Hello, I posted a video on my solution to getting this Seiko running again.
@@robertjordan7323 thanks for letting me know!
Same here - Canadian and my Dad left behind his 1954 Bulova 10CSC, which I remember from early childhood, and coincides with his graduation year. case is same as yours but dial numerals are at 12, 3, 6 and 9. I have yet to figure out how to let down the mainspring. It’s not a simple matter of pulling back the click, because if you remove the automatic works from the main upper plate, things are still under tension and can go flying. Also it frequently goes ‘bzik,’ which seems likely to be caused by the wrong grease in the barrel.
Hey, thanks for watching. This Bulova is still giving me troubles. I cause one problem and fix that and create a new issue. I'm still working on this watch. Hope to have the video out soon. As for the main spring, the click on yours can be pulled back so you can release the spring power?
@@robertjordan7323 I haven’t had my 10CSC fully apart, still waiting to learn more. If the click is pulled away from the mainspring barrel, the mainspring does not unwind. It seems there could be more than one click or ratchet between the auto works and mainspring. If I remove the top plate of the automatic works, things want to fly away, indicating there’s energy stored, but it hasn’t been released it yet. Any idea if there’s a technical service manual online for this movement?

Hey my comment disappeared? Is that the oil filter?
Hi, this is the fuel filter that I'm changing. I have a separate video changing the oil filter.
@@robertjordan7323 I found it thankyou SO MUCH you're so awesome!!!
Came out really nice. Good clarity with a nice shine
To me the bottom battery connection looks corroded...
What if I drained the coolant out of the MerCruiser cruiser inboard outboard motor? Do I have to fill the engine block back up with water so the impeller isn’t working overtime? Or is this not necessary? 2:41
Hello Robert, Thanks for watching my video. If I understand your question, once you are ready to start your engine, your motor always needs to have a supply of water to cool. Either from a hose like in my video or the lower part of the motor can be in the water(lake/river). Does this help?
Hello I have a seiko quartz with digital bottom I need restored
Hello Franke, thank you for the inquiry and watching my video. I'm a hobbyist at this and the watch you speak of may be more suited for a watch maker. Have you tried a watch maker/jeweler?
@@robertjordan7323 no I havent. Just seen your video and it made me want to get it restored. Thx
@@frankevega No worries. When I finish the video on this watch, my most economical solution was to buy a new quartz movement and install it. Replacing the defective coil on the original was way too costly.
@@robertjordan7323 thank you for your time. Nice video btw. Keep up the good work
Just call it summerizing bud lol
I kid you not I have the same exact watch. I'm trying to get mine restored as well.
That's great! I finally have the broken screw removed from before. Now I have to finish disassemble, clean , oil and put back together
The Seiko 7N43 quartz movement is a direct drop in replacement. Of course it doesn't have jewels, but if you want a watch that works, that is the way to go - if you cannot repair the 8123.
Hello Mark, yes. Also, I determined the VX43 movement will work as well. Found a dealer carrying them for $7 each. More cost effective than Ebay and a donor coil from a past movement for $60. I'm in the process of putting it in.
Please post how it goes! I’m trying to revive the exact same watch. Thanks!
@@russelljjackson123 , will do. Have you narrowed down where on your watch the issue may be? Coil or something else?
@@robertjordan7323 I’m just starting. This was my first real watch, and I recently found it at my moms house. The battery had leaked, so I cleaned that up as best I could with tweezers and rodico. Then I popped in a new battery and prayed but to no avail!
Do you do this for customers?
Hello Romeld, I'm just a hobbyist starting out at tinkering with older watches.
@@robertjordan7323 then you cannot go wrong with my watch that I need reviving
@@romeldphillips3146 what do you have that needs reviving?
@@robertjordan7323 a Seiko Quartz sport 100
@@romeldphillips3146 You obviously tried a new battery?
Victory!
Really enjoyed watching the video, Im a hobbyist like you,I’m on to my 34th watch. I’d advised getting a casing cushion and to keep stripping the movement down and rebuilding it. This I found helps with dexterity with the tweezers and your understanding will develop over the movement. Use one dip to clean jewels and the pellet fork. Rodico is another essential and is cheap, I use it for everything. Good luck for your future watches. P.s. get a magnet it can really help with finding missing springs and screws. Just keep it well away from your screwdrivers.
Thanks for the tips, I appreciate it. The funny thing is I started this because my 5 yr old mechanical Bulova stopped and I pulled my Father's watches out of the drawer and wanted to use them. Now it's becoming an interesting hobby. Hopefully I can start collecting tools.
As for the setting bridge and spring almost all movement makers had a one-of-a-kind setting bridge in order to clear any copy right issues. Part suppliers like Best Fit have pictures in their catalogs that has a drawing or picture of each bridge. This movement is mostly the same as a Durowe 570 as a 11 1/2 ligne and the picture shows there is a spring that is missing/broken on the bridge. Somewhere I don't recall at the moment there are free downloadable copies of the catalog.
Thanks for the info David.
No problem if you need any pictures of it I can see if I have anything else
@@daviddillman3301 you're right. I found photos of the Durowe 570 on the Ranfft website. That spring on the dial side is definitely broken.
Also, did you remove the main spring to check it out and clean and grease it?
Hello Ron, thanks for watching and asking. I opened the main spring barrel to see if the spring was not broken. However, because this is my beginning to watch repair I don't have a main spring winder so I left the spring alone and replaced the lid back on. Also, I did oil the jewels including the balance jewel. The hardest was getting the balance jewel cap off with out loosing it.
Did you oil/grease any of the parts?
Hello Ron, yes I greased and oiled all the parts. Sorry I didn't show that in this video.
👍
My boat starts perfect, after two minutes stops running. So what could be the issue!
It sounds like your engine may not be getting fuel? Did you check that?
Besides all that aggravating noise that is not necessary we understand what you doing , why did you not show how actually remove the oil filter instead than putting back on
Hello Tony, yes the pump is soo noisy. The reason I didn't show the filter removal was because the old filter is garbage at that point and when you see me install the new one, you see the direction it turns to tighten. For the new filter I felt the oiling of the seal was a more important step. However, I do appreciate the comments and suggestions! Thanks
That mower is running pretty strong.
Yes it is. It's an old beast given to me by a friend.
Left it too hazy my man
Your lost me at the tire
Hello, what I was trying to explain is that it is important to check and top up your trailer tire pressure. While sitting during storage, the tire pressure can go below recommended. It's important to check the pressure and add air if low. If the trailer is driven on a tire with low pressure, that tire could blow while moving.

Robert do you have the single point drain and the blue vent plugs? Do you know those blue plug part numbers?
Hello Robert, yes I have a single point drain for my water and blue vent plugs. However, I don't know the blue plug part number. If this is a Mercury engine, I would imagine a Mercury dealer would know.
Hello Robert. Thanks for watching. I have a single point water drain that open and closes with the turn valve. The blue vent plug allows the water to escape faster. Unfortunately I don't know the part number for the blue plug. I've never lost one yet, knock on wood. Perhaps a Mercury dealer can help with this ?
Thank you Robert.
