Bought this new back in the day. It was my first big purchase and was nervous and excited to go to an AD and buy it. Back then no cellphones, no smart watches, this was the high technology including it being quartz. 30+ years later in the hobby and I still wear it once a month. This watch started my journey and I will never sell it. Thanks for the video! Had to change the battery and reset the watch. This was to the point and really helped!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! It’s funny that just about everyone who has owned a watch has a story to go with it. These Seiko Aviator watches were very large for that time and they were very attractive that drew attention when you wore it. Both of my sons have their watches as do I and maybe someday they will be heirlooms…
I have had the same watch for many, many years new. It is to me a special time piece as well. Nice review.
Thank you, I haven’t seen a watch that looks better than this Seiko Aviator watch. I don’t know if the Seiko factory services these watches anymore?
Thank you for this great video. I owned this watch and have had it before I met my wife. Still ticking but the date hands keeps falling out and I don't know how to pull out the stem to take out the movement to put them back in. Alarm stem as well in the way, but the jeweler has done it for me twice. I change the battery and get it going but the stem removal seems a bit for me. Any ideas?
Hello eightiesgod (love the handle 😊), I had the same issue once years ago with one of the hands falling off and I sent it to the Seiko repair center in Mahwah New Jersey for repairs. The hands have never fallen off again.
I also had an issue with the buttons sticking and I used “3 in 1” oil to free them up. I applied a tiny amount using a toothpick being carefull not to get it on the movement or bezel. Then using a tiny screw driver I pushed the button out and in repeatedly, adding more oil, until it moved freely. I don’t know how they get those buttons out and how they replace the seals to keep it waterproof? Good luck with your watch and I hope you get it fixed.
Interesting I have the same watch and a white C4 Corvette which you had the watch on at first. My Corvette is a 95 coupe.
Very cool that you have a white Corvette as well! I have a 1985 coupe. It runs good and I will drive it to cars and coffee and other events. I feel sometimes that I am a curator for these rapidly disappearing C4s. I hope that this video helps. You can check out my Corvette videos also if you like.😊
U use a magnetic screwdriver?
No magnetic screwdriver, just a small one that I had available.
