How I Fixed My Broken Seiko SNXS79 Watch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 сер 2024
- I cracked my Seiko SNXS79's Hardlex crystal when I accidentally dropped it last year.
It took a little while, but I finally got it fixed. This is a short video of how I did it.

the double dome looks real good. Its nice to see a cheap, value packed watch getting love and appreciation. I have one myself and love it
And now it actually looks more expensive than it is!
Alt of the Seiko 5's look more expensive then they are.
I myself have the gold version SNXS80.
Maybe you should get one for modding :)
Ty great video@@ashleytee
Thank you for using my sapphire! I hope you don't mind me using your video to show people how to change the glass. I shipped a present to you too :)
Sure thing! And wow, thanks for dropping by Rob, and the present!
I sincerely hope the present took all of Ashley’s costs, talent and time into account.
You’re set to benefit hugely thanks to her, and you obviously see her channel as an opportunity for you to increase your sales. There are lots of comments expressing interest in the double-domed crystal in this comments section. I’d hope that you’d give her a cut of the additional sales?
Your crystals are great! I have shipped a few down here to Costa Rica (through Miami) really quickly and my watchmaker can't believe they come from so far away!
Hey Rob, just wanna drop you a thank you message again for the present :) I've received it and will be swapping it!
@MonsterRob-gq7se do you ship to Sri Lanka?
Nothing like the joy and satisfaction of fixing something yourself. Nice work and nice watch! 😊
I have a similar Seiko I received for my birthday 46 years ago, I wear it every day. Wonderful watches.
Very nice!
So glad I bought this gorgeous watch. Replaced all my collection. Even my Omega. I adore it. I wear it everyday. Glad you fixed it and gratz for your taste. Enjoy that watch. I know I will. Thank you, SEIKO geniuses.
Double dome was the way to go. The watch looks great and your work is high quality both on the watch and video.
Much appreciated!
Congratulations on the fix. I have a Seiko that my wife gave me for Christmas the first year we were married 1985. I've broken the crystal twice and had it replaced. A year or so ago I bought a Casio Marlin. Did the same thing that I did to the Seiko, dropped it face down on the ceramic tile bathroom floor. Another trip to the watch repair.
Tape on the broken crystal before removing the bezel helps keep all the fragments together and minimizes risk of damaging dial. Glad to see you fix it!
Great idea
Hi, Ashley. I'm not surprised that you seemed excited to see the dial of your Seiko 5 without the glass, as the sunburst-brushed finish is my favourite feature of this model. Seiko does a better job of applying this type of finish than just about anybody else in the industry because they manufacture their own brushed finish machines, featuring unique, ultra-fine polymer bristles. It's definitely one of the main factors making the SNXS models as beautiful as watches costing a lot more.
The double domed crystal looks way better than the flat one. Love that watch. Good work. 🙂
Good job replacing the crystal. Looks better with the double dome. I had a Seiko 5 just like this back in the 60s, so it's quite an old model. It was purchased by my father during the Vietnam War, and it was the one I wore through high school.
Very cool! Is this the Seiko Sportsmatic 5?
@@ashleytee Yes, it had the "rice grain" bracelet which stretched easily, and I had to tighten it all the time.
Thanks Ashley! You have definitely given me confidence to repair my SNXS. I'm really impressed that you did it with such basic tools.
WELL DONE!!!!! Incredible to see someone fixing it themselves. Much respect. I feel more connected to my watch when I've done the repair myself. Cheers.
I really loved your sigh of relief when it was done. So happy for you. You did a great job.
I was really on the fence about trying to replace the crystal for my SNXS on my own, but you just gave all the confidence I needed! Great video, thanks!
It was fun watching you replace the broken crystal with a new DD crystal. It's great to know someone like you enjoys collecting watches, and I recommended my Malaysian wife watch your videos.
Yay! Hello to your wife👋
Nice to see a fellow Malaysian in the watch repairer / enthusiasts space! Love to see you explore more, maybe try more Seiko Mods, or maybe build your own with some Ali Express parts!
good idea!
A gorgeous watch. Thank you for the love and the care you share.
This was my first automatic watch. Never knew about the crystal fixed on by the bezel. Great fix and it's now better than new, well done!
Date night with the hubby now you can wear it again ☺
Yes, the double dome crystal looks great. The smile on your face at 08:52 shows how happy you were at your accomplishment and restoring your prized watch back in perfect condition. Good job! Good video. Thumbs up!
The double dome makes the watch look even more expensive.
It's nice to see young people getting excited about analog watches that run without software 😀
Double dome looks AMAZING! My SNXS79J1 is in the mail and should arrive in a few days. I bought it and a Seiko SSK003 after watching your videos. I've had the 003 for 2 days and love it. I can't wait for the 79 to arrive. I have a 1972 Seiko Automatic 7006-7030 with a broken crystal which needs replacing, probably could do with a service to.
Ashley is so cute! I’m glad your watch is fixed! I have the same one. It’s the best value for a watch. Just as good as a Rolex oyster
Excellent work (and step-by-step walk-though), Ashley…and, yes, the double-dome crystal looks best. I have to say I was holding my breath while you attempted to remove the bezel with all three tools!
Such a beautiful watch and now looks even better with that double dome ! I kinda wish I never sold mine now when I got the SARB033. Well done on the repair 👍
I'm with you - double dome. And I really like that smoky dial color. Glad you fixed it!
Great job repairing your watch. I know this Seiko means a lot to you, and being able to repair it will surely make you even more appreciative of it, as is the case when we learn to repair our belongings.
I’m thinking of upgrading my snxs crystal too. Recently swapped out my other watch with a pt5000 movement , and I got to say it’s a very intimate experience with your watch and make me want to wear it more .
I agree 👍 💯
Excellent work! Thank you for sharing. Love this reference and that incredible dial, got to get one soon.
Started researching on what is double dorm and now I have fallen into the black hole of learning about watch crystals 😂 anyway happy too see that you got to fix it yourself, bought this watch on April and loving it
This is super wholesome, glad to see you fixed it!
Great job! Thank goodness you found a sapphire replacement instead of another hardlex.
I' got mine in 2019 an just now noticed a scratch on the hardlex, I want that double dome crystal! Thanks for this video, I have the same tools as you so I can do it!
Lovely job Ashley, well done, and as a bonus, the watch looks great.
wow, loved the video. im happy u got it fixed by yourself. I still have not pulled the trigger for this watch, but now my next watch for sure has to be a snxs!
wow congratulation! as a person who also loves to fix broken loved things, this video bring me joy. btw I use tempered glass on my snxs79 watch. Few months ago I bought this watch as a gift for myself, and I am still admiring it every day :)
Double dome is the way to go! Very classy!
Nice job getting the crystal in evenly too. It is a good indication the crystal is good quality.
Fantastic watch. I wish they made more of these today. The new ones just have a sporty look with bigger dials.
Great job repairing that beauty!
Well, this is one of the reasons why I admire you: you do things with passion and dedication.That Seiko has a luxurious look with its new crystal
❤❤❤
I woke up this morning to this joyous video 😊
So proud of you and happy to see such a beautiful watch made whole again.
Definitely posting this video on WatchCrunch
Awww thank you so much 🥰
Great video. I enjoyed hearing about your journey to repair your special watch.
Dude, you are amazing! Like your style, cap and all. Big LIKE.
I love Seiko 5 watches, most of them from the 80s or before. Take good care of yours and it will serve you for decades to come.
Nicely done. It looks great!
Great job! The watch looks amazing!
Did your research and fixed it.Well done.
Thx for the video and the links from the description..it was very usefull.thx❤
Looks just as new! Amazing work, the double dome crystal looks like the right choice.
Thank you!
Great job Ashley !!! Love your videos
honestly, I liked the broken crystal look lol. what a conversation piece.
I just bought my first automatic watch (SNXS77) and I'm too scared to do this mod! I might just get the parts and have it installed by a professional.
Great vid by the way! ❤
Nicely done !! now I know how to proceed to change mine . Many thanks!
Superb DYI Job Ashely! Thanks for sharing this! Could do the same mod for my 79 as well.
So happy for you to get it fixed..😊
This was fascinating to watch - thanks for sharing this!
You are one clever young lady. Well done!
Great job! Crystal looks fantastic
Great job!!! congrats and enjoy that beautiful watch 💪
I have the same model... No Jewel refered on the dial. Simple and more aesthetic. The dial shows even more of its beauty👍
There it difference between K and J models. Don't remember which have jewel info on the dial but I have two or three those dials and on one have jewels count.
Nice!!! Great looking watch
Great content and good job! My wife scratched the crystal of her own snx last week 😅 but i think a watchmaker will do the job
This watch is gorgeous. Good job replacing the cristal.
Great job Ashley! I like that you chose the double dome crystal. Your new fan and subscriber Holden from Amish’land (Lancaster/Lititz) Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸
Yay! That's awesome! Hello to you too
Looks good, great video
Brava! Well done.
Great video and beautiful job, not just on the watch but filming...have seen a lot of ppl on here who just do it 'off camera' as it is so difficult to do the detail work and get on video
Wow thank you! And it's true, it is very difficult to fix it while getting it to focus
As you are a Seiko fan, look for a Seiko manufactured in the month & year you were born in (by using the serial number) I finally found my birth watch after years of searching.
Interesting! Never thought about this
Please find it for me 07 05 1986
I love your acent and watch love 😊 Greetings from Croatia ❤
Great video and great job replacing the crystal. Congratulations.
Thank you! Cheers!
HI Ashley. I just found your channel recently and I can tell you're a real watch nut because of how you gushed about that beautiful dial. It's a shame we have to put a crystal over them isn't it?
Well done.
Just ordered my replacement sapphire crystal 🔮 🙌 as well as the case press 😮. Tysm !!! ✨️ ❤🫶
You’re welcome 😊
I like the dome, it’s so special to fix your wedding watch :)
This was lovely. Your face when you saw the naked dial (hahaha)
and when you heard the sound of the case popping in (haven't we all felt that once?).
🤭
Great job, great video! I replaced the crystal on my SNXS79, because I wanted sapphire. I tried both domed first but its reflections in combination with those from the dial was too much. I replaced it again with a flat sapphire crystal and now all is good! 😃
That's awesome !
I just ordered flat one too, hope it looks the same as original just more resilient
I also need to fix the glass my snxs78 this video very helpful to me 💯
impeccably job I loved your reaction when you did realize it was done. I recommend you to get a watchmakers loupe just to better admire that small details on dial or even in the movement maybe in the future you dare to full service a watch. who knows?
Good job.
I have one and enjoy wearing it
Phenomenal, Ashley😃
Nice work. I am sure the double dome is an upgrade.
Glad you were able to fix such an important watch!
Hehe thanks!
Fascinating!, and well done!...would have been cheaper to get someone to do it for you but I understand that's not the point!, plus, you have all the equipment now if you need to do it again!.
Exactly!
7:30 now your watch is stronger than ever! Congratz
Good job! God Bless and have a good one.
Congrats on the MOD. Possible future modes can include a Fluted bezel and a jubilee bracelet
You know you're serious about watch repair when you break out the finger condoms lol. The end result looks great, I did the same operation to my snk803
Lol 😝 I have a whole packet of it
Nice job
Well done!
Good job. Perhaps you may like glass box in future.
this actually give me confidence to work on my watch
I'm glad!
what a nice watch!!
Super impressive!!!
Nice crystal swap process.!!
Watchmaker here, You are going to want to have the movement serviced ASAP as glass shards and dust always make their way into the movement. I have serviced countless watches with shattered crystals and there was always shards inside the movement. other than that, good job on the crystal replacement. Always love seeing people getting into watch repair!
hey hey, thanks for dropping by and appreciate the helpful advice, I will get it check!
i am lucky enough to own this, love it
Well done ❤
Good job! 👍🏻👍🏻😅
looks nice!
one group member share this video on seiko fb group. great video! may i know your camera setup? 😊
