    Magnificent 👌. One of the most beautiful Seikos ever. An incredible find, Spencer. Wonderful quality and you’ve given it another 50 years of service.

    I love watching your personal project videos the most. It’s cool to hear how excited you are to be working on something for your own enjoyment.

    This is a testament not only to Seiko building one of the best divers watches of this era,but also to the fighting men who wore them.Great video!(I love how you can concentrate with all the noise from the young uns in the background.)

      Yup, it is all of those things. The kids? I dunno, unless they're screaming like right next to me, it's background noise (though one ear is always open).

    Can anyone who is old enough to remember UHF/VHF tv imagine this kind of programming on channel 56? “Tonight at 8, Spencer takes a DEEP DIVE into a vintage Seiko Diver!” It just wouldn’t happen (maybe on PBS)... 30+ minutes of this kind of stuff is exactly why UA-cam is my favorite TV station!

    Weird that the winding weight screws on this watch fought you. The ones on my 6146 GS had come loose over time and wallowed out the screw holes in the winding weight!
