Join me in this video as we restore a 1976 Seiko 70098109 that come to me in quite poor shape. I'll walk you through a practical mechanical service, tackling issues and making necessary repairs as needed. The spotlight of this video is on the case and bracelet restoration, where I share a simple, homemade solution in lieu of an expensive lapping machine. No grandeur, just a humble journey of reviving a vintage watch with handson fixes and resourceful craftsmanship.

I've also received several requests for a listing of tools, both essential and nonessential for starting out working on watches. While the list isn't 100% comprehensive, it'll get you 95% there! There are far too many items listed, along with notes on several pieces. You can see & download the full list of parts & links (not all affiliate links) here:
