Oh man, this one was a pain! The 5606 had some interesting design/engineering decisions. But the worst for this model was being only accessible via the glass (you need to take it out via the front, not the case back). Glad to be done with this one 🥲

Apparently we're eating cicadas now 🦗

This is almost ready to be worn, but it actually doesn't have a stem. I'll need to order one in the new year, since I'm definitely not getting one this side of Christmas.

That'll do, turtle. That'll do. 🐢

Working from the Sydney office today. Decided to take the #Seiko 6139 for the day

Oh, and here's everything else disassembled (minus the rusted parts not worth cleaning)

Did some cleaning of the main plate. Scraped the majority of the rust and gave it a rust-remover bath to be sure it won't come back.

Started work on the #Seiko #6309-7040.
So, the crown gasket must have needed replacing, right?? 🫣🥲
I wonder if this 40 year old watch was actually used for diving?

Coming back to this #Omega 1143 after a break. Will have to shelf this one for a bit, but it's been a fun learning experience regardless

Fresh from Japan, I found a #Seiko 6309-7040 from my birth year, '84.
Not in working condition, but I've already repaired a 6309 before 👍

It's even got the original strap 😍

Seiko 5 7019-6010 overhaul complete ✅

This one took a bit longer as it didn't come with the original stem and crown, which were special; the internal bezel rotates with the help of a tiny gear and spring that sits in sync with the stem.
