This is the first watch that will be part of the 'Budget Vintage Rebuild' series of videos. This is a Seiko Sea Lion M55 Weekdater - 6206-8001 - from May of 1967. This watch gets a full strip down, clean, the oscillating weight is repaired, rebuilt, and adjustment to the hairspring is completed. The idea with these watches is to showcase a series of cool vintage watches that can be purchased relatively inexpensively, rebuilt for very little cost, and enjoyed. The cost breakdown of this watch was as follows:
Watch - $112.63 (including shipping)
Replacement Crystal - $12.00 (including shipping)
Replacement Gaskets - $2.00 (estimating cost because gaskets were part of an assortment package)
Leather Strap - $6.00
Total Cost - $132.63
For $132, this is a great looking, and great running, vintage Seiko that will provide years of faithful service. It is watches like these that got me into the hobby, and really what I enjoy working on.
