WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS.
You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use KZreads lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and KZread deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches.

I absolutely love old Seiko 5s so I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
6:45 in the morning? That’s dedication! Those are some beautiful watches. Thanks for sharing!
I love these vintage watches from the 70s and 80s, specially the Seiko QR, I own one thanks to one of your videos, it's been 1 year since I bought it and it still looks fantastic....I am loving it!!! It's incredible how well this watch was made, 50 years later it keeps working with an exceptional precision...
Really love the last one with that amazing dial!!They all are a thing of beauty!!!
Great stuff 👍 Good old school!
Some absolutely stunning watches there Gary. I have two old watches, both Swiss, a 65 year old, plus an even older family heirloom, an 85 year old pocket watch issued to Turkish Railways and given to my granddad when he was with the Irish Consulate in İstanbul from 1938 to 1947. Ireland and Turkey both being neutral countries in WWII. Is it destiny that I ended up living in Istanbul myself? Maybe watches have special powers!

So many watches here in cool design but hard see them in media... Thank you very much.

I love these watches and the value they offer. The watch heads, the design, styling and technology are all excellent at this price point and the dimensions work really well for me. As positive as I am about the watches, the bracelets - in my experience - are pretty awful pretty much across the board and so, while I can get excited about originality and integrity, I am mostly happy with a good watch head knowing I will likely be finding a new strap anyway. So great that you are spreading the word about the watches themselves but I find it really interesting just how far bracelets (not necessarily for Seikos) have come on since the seventies! Look forward to seeing more cont about all these SQs, QRs, QTs, QZs, etc. which can all seem a bit of a baffling muddle.
Awesome Gary🤯😎👍
Very nice.
More vintage seiko’s please!! That type two is gorgeous 😍
Not my thing but great work there Gary

I paid 85 euros to service my seiko 5 actus watches (2 watches) and I am so happy I did so. Both of them manufactured (made in in japan) in 1974. It is worth spending some money to sevice/restore some old watches with history. Your video proves that it is a lie that quartz watches do not last for many years.

@@ILikeWatches2 I've recently got a couple king quartz and grand quartz with the intentions to clean and fix them. None of them look as good as the ones you've done!
Interesting how those quartz movements compare to modern ones. If you compare some old G-Shocks from the 90s to modern re-issues of the same models you see corners cut there too. The LCDs are less intricate and the functionality is reduced. Although I expect profit margins are increased.
Had to pull the trigger on that green beauty 😻

I’m using a combination of wet and dry sandpaper up to 10,000 grit followed by liquid polish…it’s VERY slow going though. I’m getting some diamond pastes to see if that speeds it up…I’m happy with the results but my god it’s slow!
Nice watches, seiko fever
Ok, I'm going to share my strap secret, strapco has a mystery bundle where you get 10 random straps for $70, BUT, they have a buy 2 get 1 free, now we are getting 30 straps for $140, wait, there's more, they have a July 4th 25% of THAT price so you get 30 straps for $105 pl tax, per strap comes in at less that 4 bucks per and I've gotten a good variety mixed nato, rubber, leather. Check it out.

Lovely pieces from back when Seiko actually cared about quality and value 👨🏻🦲👍🏻 Such a shame they haven't cared for years now. Especially the last five years where their stuff has been nothing but junk quite frankly.
