This week I worked on a Seiko diver, pretty beaten up.
It is marked as a 7s26-0030 but it is bigger, size is 7s26-0020s.
I received the watch as seen in the first picture. Then I gave it the works. A service, cleaning and polishing of the case, new domed crystal, new nato strap. It is for sale, visit the shop here.

Seiko 6105-8110 service
Today I started servicing an epic 6105-8100. The owner wanted a new crystal,dial, bezelinsert and hands.
I could convince him to keep it original, and only change the old crystal for a new sapphire.
Build of a black big beast…
In the hollidays I assembled this one…I kinda like it so I think I will keep this one.
Restoring a Seiko 5 Sports
In November I got this watch. There was a challenge !
In this post you will see al the steps I took to make it wareable again
Service of a Seiko 7005 dresswatch (1974)
This watch was 20 minutes slow a day. It stopped now and then, so time for a service.
The watch
Citizen NY 0040 – 8200 200 mtr LEFTHOOK
This watch was found in a lot. Movement, crystal and case were damaged.
Nice feature of this watch is its crown on the left side, at 8 o’clock
I have been able to preserve the dial and hands, so they are original. The only thing I had to replace was the bezel-insert.
I put in a ‘pepsi’ (blue/red), because I liked the combo with a red/black Nato strap.
I am working on another CTZ at the moment, in the next posting I will post some pics of the overhaul of the movement.
The state the watch was in when I received it, is comparable with the other watches. I didnt made a picture of it…
Citizen NY2300 8200 diver 200 mtrs
The other day I had some spare time left, so I worked on a citizen diver I obtained… The 8200 200 mtrs. Work involved: A complete overhaul, changing bezelinsert, crystal and hands, buffing the case, finding a strap for it. Here some before and after pictures:

Seiko 6309-7040 orange dial
The Seiko 6309-704* is a very popular model under collectors. It has a distinctive case shape, known as “Turtle” or “Cushion”.
The best ones are the ones with original dial and hands, but often they come in a very bad state, beyond salvation.
Fortunately there are after market parts for them available, so its possible to resurrect them. Its a pain in the neck for the fanatic collectors, but I think a refurbished watch is better than no watch.

De Seiko 6309-704* is een erg populair model onder verzamelaars. Met een bijzondere kastvorm, de “schildpad” of”kussen” genoemd.
De beste zijn die met een originele wijzerplaat en wijzers, maar meestal zijn die in erg slechte staat.
Gelukkig zijn nieuwe onderdelen verkrijgbaar, dus de mogelijkheid is er om ze weer op te knappen. Hoewel de fanatieke verzamelaar hier pijn in de ogen van krijgt, vind ik een opgeknapt horloge beter dan geen horloge.
