In this video Mike takes on another Seiko challenge. This time its the iconic Seiko Turtle from the 1970s. One of the evolution models born from the Seiko "Willard" model.
This is no ordinary repair though, oh no! far from it. This watch has been to an authorised Seiko service centre who were unable to repair it and in actual fact made it run worse than it did before any work was carried out! Watch as Mike explores the movement looking to find the problems. What he does find will shock you for sure! Please like, subscribe and leave a comment if you enjoyed this video.

About me:
My name is Mike and I am a hobbyist watchmaker. I am completely self-taught in watch repair and restoration. My channel is all about my journey of hobbyist of watchmaking. I have watch repair tutorials, watch restorations and watch repair videos. Some of my content you can easily follow along to if you are working on the same watch movement. My main focus is to document my journey and inspire more people into this wonderful hobby and demonstrate that this hobby can be very rewarding. I do not profess to be a professional watchmaker and in my videos, I show all my mistakes, mishaps, highs and lows and keep everything as honest as possible. It is easy to edit all the mistakes out and make my videos look perfect but I believe that keeping it real reflects the true reality of this hobby. So, what are you waiting for? please check out my watch repair and restoration videos, get inspired and start your own watchmaking journey.
