Discovering My Grail Seiko: First-Ever Service(?) on a Single-Owner Kakume
Weekend Watch Repair
@weekendwatchrepairAbout
This channel is all about bringing old watches back to life—one project at a time. Whether it’s a vintage piece from the bargain bin or a watch that hasn’t ticked in decades, every timepiece gets a shot at redemption here. I’m a hobbyist watchmaker learning as I go, sharing the full process along the way. From teardown and troubleshooting to casework and reassembly, I try to show it all—successes, mistakes, and the unexpected problems that come with working on old mechanical watches. If you're into the technical side of watch repair, enjoy seeing how things work, or just appreciate the art of putting something broken back together, you’ll feel right at home. My goal is to make each video as informative as it is satisfying—sharing tools, techniques, and a few tricks that don’t always make it into other videos. Whether you’re learning the craft or just enjoy the journey, I’m glad you’re here.

Video Description
In this video, I have the privilege of working on a Seiko 6138-0030 Kakume from June 1975, belonging to an acquaintance of mine. This incredible single-owner watch might be receiving its first-ever service since it left the factory nearly 50 years ago! As I carefully open it up and assess its original condition, I can't help but admire this untouched vintage beauty. After having this watch on my bench, I’ve found a new grail piece to add to my own collection. Behind every YouTube video we create, there’s a lot of dedication and effort.
