Seiko Sportsmatic 5

Seiko Sportsmatic 5。
Is it a member of "Seiko 5"? When。

Manufactured around 1964。
The Seiko mark is still a piece、The SEIKO logo is also in italics, not the current one.。


The photo above is from the time I got it。
There is evidence that it has been overhauled several times in the past、I came to me in a tattered state a few years ago。

It is ant to continue using it as it is、Plating is also tattered on the stone、I wondered what would remain if I subtracted the fact that I was using "aged items".、Renewed。


Peel off all plating on the case and bezel、Polished the surface of the substrate。Both are heavily corroded、If you scrape the corroded part, you can not keep the original line、The original shape is discarded and the overall shape is rounded.。


The rounded surface will continue to be easy to polish、Because in front of the building、It's difficult to get the edge out and shape it, and it doesn't involve technology.

I didn't notice the original because it was entirely plated with stainless steel.、Bezel is stainless steel、The case is brass、It turns out that the back lid is a different stainless steel than the bezel。

Especially brass can be blackened unless it is polished regularly.。I thought about re-plating it again,、Think of it as a combination of silver and gold? I got the opinion from other people、I see! I wonder if there is such a design、I thought again。
White、Silver、For gold design、Because the bright belt looks good、For the time being, I tried to match the beige strap in color。
(I really want to use beige suede)

The windshield is partially chipped, so I will replace it in the future.、The crown will be screwed in.。
It's an old clock、Not only to enjoy the antiquity、I want to have performance that is not inconvenient in my daily life, so I will remodel it.、It is the same stance as Seiko 5 that I always post。

I wrote about the future modification in the explanation、You might be wondering, "Why don't you post after all?"。
That's true、Installation of screw-in crown pipe, etc.、I don't know if it will end safely、The energetic figure may be the last here w

That's why、I posted it on the way。

    Waterproofing is the number one neck for antiques, isn't it?
    When I went out with KS in "Drizzle" before, the inside of the windshield became cloudy and I hurriedly sent it to OH.。
    Screw-in crown? I'm curious ❗

    1. Yoshipi-
      thank you for your comment。
      I wonder if the low waterproofness of old watches is "unavoidable"、I thought、Is it possible to secure a certain level of waterproofness with a large amount of work? I think。
      I bought a lot of screw-down crowns and pipes on the net、We also have metal drills and taps。
      What today! I succeeded in installing a screw-in tube with another Seiko 5!(*‘Ω’ Nono ☆ Pachi Pachi
      soon、Sportsmatic 5 may also be screwed in! !! !!

  2. SHUKU's Hello。
    Old five is good。
    And I am very worried about screwing crown processing。
    It is said that the five has already been processed successfully.、It's amazing 👍😊

      thank you for your comment。
      In SNZF17 posted the other day、I was able to remodel it into a screw-in crown。
      Also、I will post it from time to time!
      The photo shows the crown pulled out.。

        1. SHUKU's
          Thank you for your photo and explanation 😊
          It's a wonderful work。
          Is the cylinder for the crown press-fitted?
          It's so perfect that you can't even tell it's genuine 👍

          1. Earth-sama
            Thank you for your compliment。
            Tubes Pipes are threaded rather than press-fitted。
            The case and tube pipe are just secured with Loctite、I'm screwed in。
            If you want to remove it, put some heat in it and it will come off.。
            Make sure you didn't see the golden crown mark w

  3. SHUKU's、
    It's very elegant and clear! ️
    Gly looks like a Junghans with a calf belt、Bauhaus ❗️(Bow bow、Matsumura)
    The usual、Processing +、Tokoro that changes to the original SHUKU model、Amazing 😻

    1. Mr. Yoohiyy
      Good evening。thank you for your comment。
      50A clock that is more than a year old is amazing, but it works.、If you polish it, it will shine、I'm also grateful that the ancestors overhauled me and treated me carefully.。
      Because it still works、The shape and color may change, but you can use it cleanly.、I think it's a repayment to our predecessors。
      I think the design is also good。I recommend it because you can get it quite cheaply。
      Please peel off the plating and use a combination color!
