I just acquired this Seiko 5   6119 "Sushi Roll "  watch .  It is a sought after  piece for those that collect Seikos .

I have missed the winning bid on 2 of these in the past .  The seller said it is in VG condition and only wore it to 2 weddings and was stored for the rest of the time he owned it .

 

The first 2 attached pics are the sellers and the 3rd is from the internet .

I just checked with a Seiko expert friend of mine about this watch and he told me that it is actually a reissue . The originals are rare and even the reissues go for a good sum .  I had checked on this model just before I decided to go for the BIN offer price . With 21 hours to go and the bids at $121 already , I thought that the final bid would be at the BIN price anyway . I'm just pleased to have finally got one at a decent  price .

6119-7160

Serviced this one for a friend in 2012. It was indeed quite rare and fetches high price.

wow! it's a beautiful watch. very nice details - i really like the round applied indices.

i never used to care for the chunky seikos. i liked the divers and the hand winders....but lately i've been looking at (and acquiring) some "proof" actus and DX models. the cases are much like your sushi case. i've been looking at the ones with the gold cases (which are usually badly corroded) and trying to get them for cheap money. the dials are usually gold or browns. i then put them in stainless cases. the combination doesn't sound like it would work, but it does.

There is a seller on the bay [kidith]  , that has NOS Seiko cases with back and crysyal for a very good price . I have bought 2 and have been pleased with these new / old cases . I needed a Seiko crystal that I could not find , but I got a case and orig . crystal  for $19...you can't buy an original crystal for that .

 

Also Seiko Calibers 7005 ,'06 , and '09 are very nice and still affordable ......many of the parts are interchangeable  .

      Kundo - anniversary clock; suspension spring

      By Gabriel025 · Posted

      Hello dear friends, I just bought old Kundo watch... but it is super fast. I need to change suspension spring. Does somebody knows which dimensions I need? Watch is tall almost 30cm (11.8").  Dimensions of the spring mounted on the watch are - 126mm (4.96") x 14mm (0.055") x 0,08mm (0.0032").  Since the spring is bent, I'm not sure if these are the correct dimensions. It was measured with a ruler. On the Internet I find several different dimensions of springs for Kundo watches. Can you please help me and say which of these springs would be suitable for my watch? Pictures are from German watchparts seller. He said that they are original for Kundo anniversary clocks. They have marks 1, 3A, 3B, and 3C. I'm planning to buy just a longer spring and try to make the whole thing by myself, but I need correct measures. Is the fork on the existing spring properly mounted? Isn't she facing the wrong way - upside down? Thank you very much!

      That Waltham is at the top of the tree when it comes to their models. Lovely looking movement.

      I think the lume may of been added by a tinkerer, it looks a bit sloppy.

      👍You got it John, but i can think of other worse scenarios that may sway a decision. I know people that have sold things when they were broke and then regretted it in the future and wished they had found a way around it. Everybody has different sentimental attitudes, different thresholds, limits to what makes them capable of doing something. An example is my cousin who is not at all sentimental and parted with my grandfather's watch which he gave to me via my mum. But yes that comment you made is the basic idea, just a timepiece that you value the most, and you are least likely to part with. I'm not a pocket watch fan just yet Mike but that is gorgeous both inside and out and the fact that it was there at the start of your journey and proves testament to your dedication, skill and found forte makes it extra special. These are the ones that can be passed down the family line placed in the hands of someone that will continue to cherish it. Beautiful timepiece 👍

      I've grown very fond of my Longines 30L. Nice and simple, elegant, and very accurate.  But if I had to choose one, it would be one of the pocket watches I first started working on.  And this is is my favourite : a 16s Waltham Riverside (Model 1899) made in 1903.  19 jewels, Breguet overcoil, and adjusted to 5 positions. The centre wheel is rose gold plated. The damaskeening and perlage are stunning (and very difficult to photograph, the pic doesn't do it justice).  When I last cleaned it, I wore it for a week (on an Albert chain of course). It was amazingly accurate, about 1s to 2s /day as I remember. Not bad for a 120 year old watch (and me as a learner).
