Hello to all
I am new for the forum, in adult 40 years age from Helsinki, Finland.
Found here by finding Spencer Klein's youtube channel, from there to Worn&Wound interview and here I am. Nice to find watch maker who has heart for Seiko.
Really like Seiko, how they do their thing, in house movements, original TUNA, 6139/6138 chronograph, 7A28 7210 quartz movement/watch.
I study 2nd grade of micromechanics in Finnish watchmaking school. Got bitten by obvious watch fever last year november so I managed to stay out of watches all two and half months. Fell in love with Seiko 6139-7100 Helmet aka Darth Vader and search'd for my own ever since. First with little to no budget and now with bit savings.
Manage'd to swap non running swiss hand winding watch to franken Helmet that is in parts. Problem is that I dont know yet how to rebuild it or how to adjust it, so far I have only rebuild wall clock and serviced non running seiko5 that didn't run, just for learning. I would have to wait till end of 3rd grade to know how and still I would end up with frankenstein watch that has bad re production dial, wrong bracelet, wrong back of case, re production hands and so on.
So here I am, trying to find nice, original Helmet for good price.
Best regards
Samuli
Oh and to add, have strong JDM car history with huge amount time spent in forums, behind the wheel and under the bonnet.
