This time I'm restoring a vintage Grand Seiko from 1968. The watch was sent to me by Fabrizio, a viewer from Italy. He bought the watch at a flea market along with a few other watches for $20. The seller obviously didn't know what he was selling and due to the condition of the watch, it was actually hard to tell. This Grand Seiko watch had a retail price in 1968 of 40,000 Yen (about $110 at that time) and sells for over $1000 today. The Reference of this watch is 6146-8000 (61GS series) and it´s powered by the Seiko 6146 automatic movement.

A big thanks to ‪@lapinistwatchrestoration‬ who provided me with the caseback and the glass. He does incredible restorations on vintage Seiko watches and sells these cool casebacks and glasses for vintage Seiko watches. Definitely worth a visit at lapinist.com/
