In this video I will be servicing and repairing 70's Tissot Seastar watch. It's pretty beat up, the case is full of dents and scratches. The crystal is cracked, the hands are bent and it's missing a crown and stem. Furthermore, the watch isn't running at all and it looks like it's someone's previously failed repair attempt.

Have a look and see all the fun that awaits us in this watch. I'll be doing a full restoration of the case, I'll show how to Nickel Plate and re-lume the hands and we'll do some fault finding to see why the watch isn't running, including a full service on the movement. Some interesting watchmaking skills along the way as well!!
