Set the alarm! Restoring a Seiko Bell-matic "UFO"

Today we have Rui's watch on the bench, a Seiko Bell-matic from 1971. It is affectionally known as the "UFO" given its likeness to a dive watch with that same moniker at the time, and it's a very cool watch!

Join me for a full restoration of this watch as we also discuss the collapse of authoritative sources of information and the impact on all of us thereof. As always we'll go on a few detours, including a wonderful rendition of Old Man River, and we'll go absolutely berserk with a hammer!
