Hi

I own a Seiko Sealion Automatic which I had bought for my 21st by my parents, its still going and I am now 69.  Seiko make great watches.

I also own a Baume & Mercia Clifton and more recently an Omega Quartz on an impulse at an auction.  I have removed the movement (1310) and it looks like it needs some tlc.  I have ordered a new battery for it but I have my doubts if it will run.  I wondered should it live up to my expectations and not work if there are any diagrams or instructions on how to dismantle and repair or tests that can be carried out.

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By dnhb · Posted

      The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

      In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
