I wouldn't say it's super easy. A correct size mainspring winder is needed and leaving the T end out of the winder is the trick to get it in. Not the easiest thing for a newbie. -

Apparently this the case. Thanks Update on Seiko 4006 Barrel Arbor Issue Just a quick update for those who kindly offered their help—thank you again! I’ve now confirmed that the issue was due to an incorrect barrel arbor. I ordered the Seiko 213.805 barrel arbor from Cousins (part number SEI213805), which was listed as compatible, but after comparing it closely and contacting Cousins, they confirmed that the part was not correct for the Seiko 4006. It turns out the wrong item had been listed or picked. That explains why the arbor didn’t seat properly or extend far enough to hold the barrel assembly securely. I appreciate everyone’s input—it really helped me think through the problem more clearly. Thanks again for your support! TT -

Had another strange one on my bench. A Titan ladies watch with an unknown movement. It had a battery leak and initial test revealed a short circuit. I removed the PCB and gave it an acid wash. The short was cleared and I reassembled the movement and dropped in a new battery. I thought that was it, job done. But when I looked at the second hand carefully, I noticed something wasn't right. It would tick one second, then twitch the next second. Like ... tick ... twitch ... tick ... twitch. Weird! So I disassembled everything and ran it through a cleaning cycle. I didn't take any photos during disassembly because I thought "how hard could it get? It a quartz watch". Boy was I wrong. Took me 2 hours to figure out where everything went. But everything worked out fine in the end. After dinner, I researched more on the Titan watch company and found out that the movement is an in-house movement, the 5130. There was a video on YouTube even.
