Hi - I’m Tudor, based in New York City. I first got into watch repair over 25 years ago, apprenticing on weekends with a master watchmaker during high school. I’m getting back into it again now… starting with a series of vintage Seiko projects (7005, 7009, and a couple of Bell Matics).  I’m remembering & re-learning a ton... sent a few Dialux springs flying and been on the ground with a flash light a whole bunch these past few months. This forum looks incredibly helpful. Cheers!

This document will be very useful to me. Thank you very much.

You know, building a complete balance complete out of all new parts takes more work than just assembly .  Most west end watches were powered by FHF movements, some by AS and other movement makes as well , some pieces of the  Secundus collection even came  with longines movements.  ----- In case you do not know this movement's caliber No, put up some pix in IDENTIFY THIS MOVEMENT ----  . subforum,  one pic of the keyless would do.   Material houses such as cousins.uk are likely to carry the parts you need.   Providing serviced properly and a simple restoration this watch is likely to fetch $250 upwards on ebay.  No shortage of help and advice on WRT and  by the end of this thread we enjoy seeing your watch run happy.  Regs
