Mark, I just watched the video. I can't thank you enough for it. I do have a question regarding reassembly of the hairspring in the wheel. If I don't have a jeweling or a stacking tool, is there anything else I can use to attach the hairspring to the balance wheel? Thank you in advance for your answer. I enjoyed both videos soooo much and what is most important, I've learned immensely! Thank you again!

Lovely rich looking face and the case is shining like the veritable stuff on a barn door, outstanding, vic

I'll probably post one separately once I've done it a few times and am happy to move onto another movement. Besides taking apart Seikos, I also enjoy writing quite a bit. Fiction, technical articles (http://phpsecurity.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) and a blog. Should be fun working that into watchmaking...

Another excellent video, well illustrated and explained. Thanks Mark!

well at least it swings!

ROFL! The question I'm asking myself Geo, is .... exactly WHAT was the search term had she typed in fleabay to bring that up on the search list ... maw haw haw haw :lol:

Finished at last. It required a lot more than I originally thought. 1) Stem with spring, bezel gear and crown. Many thanks to Roger "Autowind" for supplying this. 2) Pusher springs. The springs were missing. 3) Balance assembly and bridge. The stud was broken off the hairspring making timing impossible. 4) Delecate repair to bezel teeth. Damaged at some pint due to stem gear not engaging properly. 5) Required movement retaining ring and spring. It had been abused at some time and was cracked. 6) Replaced minute counter hand. A replacement had been fitted but was the wrong shape. 7) Replaced and lubricated all seals. 8) Totaly re-finished case. 9) Fitted new replacement strap. 10 Enjoying wearing it! There is slight abrasion to the coloured outer bezel, I may replace it at a later date.
