  1. It doesn't get enough wrist time, but I wore my little (34mm) omega in to work today. Sent from my SM-J727T using Tapatalk

  3. I had a need to safely remove a C clip holding in two pusher buttons and thought I would share my method on the forum. I had a spring bar removal tool with a solid pin on one end and a scalloped forked end on the other. I placed a small bit of rodico on the bottom side of the clip and turned the C <- gap facing up. As you can see in the picture, I simply used the forked end that was the perfect gap to push off the c clips. I installed by getting the clip in place, C gap facing down, and used a #200 flat screwdriver blade and carefully pressed down to lock in place. I used the case wall to keep the c clip and push button slit in line. Don't attempt to push the c clip back on with the button pressed all the way in, use the wall of the case to help keep the clip straight in line. Hope this helps someone.

  4. Vintage Omegas are some of the most beautiful watches out there.

  6. Sorry senior moment (again)!!!!. They are the ones that you just turn to a gap & they just lever outwards. One of the simplest to work with (in my senior opinion that is )

  7. Don't quote me, but I -think- that is a Seiko 6606, marketed as the UTC 42. Mid sixties? I have a Buren with what I believe is the same movement in it.

  8. €30 shipped is a silly price, compare to about £19 from Cousins UK for twice the quantity, and within "sell by" date.

  11. Try a any case back from a another watch with a piezo. Hold against watch make sure there is contact and see if its any louder/works if not.... If it is the Piezo. I used a heat gun on the case back after cleaning old stuff off. Then put piezo Seiko 4589.801 (available from Cousins) on with tweezers glue side down and added some more heat and left it to cool. Refitted and all working.

  12. Check out the following Image I took when I worked on that 7T32: The small golden (copper) fork in the center area, in the middle of the two coils, is what they are referring to. This is slightly bent upwards, so when the casebakc is fitted, it will make contack with the piezo-electric disc glued to it. You should be able to see the marks on the disc made by the "fork" on the outer diameter of the disc. But honestly, I believe the issue is not mechanical (bad contact of the buzzer lead terminal - that's its name). I have hade a few 7t32 and 7t34s withe the same issue, and even if the alarm was working properly, I could only hear an extremely faint "bip" when engaged. This is probably due to the piezo-electric disc. Which btw is not so easy to replace.

  14. Is there a chat section entitled "Freedom of Speech In the Western World" and one about "Why I fought For my Country's Ideals"? Meant light heartedly JDM, but we are only "chatting".

  15. That's the hard way... The trick with these is to free the middle tab from the retaining slot and then hinge the clip up with the two end tabs still located. The jewel can then be removed, cleaned, and replaced without the clip ever leaving the plate. I probably haven't described this very well but if you google Seiko Diafix, or have a look here; https://adventuresinamateurwatchfettling.wordpress.com/2016/04/30/hidden-depths-a-seikomatic-r-from-1966/ you will see what I mean. Incidentally Martin's blog is an excellent read, especially if you have an interest in vintage Seiko.

  18. the vest; don't wear mine much any more, but have a gold "double breasted" rig, complete with a fob and a $5 gold coin. jeans are the thing now. the watch pocket must be big enough for the watch to be pulled out "without a strain" on the bail. vin

  19. Have a very close look with a loupe at the joint where the last two serial numbers are, you may find the notch that you are looking for. Remember it will possibly be full of detritus. I have both the tools illustrated in the this post, but would still recommend the method I mentioned earlier.
