This one is lubricated with lard and cooking oil.

Hi cleaning a watch can be done quite easily using Lighter fuel (naptha) or carburetter cleaning fluid both of witch will not leave a residue, using a small artists brush clean and de grease all the parts then re assemble and lubricate, regarding oils you will require several types for the different parts of the watch. Use a small glass jar for the fluid. 7002A tech sheet enclosed 1841_Seiko7002A.pdf

Hi. Just to update you with this. I found the crystal on cousins by chance. I find their search engine to be near useless. Even after finding the part by luck, I entered the cousins part number and it returned ‘no data was found’. I’m confused. However here is the part I found: So all that is required is to order and fit. Kind regards Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It shouldn’t be difficult to get a replacement for that.

Click springs & ratchet wheels are available from Cousins.

Most of the cutting is done and here's the mockup. I cant decide on the stains to use but she's almost done! Hope I dont f**k it up.

You could easly adapt a click spring from any old movement?

I'm ordering a new barrel lid from CousinsUK. That should solve the issue, right? The drive gear is riveted to the lid of the barrel, so yeah that should do it. You could also take a broach or a staking set placed within the gear opening and give it one tap. It usually tightens up enough to drive the hour/minute hand, but loose enough to allow setting the time. J

Cousins sell click springs, but they are easy to make with basic tools if you cant get the right one, the ratchet wheel on the clock you have shown looks worn you can get those from Cousins as well.

It is a public holiday in Western Australia today (WA day), and today was a big day. The BSA in my avatar for the first time in about 5 years I took it for a ride today. When I purchased it, it cosmetically looks pretty good, but mechanically was not so good. I started a ground up restoration on it 5 years ago, but the project stalled a couple of years back due to me not having enough time and some of the engine work I did not feel confident to do. A few months ago my dad mentioned he was looking for a project to give him something to do so I gave him my BSA with the deal I would keep it licensed and pay for any parts needed that I hadn't already purchased and he could finish the restoration and keep the bike to ride until he was bored of it. He got it running a few days ago, so I dropped by today and took it for a ride. I have been looking forward to having that ride for the last 5 years. The bike still needs a little more tweaking before its 100% complete, now my dad is on the hunt for another vintage bike. Shame I had to sell my WM20 project bike a couple of years back. Anyhow, this is how it looks now, not hugely different from before, but mechanically much sounder. I'm sure it will give my dad another few months of fun before he gets bored of it and hands it back.

For 60 I bought this. And I do travel a lot, in Australia right now, from Canada Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
