Anyone familiar with Seiko 5J32A movement? Apologies if this is not the correct place to post this. The movement has been stripped down, cleaned and I'm reassembling now. Installing the train wheel bridge goes without issue but after a lot of trials I have this issues.. when the crown is pu...

Hi everyone ! I recently acquired a vintage Seiko 5 7009-316A, which I’ve restored and serviced, including the restoration and repainting of the hands.This watch is quite unique in my opinion, as it features a bezel design painted directly onto the crystal. Unfortunately, during the...

I've posted on this issue before, but because it has been a long time, I'll start over. After adding the dial/hands/movement into case, the last step is inserting the stem into the movement. However, the stem keeps pulling out when setting the time. I make sure the set lever is in the mainspring win...

Hello everyone. I am servicing several models with the 613X caliber and have had some issues with the disassembly and reassembly of the Diashock system. My question is the following: are all Diashocks the same size? Can I take one from another caliber and use it here? It seems like an interesting op... -
Hello, I’m stuck with my 7S26 rotor screw, it just wont come loose and I dont want force it. I’ve heard that the usuall problem with these is that they tend to come loose on their own, but mine is stuck. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Hi everyone I got this vintage Seiko stopwatch from an antique shop and I'm in the process to restore it. I'm struggling to remove the hands. I tried a few times with strong lifting levers, but stopped because it was at a point that something would break. The hands are very hard ste...

Hi, it's my first post here in watchrepairtalk. I'm trying to get a Seiko 4336 quartz working again and having trouble with the date setting mechanism. Although this is a quartz watch I believe the parts are similar to mechanical Seikos of the 70s era. I'm sorry I don't know the part names...

So I was disassembling the Seiko 6349 movement to clean it and oil it and noticed this jewel looks to be in bad shape. I haven't cleaned this bridge yet, but this jewel looks nasty. Could this just be oil residues? Or it's really scratched? By what?

Hello all, I am a novice at tinkering. I’ve built and modded a few seiko skx’s and have really enjoyed them. That being said, I’m stumped. After replacing the crystal with a flat sapphire one and regulating the time over the weekend, as it was about six minutes fast per day, I now have a stuck... -
Hi, I am looking for some Seiko Diafix cap stones. Managed to play tiddlywinks with one. Seiko part number 011221 -
Hi there, first time for me to ask for help since I joined the forum. I’m working on a Seiko 6138-0040 for a friend. I’ve already done a few 6138B’s, so not completely new to me. This one is a bit different, with lots of gremlins. Sheared off dial feet screw, case back ring missing, movement glued i...

Hello all, I had recently opened up an old Seiko from 1997 I got to change the battery, well I opened it up put the battery in and nothing works still (yes it is the right size battery). The movement looks fried and I think I need to get a whole new movement for the thing. My question is, what type...

Hi, I recently got myself a Seiko Lord Matic 5606. As the time of writing this, it has not arrived yet. Anyway, I am wondering how to open the case for the Lord Matic since you can only access movement by opening through crystal. I am completely new to the world of watch repair, so... -
I recently bought a Seiko 5 7009 which turned out to only run intermittently. After taking it apart and giving it a clean I went to reassemble but struggled to get the escape wheel and pinion to sit between the jewels. I think it looks like it might be slightly damaged at the top and was wondering i...

Christmas has come early, just received a brand new Timegrapher 1900 (cause I've been a good boy and have only used naughty words 99 times a day instead of the usual 200+). Have been looking for lift angles of various Seiko movements but the links to lists have dried up, any one out there have these...

Good day all, I'm looking for a user manual (not tech manual) for a Seiko 7009 the little ones that you usually get in the watch box, ideally in pdf format. I have looked but cannot find on line. I want to give these out with my refurbished 7009s as I repeatedly get calls (sometimes from the same pe...

Hi everyone, I have a Seiko SNL001 7L22-0AA0 I removed and replaced the stem and it stopped ticking when back in. what have I done?

Hi!! I recently got myself a Seiko Lord Marvel with the Caliber 5740C. Right after getting it, I took a timegrapher reading through Tg and manual calculation through Audacity. I measured the amplitude of it to be about 140 degree (assuming lift angle to be 53 degree.) I thought the low amplitud...

Greetings all, I have a question about a ladies Seiko I am working on (Cal. 11A), it has a horrible plastic stem seal that badly needs replaced. Does anyone know where I would get such a thing? Here is an image of the type of seal I am talking about: PS I know the picture is of a...a.jpg.b78f9c3f5b2966b8cbb696edbb678cf4.jpg)

My buddy Ed wanted a black dial watch. Since we are not the sort that would be able to afford a thousands of dollars or tens of thousands of dollars watch. We thought to get some Musou paint and try to whack something out. I think it turned out pretty nice. -
Hello All. I'm a fellow watch enthusiast from the North-East of England. I hope everyone is keeping well. I recently bought myself a cheap watch repair kit, dusted off the old watch storage box and started to giving my watches the attention they required, it's been going quite well so far...

Hello everyone, I'm trying to restore my father's old Seiko 2260-5510 quartz. I'm not really skilled on Seiko and I'm not able to find any info on bezel and case-back gaskets (they are shaped). They really need to be substituted. Where can I find parts numbers? Are there any catalogue onli... -
Hi all, If anybody could help me with pointing me to the right site where I could download a Technical repair guide for the Seiko quartz 6N52, I would very appreciate it. I need to find a stem for this type of watch, but unfortunatelly when I bought it on Cousins UK, as it stated under the desc... -
So I picked up a mid-1970s Seiko 7006-8007 to learn about vintage Seiko movements. The movement is working but poorly (perfect for learning how to service), but the case is really worn. i know all of the bulovas I’ve worked on were either SS or 10k RGP over brass. Does anyone know what process...

Greetings all, I am restoring a Seiko Lord Matic (5206A) and have a question about the automatic works rotor. When I opened up the watch the rotor was very loose and (fortunately) this was due to it not being screwed on very tight and not a bearing problem and I removed it with a few turns usin...
