my name is ken and i,m going to attempt to clean a seiko automatic 7006.A. To let you know i,m just a beginner. The winder rotter is off if that's what you call it.

i'm going to clean it in distilled water and a drop of dish soap and rinse the parts in Isopropyl Alcohol.

Thanks Ken!

Hi Ken, before you proceed I suggest you do some research on cleaning watches. Water is a bad idea for watches. There are lots of posts here on cleaning methods and what to use.

Enjoy the forum.

      Hello all.

      Hello everyone from Idaho. I started up the hobby about two years ago and love it. My latest repair, that I'm very proud of, is an Oris big crown pointer date 7400B. I'm excited to learn and to help out where I can.

      Bezel for 1954 Rolex 6581 Oyster Perpetual

      An update... I bought some 316 steel washers from McMaster Carr. For days I have been turning it to get to what you see in the image.  it is not done, of course.  the inside diameter of the top as shown is close. The washer is too thick, so I am gonna need to figure a way to make it thinner. Last week I had a long talk on the phone with @SwissSeiko and got some tips. He suggested Harbor Freight insertable carbide cutters. Wow, they work well. Miles to go before I sleep. Here is my setup

      Plastic gasket for Citizen case back.

      By Kab · Posted

      Hello all.  I've been working on a Citizen H145-S073545 radio controlled. There was a plastic gasket in between the case and case back. Putting it back together I used a press, witch I think was a mistake, because it cut the gasket open. I've been looking online for a replacement but not having much luck. I've tried a couple crysta gaskets but that didn't work.  Any ideas of where to find these gaskets? Thanks all.

      Loose pinion

      By mbwatch · Posted

      Yes I think blue thread locker would help you out here. You will lose the safety mechanism if the mainspring snaps, which risks damage to train wheel teeth. But your watch might run. You can maybe try inserting a hair inside the pinion and threading it on. That might give it just enough to grab hold without thread locker. Or a tiny piece of superfine copper wire, a strand from some stranded electronics wire.
