Problem with Seiko Kinetic 5M42-0C99/Hattori YT57 Movement


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I'm almost finished with my watch using the info you all have been so kind to provide me with. I solved the band link problem. Discovered by measuring that the new link had smaller holes than the old one on one side of each end of the link. Took a pin vise and drilled out new one and pressed in the pins w/ a pair of smooth jawed parallel pliers.

Got tired of waiting on an order so I made a set of hand levers that worked great.

During the whole process I discovered the crown had a gasket on the stem section that was deteriorated. I called Cas-Ker and the lady I talked to told me which one to order. Should have paid more attention when the old one came off. It looks like there is room for 3 of the gaskets or she sent one that is a third more narrow than it should be. The next to last picture in HSL's write up(which has been priceless in helping w/ this project) looks like the stem on my watch. It looks to have more than one gasket or a thick one.

Just so you don't have to look back it is a Seiko 5M42-0C99. Also the gasket # she gave me is 0Z0060B01 and oddly enough the small package originally contained 3 gaskets and they had marked over it and made a #1.

Could someone please help with this? Do I need to order 2 more or did she give me the wrong #.  That's the only thing I lack now to have my watch back functioning thanks to all of you who helped me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Last entry if anyone is still watching. Thanks to all of you my Seiko kinetic is back in great condition and running perfectly. I ended up having to replace the capacitor too but thanks to a video by Mark Lovick that was an easy task.

A special "thank you" to HSL and Stuartbaker104 for your extra effort w/o which I couldn't have done this.

All the info you all provided was invaluable to me for this project. I can't thank you all enough.1792819609_SeikoKinetic.JPG.23ec21520e44d9887ca9c8741e65526f.JPG
