Hi,

recently I bought a SEIKO 5 with a 7S26C caliber, then I found the Watch Repair Channel on YouTube, than I found the videos of this channel, which are about exactly THAT movement...and the rest was only another step forward into this forum.

I like to learn about movements in general and especially about the 7S26C.

Cheers! :)

Hi Watchweasol,

ok....exceeding the speed of light when replying to new members first posts quickly will introduce A LOT OF TROUBLE especially to people interesting in accurate time measurement...the flow of time will be reverted...unpredictable....HAHAHAHAAHAHHA ! :) :) :)

Thank you for your helping words, Watchweasol! Previously I have collected the technical datasheet (sorry for my not-so-good wording...I am no native speaker) of the movement (that one which shows the exploded view of all parts), the manual to my watch and some bits and pieces from the internet.

One part of your post I don't understand (sorry)...you wrote:
"Gleave & Co  and Dr Ranfft of germany esslinger USA"...
Is "Gleave & Co" one brand and "Dr Ranfft" another one...and is it member of
"Germay esslinger USA"....? <confused> ... sorry

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Cheers!
mcc

Hi Mcc    Gleave&Co esslinger are watch parts suppliers esslinger being in America, Dr Ranfft is a web site in germany which is a auction house  and also a mine of technical information.  Best to post your questions regarding watches in the watch repair help forum  and clock uestions in the clock corner.

both Gleave and co and Esslinger also have web sites and technical information.  Hope that it explains the previous post. always glad to help.

      Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.

      Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?

      Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross

      Hi all, total newbie to watchmaking and I've had a bit of a mishap. Just completing level 2 and was doing ok, but I was just on the last part of the reassembly of my ST3620 when the balance end stone shot across the room, just as I was trying to see if I had put the correct amount of oil between it and the balance end, aarrrgh! Been on my hands and knees combing the carpet for 20mins looking for it but to no avail. Does anybody know where I can get a replacement from and what to look for please?? Thanks.
