Fitting second hand on Seiko 6119A


Lc130

Recommended Posts

Hi All

I'm a beginner.  I've finally competed my Seiko 6119A in a Seiko 5.  I now notice that the second hand tube is quite long.  It's not sliding down the shaft with moderate pressure.  How had should I push?  Is there a trick to this?

Thank you

It shouldn't need much pressure at all to fit it.

If its not going down there must be a reason why.

Has the tube on the hand been damaged or crimped from when you removed it?

Can you fit it with the minute hand removed?

I removed the hour wheel and canon pinion.  The second pivot gets thicker at one point.  I looks like this is where the second hand hangs up.  There are no obvious crimps in the second hand or debris.  If installed this way, the second hand would sit very high.  Not sure if it would hit the crystal.  Any suggestions?

That’s what was on it.  Maybe it was sitting up very high and I didn’t notice.  It wasn’t working when I got it.

I bet, probably hitting the crystal or getting jammed in the cannon pinion!
