Seiko HI-Beat certified chrono movment


Recommended Posts

I have just the case, dial, crown and stem, missing the rest. Hi Beat movement calib 5626-5020 originally came in it. My questions are.

1- Would other series of calib 5626 fit in it ?  I don,t want to break dial feets.

2- How much you think this would be appraised, with good movement and without?

3- How much should I put in it, movement and all.

4- Is this rare and collectable?

It looks better in person than in picture. 

I have got 20 or so seiko, but I am not a seiko man,  rather more like meat and potato man.:lol:

Regards

Correction calib 5626-5099. There sre so many.

Sure looks like a 5626-5090 from somewhere 1975-1976 can't see the serial number clearly..
I haven't seen many of these so it might be rare but in mint condition these should fetch around 200-300$ since it isn't the popular "King Seiko". 
Unfortunately I haven't fitted any movement in one of these cases...
Since I collect anything with a movement in it I would say ..yes it's collectible.

Not much worth is it, you meant 200 to 300 USD  complete as watch.

   I ,ll check the calib and serial No.  Thanks HSL

That’ll make a lovely watch. Good luck with it and finding the parts you need.

Post some pics if and when you get it done.

looks like I am going to need lots of good luck to find a chronometer grade movement.:lol:

    • Here is the insert ring for rectangular or elliptical movements: Note that the length is the side with the stem cut out on the spreadsheet (in the picture below this is 15.15: Here is the fake pdf file, again you need to convert to .zip after download to access the FreeCAD and 3mf files.

    • as you took the mainspring out what did it look like? It's amazing how much amplitude you can get if the mainspring actually has the proper shape. last week I was doing a 12 size Hamilton and was very much surprised with the beautiful back curvature the mainspring had. Then the watch had a really nice amplitude the group would be so proud it was 350 until I dropped the lift angle down to 38 that drop the amplitude quite a bit below 300. then with the beautiful back curve it still had really nice amplitude the next day. I really wish all my mainspring's look like this as the watch had beautiful amplitude the next day. So many of the aftermarket pocketwatch Springs I see now do not have anything resembling a back curve may be a slight curve and that's about all. They still work but they just don't work as nice as a properly made spring. then Omega as all sorts of nifty technical documentation unfortunately every single corner is watermarked with where it came from who downloaded it etc. very paranoid company. On the other hand I will snip out images like from the document on recycling a mainspring barrel. for instance here's the section on what your mainspring should look like. water damaged a lot of times means rust was there rust on this watch?
    • I dont understand why a patreon membership would have limited places ??
    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. It’s highly unlikely you will be able to purchase a new bezel look on eBay for a pulsar watch for repair to find a bezel.
