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:

    • 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  
    • Get someone local to tig it ,very easy fix and should only take a few minutes so probably wouldn’t cost much ,or failing that get it very clean and silver solder it. Dell
    • Hi, The winding pin is not split, well that's how it was when I obtained the watch. The movement is front-loaded and here's a picture of where the case screws are fitted. The face picture is before I dismantled it.
    • I dont think mine is. Its an idea to have them all in one place if possible, then a quick screenshot will have them saved. Unless anyone has any other ideas of how to reconnect 
    • My email address is in my profile, feel free all to drop me a quick hello.
