hi again 

I got this seiko 7s26 of eBay spares and repairs and manged to fix it 

The only thing is the Dial is badly scratched and has a circle scratch in the light where the hands where crushed 

I manged to cover the main scratch with a blue pen but it's to dark 

My eyes are like super good 

So I really notice even the blue is wrong 

Can anybody point me to this dial for sale anywhere 

Cheers

I really want the same dial that bad 

I absolutely love the watch and the dial is what makes it for me 

 

I brought a green military Dial and some new hands but don't want to use the dial it just won't suit it at all after how good the watch looks now

Looks like you've got a 7S26-0020, that is an SKX007 / SKX009 "true" diver, which the Pepsi version has the last 20 minutes colored differently on the rotating bezel, to hint about usable air range. Needless to say, a colored range on dial doesn't really have a function on a diver or not, it's purely aesthetic on the so-called "speed racer" models.

Suggest that you look some of the million pictures about your watch in it's original form, which in my opinion looks superb in either black or Pepsi variations. Parts to restore it can be easily found.

Otherwise a brand new SNKK27 is just $64.30 on Amazon.

Hi    Thats a cracking watch, pity about the dial, Myself I would try a better repair check through artists colour charts and maybe by mixing colours you can get a close enough match. If that fails then by all means continue the search.  I like to keep watches and clocks as original as poss not always succesfull

I want the Watch to stay as is just with the same dial in good condition 

The pics really don't do it justice when it's on your wrist it's amazing 

The photo is what it was like when I got it broken

 

If anybody knows if you can get the same dial on its own that would be great if I have to buy the same watch then I might do in time 

 

Also if my eyes where bad then it might not effect me. But my eyes are just drawn to the damage

      Setting lever spring

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      I'm assuming that every time you set the watch you are work hardening the detent spring, maximum hardening is  where it meets the plate due to maximum deflection.   That's why it snaps there.  The Young's modulus may be the same but after it's reached its maximum yeid strength it breaks.  My mechanic engineering is very rusty, correct me if I'm wrong.

      Ah ok yes that makes sense to polish it where the arm starts to form from the body of the bridge, i thought you meant the underneath of all the arm.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      this is something I've never quite understood about the some of the Swiss companies. In 1957 Omega was using 9010 for the keyless parts with epilam. there's been a slow migration towards using heavier lubrication's but still typically oils and epilam to keep them in place. When it seems like 9504 works so much better.

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      OK, welcome in the world of alarm clocks... I guess the 4th wheel is dished because it is from another movement. If it was not dishet, then it would not mesh with the pinion of the escape wheel, am I right? The marks of wear on the 4th wheel pinion doesn't corespond to the 3th wheel table position, at list this is what i see on the picts. Calculating the rate is easy - there is a formula - BR = T2 x T3 x T4 x T5 x 2 /(P3 x P4 x P5) where T2 - T5 are the counts of the teeth of the wheels tables, and P3 - P5 are the counts of the pinion leaves. Vibrating the balance is easy - grasp for the hairspring where it should stay in the regulator with tweasers, let the balance hang on the hairspring while the downside staff tip rests on glass surface. Then make the balance oscillate and use timer to measure the time for let say 50 oscillations, or count the oscillations for let say 30 seconds. You must do the free oscillations test to check the balance staff tips and the cone cup bearings for wear. This kind of staffs wear and need resharpening to restore the normal function of the balance.

      Any tips to correct a sloppy error?

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      Glue a nut to the barrel lid, insert a bolt, pull, disolve the glue.  Maybe someone will have a better answer.
