Need replacement seiko dial


Recommended Posts

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

    • Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?    
    • Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank     
    • It was £10 + min fee, total £16, could not leave it there. Its a Stanton A.D.2. http://stanton-instruments.co.uk/
    • Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes. 
    • So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray
