Vintage Seiko faceted crystals????


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I can source a faceted crystal for my soon-to-arrive Seiko Lordmatic 5606-7360??? I'm up for the challenge of trying to buff our the scratches on the existing crystal, but because it IS faceted that may prove to be a fools errand for a novice like myself. Does anyone know somewhere other than ebay that a guy can find this?

Unfortunately is not like there is secret place to get obsolete Seiko parts. We know the same sources as everybody else does, these you can count with less than an hand. If you can get to know the SN use Google search. You can also look or ask on SCWF (thewatchsite.com)

Boley just lists it, as they do with most parts. When you have an account with them (not immediate, as they supposedly don't sell to individuals) for each item there is a traffic light and price. In this case the light is yellow which means practically unavailable, and there is no price.

Seiko part number is 290W10GC0F if this helps.

JulesBorel appear to stock it... http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=SEK_CS^5606-7360

Boley also https://www.boley.de/en/case-parts/seiko/17491.5606-7360?p=199&s=50&l=18

Worth contacting both of them.

 

Thank you JBerry!! I will reach out and see what turns up.

So looks like the item is discontinued as suspected. Would you happen to know the thickness of the crystal? Esslinger has a bunch of crystals that will work for the 29mm diameter, i just want to make sure i'm getting the thickness close. Thanks again for your help!

I wouldn't know sorry, do you have a micrometer or caliper you can use to measure?

Does anyone on this forum have access to Boley parts?

    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  out of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years ago and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic. 
    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.
    • Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was. 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  It would be nice if you told us a little about yourself.
