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

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?

      Gilding after silver soldering

      By AlanB · Posted

      When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

      By JonC · Posted

      Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon

      Roamer Searock Crystal problem

      By Zedster · Posted

      According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb

      Dial feet removal

      By JonC · Posted

      When building a new Watch I have tended to use a file to remove the remnants of dial feet that are not needed as many dials come with four feet to accomodate different movements, but this can be a bit messy so now I use this with a great deal more precision as you can use an appropriate bit for the job and keep it very localised.
