Paulo from Brazil fond of antique watches

Hello dear fellows who share with me this hobby of old timepieces.
I own a Seiko 5 - 6119/7103, a model my father bought when I was five years old. At the time, 1971, he bought from a Japanese seller who visited his potential customers from house to house. On this day, I was present in the living room and witnessed the choice and purchase of the model by my father.
Today, I own an identical copy of this watch, but it lacks the original bracelet. The specimen was bought in the site of purchase and sale (free market) and apparently, is in very good condition, requiring of course a general overhaul.
Follow the clock photo for review and comments.
The bracelet presented is the original and the photo was taken from the internet. If someone has an identical bracelet with the terminals in good condition and wants to sell, I will have interest.
A hug to all friends!

    • Here is the insert ring for rectangular or elliptical movements: Note that the length is the side with the stem cut out on the spreadsheet (in the picture below this is 15.15: Here is the fake pdf file, again you need to convert to .zip after download to access the FreeCAD and 3mf files.

    • as you took the mainspring out what did it look like? It's amazing how much amplitude you can get if the mainspring actually has the proper shape. last week I was doing a 12 size Hamilton and was very much surprised with the beautiful back curvature the mainspring had. Then the watch had a really nice amplitude the group would be so proud it was 350 until I dropped the lift angle down to 38 that drop the amplitude quite a bit below 300. then with the beautiful back curve it still had really nice amplitude the next day. I really wish all my mainspring's look like this as the watch had beautiful amplitude the next day. So many of the aftermarket pocketwatch Springs I see now do not have anything resembling a back curve may be a slight curve and that's about all. They still work but they just don't work as nice as a properly made spring. then Omega as all sorts of nifty technical documentation unfortunately every single corner is watermarked with where it came from who downloaded it etc. very paranoid company. On the other hand I will snip out images like from the document on recycling a mainspring barrel. for instance here's the section on what your mainspring should look like. water damaged a lot of times means rust was there rust on this watch?
    • I dont understand why a patreon membership would have limited places ??
    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. It’s highly unlikely you will be able to purchase a new bezel look on eBay for a pulsar watch for repair to find a bezel.
