Seiko 7s26 running at 30 000 bph


DOS0570

Recommended Posts

Hey there,

I have following Issue with my SKX007.

I have replaced the Balance assembley, and it seemed to rung nice. With low Beat error (0.1-0.2ms) and only a few second gain per Day.

But ever so often it jumps to run at between 28000-30000 bph. Losening the Balance Cock, moving it a bit and retightnig it most often solves the Case.

Is it just the Endstones that are dirty? Or may there be another Cause?

 

 

Thanks in advance

How long will it run at 28000 +? a few seconds?

How often does this occur? once a minute? once every 5 minutes?

Does this happen with the mainspring having a few turns of the ratchet wheel or with just minimal mainspring tension?

Unfortunatly I wasn't able to reproduce it yet. Guess its a good thing.

When it occurs, it stays this way, until I manually loosing the balance Cock.

However after inspecting the Haispring again, I found a very small amount of corrosion. I scraped most of it away, and since then I haven't experienced the Issue again. Probably some of the corrosion fell off the spring and got stuck between the Cock and the spring, effectively shortening it.

 

Thank you for your Tips!

There could be many causes or contributing causes. But I have to agree with yankeedog on this one. If the beat changes dramatically and STAYED at that new speed, it is most likely a fowled hairspring. A drop of oil, perhaps? Mark demonstrated this on one of his videos.

I have experimented with a few different things to clean hairsprings.automotive brake cleaner is a mixed bag.one can will leave residue yielding a sticky hair spring.while the next can will not.results with CRC QD electronic cleaner have been pretty consistent.

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
