Tips for my 7002-7009

Hi all.  I have a 7002-7009 that I bought second hand in 1994 (it was manufactured in 1990). It still works quite well and the exterior is in good shape but to my knowledge it has never been serviced.  I would like to clean it up a bit, replace all the gaskets/seals, and maybe put a stainless bracelet on it and, if I'm going to open it up, maybe a new crystal. What maintenance should I consider performing on it? I live in Tokyo and approached Seiko about servicing it here and they told me the service would cost more than buying a new watch. 

Can you tell me where you are getting parts for yours and maybe direct me to a website for mods for the 7002-7009.  It has the standard 22mm lugs but I am not sure that the seiko jubilee bracelet for the SKX will fit on it.  I would also consider dropping in a new movement but Im not sure if any of the newer seiko movements will fit in my case.  Thanks for any info and directions to online resources.

Basically all parts that fits the SKX007 fits your older diver. That being said I would leave undisturbed and maybe get another one on Yahoo auctions, good deals can be had for as little 15,000 JPY. 

thanks, JDM.   When you said to pick up another one, did you mean another 7002-7009 or were you suggesting I upgrade to and SKX (which I am inclined to do).

There are so many affordable seiko (and other brands) diver's, quartz, automatic, or kinetic. And the dress models are nice too. Being in Japan you can get these without additional purchase and reshipping fees, just choose what makes you happy.,

      TIMEKEEPING PROBLEM: Impact of changing the platform escape wheel on a carriage clock

      By zygo · Posted

      Fast responses - thank you. Yes, I mentioned the 18000bph to illustrate that it's not a matter of touching coils, over banking, shortened hairspring etc. I even took off the platform and temporarily fitted a another NOS one also with 8 leaves and beating 18000 but the colossal gain is the same. I'm resigned to buying and fitting a new Gorge platform plus a 7 leaf pinion escape wheel but only if I think it will work; otherwise it's a waste of £200 and a couple of hours work. Hence the underlying question is: all other things being equal, what would the timekeeping effect be? Is it a simple 7/8ths as fast? Logic tells me it is but can it be that linear?

      Sorry to jump in here guys, but I've read through this whole thread and it seems there are a lot of people who think joining Facebook means everyone will have access to their lives. You could make a Facebook account with a fake name. You could even use your real name if you wanted to and set it to completely private so people can't even find you in a search and you don't have to add anyone as a 'friend', so you won't see anyone's posts. Literally use it to join a group full of members of this site. Admins could even set the group to private and require a password of some sort to gain acceptance into the group, so you can be sure that it's only members of this site that get in. @tomh207 is right, the form with email addresses and names is a bad idea. That will be abused by scrapers. Facebook is only as personal as you let it be. You can be completely anonymous on there if you wish. Don't think of it as Facebook. Just think of it as a watch repair group as that's all you'd use the account for. It doesn't even have to be set up with your current email address. Make a random one on Gmail or any other free provider just for the Facebook account. Tagged you by accident and now it won't let me remove it 😂 @Neverenoughwatches

      Hi I'm a new member.  I recently pulled a Wakmann 8 hour clock out of one of my small airplanes.  My hope is to get it working again.

      Dangerous substances when disassembling timex indigloo?

      By watchAdventures · Posted

      I have a timex urban command (digital watch with indiglo). Are you aware of any dangerous substance or material that I can come in contact with if I disassemble the watch? For example I read that the indigloo is made of luminescent “indium tin oxide” (as reported here https://www.chemeurope.com/en/encyclopedia/Phosphor.html) and that this material can cause irritation to the respiratory tract If inhaled (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indium_tin_oxide). Any other stuff I should be aware of? Thanks in advance for your answers.
