Hi all.

I am doing a refurb of my sons Seiko and it has a few issues that need replacement parts. This is a bit of a long shot, but I am trying to source a replacement crystal for it as his is quite badly scratched. It would be nice to have an original Seiko part, which I think is a low-domed Hardlex, but I but I don’t know where I might source one. Or is the only option now (it’s a 2006 watch) a generic replacement?

Also the clasp is broken and as it’s an integrated bracelet, I am having trouble finding spares for it. Again, anyone have any hints as to where spares might be found?

the watch itself is fine, just needs a new battery and reseal, but a quick trawl around eBay is not giving much in the way of results on spares. Anyone know of a source of spare part information for these older Seikos?

Mine is the black dialed version, but in all other respects is the same watch.

Happy New Year to all here.

Even if badly scratched an hardlex crystal can be polished perfectly, there are many topics on the subject. Crystal P/N is 330PA2HN02. There is no magic place to source parts, all you can do is search on the Internet.

Hi, and thanks for the reply. I know there in no magic Santa sack of bits, but I also know, that other people sometimes know more than I do about where some of them may yet be found. I will certainly have a look at how to refinish a Hardex as a first base, thanks for the tip.

Hi   you could try the SCWF site which is exclusively seiko citizen watches. I have attached three tech docs apertaining to the 7T92 which may be some use to you.

7630_Seiko 7T62A, 7T92A, 7T94A Part 1 of 3.pdf 796.35 kB · 1 download 7631_Seiko 7T62A, 7T92A, 7T94A Part 2 of 3.pdf 666.53 kB · 1 download 7632_Seiko 7T62A, 7T92A, 7T94A Part 3 of 3.pdf 825.18 kB · 1 download

Excellent, and thank you for the docs. Once the Xmas “cheer” has worn off a bit, I may even be tempted to have a go at a clean and re-lube. Done a few manuals but not tried a quartz yet as I have never had one that was worth the time and effort.

Best wishes for 2020.

George.

I have seen domed sapphire crystals on alixepress. Truth is, polishing takes time and a bit of equipment, which can be avoided in many cases. 

I agree. Having now looked at the process for Hardlex, it seems a lot of work and not by any means, always good results. I think I’ll just take out the old one and measure it to see what replacements I can find.

cheers and thanks for the replies.

George

      Chronograph Pusher Rod for EB8371-67 Snapped and Stuck in Button. Can't Unscrew.

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi. Yes I get it , the slot in the end I’d to allow you to screw the button on whilst holding the pusher shaft. To remove the pusher tube you will need a tool such as the one shown by Richard. I think Ali Express the Chinese Amazon has replicas of the Horotec system for a lot less money, how effective they are not having had to use one. But as you said the way to go is complete removal and replacement, bodging it up will  lead to a repeat failure

      30T2 adjustment of timing washers

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      One of the things that I've been bothered with lately is timekeeping? For instance a 90-year-old pocket watch what so to timekeeping was it supposed to keep? They publish railroad timekeeping but I don't know how well normal non-railroad watches were supposed to keep time. The reason why the question comes up for me is I spend a lot of time at work adjusting watches to keep really really good time  because I have to please my boss where as when the watch was made I have to wonder what kind timekeeping would've been acceptable. After all they typically didn't have timing machines 100 years ago and they were timing and six positions certainly not for the non-railroad grade watch. On the other hand I do get paid by the hour so maybe I shouldn't be concerned of how much time I Spend trying to make everything keep chronometer timekeeping almost. Citing a Delta of 40 seconds for a 90-year-old watch is quite outstanding.

      Is this pallet fork over-locking?

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      That's an interesting question which I don't think I've seen explained anywhere. But I think the problem will go away just about instantaneously. In other words the  coating is really thin and it should go away almost immediately. So the problem should resolve itself extremely fast.

      By VWatchie · Posted

      I experienced that different types of shellac and their ages are affected differently by IPA. Sometimes the shellac dissolves in a few seconds and sometimes several minutes are required. Nowadays I never let shellac come into contact with IPA. It's a hotly debated topic here on WRT if you search. Like John, I don't think you need to worry about the weight of the shellac, but instead that it might start rubbing against something. When I learned how to adjust pallet stones, I tried documenting my experiences in this thread. Hopefully, it can help you. I personally don't believe in the idea of abrading the epilame before oiling so I don't think you need to think or worry about it. The only time I've heard anyone mention this is Alex on the YouTube channel Watch Repair Tutorials but actually no one else. I'm not saying it's "wrong" just that I don't think it's necessary or adds anything.
