Seiko 7009A repair


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I'm a novice to watchmaking, and was hoping for some advice about potentially repairing my first movement, a Seiko 7009A.

The picture below shows the parts of interest, the barrel and train wheel bridge, and what I think is a part that should be a 'press fit' into the bridge (not sure what name to give this part).  The parts diagram for the movement suggests that the two parts are in fact single item (112 143).

I recognise that an option here would be to source a new barrel and train wheel bridge, but was wondering whether the existing parts could be repaired.  I'm guessing that I'd have to find a way to reduce the diameter of the hole in the bridge,and so allow of an interference fit, but welcome suggestions.

Any help or advice would be gratefully received, many thanks!

Mark.

It will take some force, but you can try pressing around the hole, by impact or with a press, so to create some some friction. However the complete mov't are available for very cheap and would give many more spare parts, so I think that is the best and sure way.

    • Mark keeps a close eye on his forum. I'm sure if you asked him he will reply, he might not do it right away but you will receive his answer.  
    • I kind of think the same, the surface under the oil is the same as the surface around the oil. Can epilame both repel and attract , that doesn't quite make sense in simple terms, but is it more complicated than that. When cohesive forces within a liquid are stronger than the adhesive forces of a surface then surface tension is high causing the liquid to bead up. So  an applied epilame coating reduces the adhesive force of a surface inhibiting a fluid to wet the surface. So i guess no epilame cannot both repel and attract . If something is keeping the oil in place on top of an epilamed surface then there must be another reason for that.
    • I agree with @JohnR725. Oil on an epilamed surface is essentially the same as water on a waxed surface. The same physical properties are at work (surface tension vs. adhesion). 
    • I think we all get a lot out of this group, and it has been pivotal in my development by the sharing of knowledge, experience and learning from more seasoned experts such as @JohnR725 and others (you know who you are!) as well as fellow novices. I think that having a backup communication plan in reserve so that if there is a future problem just makes good sense. I don't think anyone is trying to undermine the forum, but if something unthinkable happens, like the Ranfft website for example, then it would be good if those who are willing can still keep in contact. Speaking personally, and I know I risk a charge of heresy, it would be good if Mark could be a little more visible in this forum, and maybe give any insight from time to time on the future/progress of forum and instructional videos etc. even if its just to confirm the status quo. I appreciate he is a busy man with a full time job, but so are most of the rest of us and to post a few lines every now and then shouldn't be too much to ask to reassure the restless villagers. Best outcome for me would be a message saying something along the lines of: "Hi guys, all good, no planned changes... enjoy the forum, will message again next month!" Just my two cents.
    • A nice looking watch !! Did you try 9010, instead of the 9415, on the pallet jewels / escape wheel? And if you did, did you notice a difference?
