Seiko 7009A repair

[Emsworthian]

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.

Hi  I think jdm is correct whole movements are available as a whole or part complete for a pound or two and so repairing the origional is really not an option. Better to get the movement and swap the parts.

Many thanks to you both, I will source a new bridge.  The number of 7009a on ebay is staggering!
