Hi JF   If you want tech sheets etc there are so many,   watches old and new that to cover all of them would be nigh on impossible. I have quite a collection in PDF format spread over three laptops if you are looking for a specific one on a watch you are working on just post the information  ie....   make of watch and calibre number and a picture or two on the movement   there are a lot of members with a lot of information just ask.  For a general appraisal of watch movements  use Dr Roland Ranfft's web site.   most usefull.      cheers

Makes a lot of sense. I noticed even though there is a vast majority of manufacturers out there most are built upon a few similar movements. Unless its something very special than they are different.. I’ll definitely message you with a few movements of mine that I’m having trouble fixing.

Greetings all!  Trying to make use of the quarantine time!  I’m in desperate need of a 5126 or 5106 repair manual or even an exploded view. I had purchased a partial movement to repair/complete a watch from another find; all was going well until I realized there was an extra part on the bench that I didn’t remember taking out. After that everything snowballed. Springs and screws mutinied and jumped ship and pieces that fit well before now refused. I’ve miraculously retrieved everything that flew but am still a little stymied. Help?

Always helpful to give  a little more information like  company name?

So one way to find tech sheets is just to do a search online.. Then you find things like the discussion at the first link where they explain why you're not getting a service manual.  Looks like to get the  parts list you do need to join the group but if you're servicing Seiko is well worth it.

Or it go to places like cousins and  sometimes they might have which are seeking  so I have a link for that..

Then if you're also looking for tech sheets the third link is rather nice.

So no tech manual appears to be available the parts lists are and I've attached those.

    • that band is old as stated, there is a kit that pops up from time to time on selling sites for the repair of these type bands, some of this type are adjustable on a few links, one adjustable type allows you to align the round opening in the expansion slit [like yours] with the rivet to separate, but if yours won't come out then the rivet head is too big and will have to be done with some rivet removal and replacement, I suppose if you could make/optain the correct rivets that one could alter the said band, the tops/caps do lift off after raising the tabs....  
    • This is a watch from a friend who sent it to a neighborhood watchmaker for a battery change. It came back with the watch stem in a ziplock bag and the dial skewed 20°. The watchmaker told him that the stem was faulty and the watch cannot be repaired. I opened up the watch and found that one dial foot was broken off and still stuck in the movement, while the other was bent until it was flat against the dial. The stem could be inserted but it couldn't be pulled out to quickset and time adjusting positions. I did a full disassemble, cleaned and oiled the movement. But when it put in the battery, the second hand runs super fast. Like it gains 30 mins every hour. Any advice on fixing this problem? TIA.
    • I determined that the balance staff is rotating, not the roller table, so my second attempt at riveting was unsuccessful. I have ordered a new balance staff and will take measurements when it arrives. The balance staff i originally ordered (and now reordered) was specified as: Replacement balance staff: (A. Schild Caliber 984 1002 1021 1124 Original Balance Staff Part 723) so it should be correct. Measurements: (see pic below for terminology) xxxyy is a place holder until the new balance staff arrives. Lower pivot: Old - .08 mm New - xxxyy Lower pivot to balance seat: Old - 1.53 mm New - xxxyy Roller shoulder: Old - .42 mm New - xxxyy Hub: Old - xxxyy New - xxxyy Balance shoulder: Old - .86 mm New - xxxyy Collet shoulder: Old - .56 mm New - xxxyy Upper pivot: Old - broken New - xxxyy
    • Hello and welcome from Leeds.  We're here to help. 
    • I was just about to adk that, probably they have unnecessary waiting lists to make their watches appear more exclusive than they actually are.
