Seiko 5 6319-7010 repair

Hi,

I've found my old Seiko 5 and it's looking a bit dishevelled.

I've had it from new in the 70s and it's been sitting in a draw for the past 30 years.

I need the strap replaced, glass, either with the original style or normal? and to get rid of some of the scratches on the body.

Can anyone tell me the best place to go to please. I'm in the Manchester area of the UK.

Thank you

 Is this a usual thing or is it rare that it was done for this model?

It's very usual. All Seiko mechanical have a 2nd language, Spanish is the most common, followed by Arabic.

You should check the watch on a timegrapher or equivalent application. Even if servicing professionally would cost times its value, at least you would know its "health".

FYI that we have a dedicated section for general watch talk like this subject, as well one for new members to introduce themselves.

Hi, I have a pair of these watches, you can buy the proper faceted crystal/glass on eBay but at £34.00 if I remember rightly. I have one with the correct crystal and one with a plain replacement glass, good luck in getting it sorted.

Hi  If you are looking to do it yourself Then cousins uk is the place to start for bits. If you are looking for a repair agent Then go to the British Horological Institutes wab site and look up the list of accredited repair agents that way you are assured of a quality repair.

Hi I Ts,  it isn't that rare but still a nice watch on the wrist, and the 1st watch I disassemble, cleaned and oiled, and reassembled that worked lol. Sometimes they pop up on eBay for about 60quid ish. You need a 16mm strap for it.

    • 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.
