seiko 1582


Recommended Posts

Hey guys

Working on this seiko cal 1582 its a automatic but i wanted it to wind by hand as well. Is this possible?

Please check pics

!st photo show the keyless gear set correct to wind manual.

2nd i add bridge to hold in position. 

3rd after i pull stem to move to hand setting position

4th check position of clutch and setting pointer (the thing that moves the clutch lever)

5th i push stem back in to winding position check position of pointy thing and clutch this is not right to wind.

6th arrow pointing down is at the notch it needs to be in for me to wind it.

stem will not go in any further, the only way i can get it in the notch is by forcing it there by hand.

Any suggestions of were i am going wrong?

cheers

gary

This movement partly reminds me of an ORIENT calibre I'm just servicing and it can't be wound manually. Wouldn't a winding pinion be a requirement for manual winding? Can't see any in your pictures. :unsure: Still, the clutch wheel sort of looks like it is designed for a winding pinion?

    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  out of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years ago and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic. 
    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.
    • Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was. 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  It would be nice if you told us a little about yourself.
