Ok, here goes.

Going to leave measurements here so I don't lose them [emoji4]

Total Inner diameter - 30mm

Depth from caseback rim to dial rim - 6mm

Stem tube tap - 1mm

The caseback is a puzzle.

The ones I have the caseback lip fits inside the case rim. This one is different.

Hi ro63rto,

 

Try a ronda 515 or a 517 if you want also a day. You will need a ring to keep it seated. Plastic works for the ring...I'm a little in a hurry right now but wanted to drop this line before I go. There is also ready made rings that can be customized to fit. Then you will need a fitting dial and hands...plenty of fun ahead!

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

You need to now the high from the dial to the center of the stem . This is called the T . You could measure it if you measure from the point where the dial rest to the center of crown tube . Takes of the dial thickness . Then look if the movement has the same T at http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&0&2uswk.Lot of work i now but there is a help in the advanced to the right .

    • H Watch Repairers—is there is a ‘standard format’ for the service marks or codes lightly engraved inside cases of pocket watches or wristwatches?   Sometimes I can see there might be a reference to year/ month but other times am confused. I’ve included an image of the rear of a 1951 Hamilton 992B Railroad pocket watch as an example. Thank you for all information you can give, Mike
    • Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike
    • yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here  
    • RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
    • The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.
