Seiko movement holders


Recommended Posts

Good morning, I hope everyone is staying as well as possible. :unsure:  I am currently working on a 6138-0040 watch and I’m looking for a one piece Movement holder. I’ve seen a few on eBay that are supposed to be for 6139’s  but the seller thinks the ‘38’s should fit as well. On the reference sheets for the 6138 it mentions that Seiko had a movement holder for a 6139 that could be modified for the other but that would it would be impossible to use for the ‘39’s again. That doesn’t matter to me, I guess what I’m asking in this long drawn out message is:  has anyone out there done this?  Scrapping off the dowels on the holder ( of course I mean any holder). 
thanks in advance!

    • Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍

    • For clarity and ease of testing, I redid that diagram, flipping the circuit to match the layout of the physical watch.
    • Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe
    • It's a little circlip style retaining clip to keep the pinion from riding up out of position.
