Hi Guys,

wondering if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction. I have two Seiko watches in need of repair & Seiko can’t do anything with them. 
First one is Seiko Chronograph 7t32 7f80 : two places have told me it’s unresponsive to new battery so possibly needs mechanism replacing - if anyone has any experience with this any help would be appreciated.

Second is Seiko 5 Automatic 6309-5820. This is working perfectly fine, just somehow the Seiko & 5 emblem on the face of watch have came off so are just floating around the face. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated as although they’re not expensive they hold a lot of sentiment.

Thanks

Hi  The seiko 7T32 is a complex beast and is now obsolete the movements are also hard to come by best to look for a donor unit on ebay   Sema use the same movement as does pulsar and epson, But finding then is dificult and if you manage to find one they are not cheap. The 6309 will just want the movement popping out and the logo refitting. The  7t32 may only just want servicing. But check it out as they need the circuit block resetting by connecting  the AC point to the circuit block cover  so I should try a new battery and reset the movement.  If no response then look to replacing the movement .   good luck.                 cheers

Just for you to know. A mechanical watch may appear to work but you won't know it's real "health state" without placing on a timegrapher. And in any case, all mechanical watches need full servicing ever 5 - 10 yrs. Otherwise, you will be running on dry oil, and in the long term damage it's delicate internal parts.

    • I was pleased to pick up a selection of some tools on ebay (v cheap 🤣), and they've just arrived,  I've been looking for a crystal press for a while, and this one is ideal But in the selection is this thing - what is it for?  (it's about 3" long) Something to do with stem tubes?  
    • You'll have to strip it back anyway.
    • I think I've heard that more than from just Alex. That doesn't make it right though, but I'm convinced i saw some literature diagram explaining why to do that. There must be good info here in the archives, I'll have to have a dig around. 
    • That will mean dismantling the gear train, which with 5 pivots to align was a pain. Probably going to have to though. I'm convinced it's something to do with the great wheel. 
    • As far as I know, the only time an epilame treatment has potential drawbacks is when something is rubbing on the treated part w/o lubrication in between creating abrasive dust. That is, I don't believe in the method of "running the watch to make a groove through it first in the pallet stones where the lubrication is then placed". So, I think the rule would be; do not epilame treat parts where rubbing is going on without lubrication. Other than that I don't think we have anything to worry about. That said, I'm not an expert, and I'm always happy to learn more. Has any other repairer than Alex suggested or explained the "making-a-groove" method? My impression is that it's just something he constructed in his mind. I have not perceived it as a generally practiced method. Again, I could be wrong!
