Seiko 66-9990 access to movement

Recommended Posts

I've got this 1963 Seiko 66. Not worked on one of these before. Can anyone advise how I get the movement out please?

I have removed the bezel and it started to run, probably because the bent second hand was stuck, which is promising.

It doesn't look like the back comes off but I'm not sure?  Does the crown and stem pull out or unscrew?

Any help appreciated.

If you haven't work on a 66 previously, remember when disassembling it that there's a tiny washer between the 4th wheel and the center wheel bridge. It can be easily forgotten and get lost in the ultrasonic or in the cleaning process.

    • Hi can someone tell me where a can buy this chart for breguet hairspring frequency?
    • OK Rich, may be You are just a little bit more worried than really needed. Who am I to say, jus a newbie here but... Such a big forum will not collapse in any case, exept if the people loose their interest to participate. If something happens to the owner,  then senior members will be able to handle the forum. Let me show an example where one of the moderators of the russian forum (thow He was not russian), a man of great knowlage abd big heart, passed away in 2023. Thow His personal site is still working, the russians coppied the whole site to safe place here. I mean, all depends on the people and if they need to do something, they will find the way. Actually, the forum is place where people can meet and share. As a final measure, people can share their phone numbers and use Viber to comunicate, at least people who are interested to keep connection between each other.
    • Since I couldn't slow the machine down enough for my liking, I started off slowly with a higher grit.  I began (very lightly) with 1000 grit paper: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DTJBND1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Finished with 3000 grit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DTFSMT1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Afterwards I went on to polish with traditional methods using felt & cotton wheels, with different grades of Dialux. Hope this helps.
    • Ok so there is barely any response happening . After this last attempt i think I'm just going to give up on it because very few seem genuinely interested or even bothered or worried what may happen in the future. ( if someone can set me straight I'd love to hear it ) I would think anyone into watches has heard of Roland Ranfft, how they grew to love and depend upon his site for detailed information. And not just that, he also had a view about Ebay and everyone that visited Roland's site knew exactly what he thought about Ebay, Roland's site also had a secondhand watch sale side to it.  If anyone here could have done anything to preserve his site and keep it exactly the way it was.........Would you have done something to make that happen ?  Its been pointed out to me but not in so many words  that I'm probably coming across as an insensitive p.rick, truly I'm sorry about that, i say it as it is but no malice is intended and yes clearly I'm putting my forum membership on the line here. I'll happily shut up about it now, I've done all i can.
    • Thank you so much for posting this!  Although this movement is serviceable, there are no service notes that I've been able to find.  This is a great alternative!
