Seiko 7T62-0KB0 bezel mounted glass refit help required.


Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a seiko 7T62 and the bezel is off the watch I sourced. Correct bezel gasket 86583460 but I have crushed it while trying to fit, does anyone know about fitting these bezels i have got replacement gasket but worried about ruining another one.


1 Do you fit gasket to  the tachymeter bezel then try press fit ?
or
2 Do gasket put gasket in the case then press fit the bezel into it ?

Any help or advice appreciated. Anyone ?

As jdm remarked fit the gasket into the case (chamfer side up) make sure it is seated, What I do is moisten the edge of the glass and fit it square on the gasket in the case and apply the press slowly checking the fit and there is no possibility of crimping.       all the best.

Hi Watchweasol thanks for the assistance the glass is bezel mounted so already installed as  in the picture above the problem is that the tachymeter ring then sits in a gasket in the case so metal to metal with gasket in between but from both your remarks ill fit gasket into case then fit metal bezel \ tachmeter ring.

thank you for replying and your assistance

    • That's a good idea - shrinking down the nut and wrench size from the old casebook trick!
    • I missed this earlier. The dial isn't going into the holder, it should sit proud of it. This is what I am currently using which I print for each different movement.    
    • I didn't think pulling to set position would work harden the spring, in that position it is stressed where the arm starts. By work hardening i meant rapid polishing at that point, a bit like polishing a pivot work hardens as it compresses the steel. I doubt polishing by hand would achieve much in that respect though. Its finished, arm polished up mostly at the join to the bridge's main body. I'm ok with it, the screw holes aren't great as i had to open them up by redrilling and positioning it was difficult, I'm not much use with a loupe, opening up with a file might be a better option for me or i could just use the correct drill size 😅. And the detent is way too deep, i had to guess that with the stem release out of position and sat on top, but i only took one measure and went for it, no slowly slowly catch your monkey 😅. First go I'm happy , well sort of, it works and thats a big thing for me, next one will have a bit more finesse.  Anyone thats interested, after filing, i used a 2000 grade home made diamond  micro file and then 20 micron film, the film is much better than wet and dry, more stable to use and doesn't shed cheap grade grit everywhere , then auto polish on a sponge pad.
    • I'm assuming that every time you set the watch you are work hardening the detent spring, maximum hardening is  where it meets the plate due to maximum deflection.   That's why it snaps there.  The Young's modulus may be the same but after it's reached its maximum yeid strength it breaks.  My mechanic engineering is very rusty, correct me if I'm wrong. 
    • Ah ok yes that makes sense to polish it where the arm starts to form from the body of the bridge, i thought you meant the underneath of all the arm.
