Just a very final mail;  when I tried to register/log in to the site TheWatchSite forum I get the following message....

"You have been banned for the following reason:

No reason was specified.  

Date the ban will be lifted: Never"

 

Can't understand it !!!     So I can't go to the Seiko/Citizen sub-forum.

Hi Bob....from the other Bob,

 

I agree with BL and all the other members' comments/advise. Dial feet are attached with double-sided tape also available for this purpose. Also the VX43 movement requires watch hands: hour 1.10, minute .65, and sweep second .20 mm. The dial feet holes are @1 and @7 ish so they might not align with the original dial and reposition of feet might be required. The overall high of the movement is 4.5 mm but the actual high is 2.92 mm. Question: how do those measurements compare with the original movement (the old one)? This could be a problem...

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

Thanks, Bob.

I think I will be able to adapt for any difference in the hand hole diameters.  But one problem:  I'm having difficulties trying to remove the old Seiko stem 354 022 Tap 10 from the crown.  I need the crown for the new stem 351 177.  It hasn't broken YET.  I tried with WD44 and also boiling water to soften any glue, but it still won't unscrew.  How can I find the part number for the 7009-3140 crown before I break its stem?

 

To your points:  the dial has no feet and I will be able to place the feet anywhere on the dial, after carefully centring the dial an taking regard for the stem at 4 o'clock.

Blacklab:   Thanks for the tip, I'll try and remove the o-ring and acetone the lot (assuming its glue, and not overtightening or rust) !  Where on earth did you find the part no.?  I tried everywhere, and it won't 'Google'!

Hi Bob,

 

Boley has an extensive catalogue of parts by case serial number. Also, what I do after heat, and rust treatment stubborn, rusted crown/stem, I do a quick, light tightening of the crown and immediately unscrew it from the stem. Most of the time it works. Make sure your pin vise is well tightened and on the right spot on the stem (usually not on the thread but immediately after, on the thicker smooth stem but before the machined part).

 

Hope it works,

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

I am sure that there is an error in registering somehow . Google Seikocitizenwatchforum and you will see a registration link . If the problem persists LMK and I will ask one of the moderators if there is a problem . If you do register also LMK . It is a great site for Seiko and Citizen watches with lots of tech references .

Worked a dream, many thanks.  After removing the rubber neck gasket, I 'acetoned' it overnight, chucked it in boiling water for a minute, then - off it screwed with no damage!

By the way, my last attempt resulted in a stem broken off flush with the crown!!  I read about the 1 week's vinegar treatment with scepticism, but it worked!!!      

Thanks for the Boley's tip: Unfortunately, they only sell to the trade.

I tried again, same problem.  Twice I wrote to the Webmaster - no reply.  Just don't understand it.

When I think back about a year ago, I had an altercation with a seemingly arrogant moderator somewhere on the 'net (so it is possibly here).  Perhaps that's why.  But not giving a reason beats me!

I have a hunch just who that might be..... so your description fits ....... I call them "the Politicians "...but no matter , 99.99%  of the rest of the members are here for the joy of Horology .

      Without Our Forum

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Well Gentlemen and Ladies I think we should thank @Mark for his posts putting our minds to rest and the explanation of running the site which is done very well. As a resource for watch repairs for new and old I would rate it second to none, the casual banter and dissemination of information  top notch, let us ll enjoy working on here and helping others. Any one can PM me as Iam sure others as well if it has to off the “record” and Marks blessing on that.   We appreciate that Mark is a busy man and totally appreciate what he does for us all.    So from me THANK YOU MARK. from an old timer.

      Dial Dots

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi it depends on the watch. The ones with the day date complications  dial dots are not really any good as you have difficulty getting the clearance between day date wheels a the dial.  Dial feet can be fitted no problem, there are several options, the cheapest is to mill out where the foot is and glue a new foot on. ( available fron Cousins UK ) mterialhouse . Or solder on a new foot, only problem with that is you need great care not to mark the dial. I use a DIY. Dial foot machine works no problem.

      If everything is inside them, then once restored and keeping time the oris could be worth 20 -30 each, I've paid a lot more Oris date pointers in the past. Bought this last week for a quid at a carboot sale. A cute little Smiths made in England alarm clock. The alarm didn’t function properly because the movement wasn't fastened in. But it runs perfectly now, the previous made a bit of a mess of the dial but i still love it. For the Smiths lovers here's  a picture of the inside before i case it up again. Still with it the original Jewellers box.

      Seiko 7N22-7028 Movement Identification

      By watchweasol · Posted

      The canon  pinion height must match the one you are removing, the physical size of the movement if it’s the same as the one removed should fit ok. The bogey hole is the height  to maintain clearance from the crystal

      Mainspring winder question.

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      I’ve come across this sort of problem. The Bergeon universal winders aren’t always universal.    Options are: Track down a movement specific winder Hand wind it Buy a new mainspring - probably the best option in my view.    I’ve been thinking how to invent a winder that uses the actual barrel arbor. Haven’t done it yet…
