Always nice if you give us a background story? Did you purchase the watch new with the instructions coming with that watch?

Then I have a link where it explains what a Seiko five Is. Notice it does not define a specific caliber so conceivably the setting instructions may be different. On some of the Seiko is pushing in the crown should advance the day date but others you may pull it out to the position in between the setting and in and it should change the day date the same as basically any other watch.

Then it would be helpful to give us the model number of the movement you'll find that number on the back of the case

Sorry, I put new old. Its old stock. I found it at a small jewelry shop in South Texas,  its movement is a 6119c Automatic.  21 jewel. It is keeping amazing time. 

I'm thinking the I have a malfunction in the day date setting mechanism. Just wanted to make sure if there was another to set D and D. Thx much!!!

One of the things important to remember with rapid day date setting mechanisms never run them any time around midnight when it's normally changing. There is a possibility depends on the watch but there is a possibility of damaging things. I can't remember on the Seiko is whether that's a problem or not?

I'm attaching the various technical sheets A, B and C Versions. You'll notice in the description at the very top it does describe rapid changing the first two very clearly says pushbutton the third it's not there? So I don't know if they changed how that works or not

So the indication is it has a rapid setting but it's interesting on the CD version where it doesn't exactly spell out how that works.

Sometimes the underside of the crown gets filled with crud... pretty disgusting stuff. Only way is to remove the crown and clear it out. When installing use a bit of silicon oil on the crown and caseback gasket. You can get silicon oil cheaply at the autoparts store, ask for silicon oil used in automotive viscous coupled fan clutches.

I also seem to remember that some 6119 have a quickset at the first stop when you pull out the crown..worth checking.

      My first Gruens. Precision 510 and N510R movements.

      By rjenkinsgb · Posted

      Snap! I recently finished my Gruen 510 movement - though the case for mine is in a rather sad state; I'm going to try re-plating it (in nickel, it's not a gold one).   Re. the screws, I got a few of the one gram mixed batches from ebay. I've only needed a couple of screws for things so far, both rare, minuscule types - but both in the mix, after enough time sorting through them! The ones such as normal bridge screws are quite common in those lots.

      Any tips to correct a sloppy error?

      By rjenkinsgb · Posted

      Two pins or screwdrivers angled out slightly, pressing through from the barrel centre from the opposite side so they contact just clear of the hole in the lid? eg. Strap pin driver needles or similar.

      That's a good idea - shrinking down the nut and wrench size from the old casebook trick!

      Movement holder made with 3D printer

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      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.

      Setting lever spring

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      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.
