Hi to everyone!

I am new and would like to start watch repair as my new hobby in my old age 64; I hope to get good enough to fix my very first watch Seiko 1606c that I purchased in New York back in 1971 (if I can ever find the part for it or a replacement movement)when I was 14 with my very first pay check. it needs a balancer ass'y.

It was removed by me when I got sick of the watch and wanted a new on; today I am sorry that I 

ever did that.

Here is a picture of my watch and now you see why I would like to replace it with another one just like it or fix it.

Welcome here. To positively identify the mov.t you need to post a picture with the back removed. 

However, please be aware that even just fitting a new balance complete or doing a mov.t replacement is a delicate task, not suitable for a beginner. And after that may decades the original mov.t certainly should be serviced to run as it should. 

Having a professional watchmakrr do the above would have a cost various times over the material value of the watch, unfortunately that is the only sure and safe way to have the watch proprrly fixed.

Welcome to the forums. Enjoy.  

Hope you can get your watch fixed. I went through a very similar experience with my first Seiko.
