Hello everyone,

my name is Álvaro and I'm from Portugal. Professional musician, I'm also a watch collector and watchmaking enthusiast being that my father is a retired watchmaker (old school ie., no parts? Make it yourself!)😄. At the moment I'm gravitating around the Seiko brand and it's most common and less expensive vintage calibers/models. Like this one, 2107-0120 small size model. A bit frustrating as I can't manage to get it out of the case. Or I'm doing it wrong or the movement holder ring is really stuck!! 🙁 Help is much apreciated!

Cheers!

Welcome to WRT forum.

 I can't tell if there is a rubber O-ring there, I pull out the stem to set position, press on set lever button and remove the stem, insert a driver in the hole stem was in, pry the retainer plate/ ring out.

 That rubber ring has to come out, thats whats keeping the retainer plate so tight in place, it migh come out in pieces, take a soldering gun to it if needed. needs to be replaced with new one anyway. with stem out , just stick a screw driver into hole of the retainer plate  pry it off against the case

Good luck.

      Not a family member, and yes, it no way near as good, as some information got lost from original site and some information got incorrectly copied. The original site is available as iOS app here: https://apps.apple.com/fi/app/ranfft-watch-movements-archive/id6502008939

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Outstanding, Marc! Your information is really helpful and clears this up, especially given that yours were purchased as sets. Thanks, man. So, it appears I jumped the gun on this one, but I am relieved. I will say, though, that all of my reamers and concave pushers are number-stamped and appear to be of better quality.  Also, the bayonets on my pushers are actually the same color as the steel.  The next thing to do is restore the heads of these pushers with some polishing paper.  Alex at the Watch Repair channel has a nice little video on this.   I appreciate your help!

      Just installed it on my iPhone (my only iOS device) and it appears to be intact and functional. I may have to go out and buy myself an ipad just for this app.

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Marc · Posted

      I have two Seitz sets, one ancient (with the 3mm anvils) and one just old (with 4mm anvils) plus a collection of spare pushers of assorted vintage. Not one of them is marked with it's size. Something which I have found very irritating when I have been using the tool and not returning pushers to their correct place in the tray every time as it means that I have to get the calipers out and measure them. These were bought as sets and collectively I have over 100 pushers so it would seem highly unlikely (if not inconceivable) that they are all cheap knock offs, especially as they are old enough to pre-date the prevalence of the Chinese knock off industry (at least as applied to watch making tools). I therefore believe them to be original Seitz parts. And there is no numbering. The shape of the bottom of the pump pushers is the same as your photo. The only thing that may not be the same is that the slotted insert (looks like a screw but is in fact a bayonet) should be brass. Yours looks the same colour as the steel but that could just be the lighting.
