seiko V657-8120 parts


Recommended Posts

Hi and welcome to the forum   The movement you quote is now obsolete and therefore parts will be at a premium.  Cousins uk  quote a complete movement as an alternative   VD57  for £10 50 complete. So It makes sense to replace the complete movement and scrap the oiginal for parts. The movement is most probably made by Hattori/seiko/epson who are all the same company but different divisions.

Hello everyone.

I am new in this forum, have asked ones for parts for my flightmaster, was adviced to look at VD57 instead of repairing my original watch. Have search around and find no V657-8120 watch or parts on ebay. That makes me more upset to fix my own  one. I have spareparts list and wonder where to order parts broken or missed.

Any good ideas?

Hi  According to Cousins uk list all versions of the V657 are obsolete so the alterative is the VD57 or trawl Ebay in the hope of a donor watch or locate second user parts from previously mentioned sources plus speedtimerkollection site  in europe.  Jules borel and esslingers

There is no best or secret place for parts, actually there's s no guarantee one can get parts at all. Have a read to our pinned topic below.

    • Getting back to the issue which is us guys repairing or just enjoying horological exploits. The big worry now is how sound is Cousins as company going forward. The of cost if this 8 year legal battle will be astronomical. Cut backs will happen noticed already how the Cousins catalogue is half its size this year. The main supplier going out of business will hit the UK horological community in a big way. 
    • 🤔 leaving the EU meant that UK was no longer part of the convention and have already been turned down an independent reapplication. I'm pretty sure courts have to be held in Switzerland in this case. There will be a lot more watches stashed away in draws  tbh, folk wont be able to afford to maintain them. Cheap watches will be bought and top end watches by folk with plenty of cash that can pay for service and repair. The expensive once in a lifetime gifts and everything else inbetween will be at the forgotton when they stop working. I know i was being a numpty, get used to it 😄 Anybody that knows will boycott them, but besides repairers who will know. Nope will never buy one, i made that decision as soon as i learnt about this. 
    • although not in this case.  It was the Lugano Convention and its deficiencies that allowed a Swiss court decision in the first place.  This isnt really a Brexit issue at all.  A decision that affects both the EU and the UK should never have been heard in Switzerland. I bet the authorised service centres in the UK are pretty pleased.  It's a massive shame, though; I believe watch owners should be able to choose to have their watch serviced by whoever they trust.
    • Hi guys I think that old hippy is correct, it opens the gates for china to manufacture aftermarket spare parts. considering that they already do work on behalf of the Swiss I guess this decision gives the a little more legitimacy to tool up and I am sure they will take advantage of the situation either with or without the blessing of the Swiss watch industry  Having read about the protectionist machinations of the Swiss in the history of Europe they were the only ones to get fat at everybody else’s expense. I think the outcome could have been guessed at but ,  fair play to Cousins UK for standing up to them.  Now the question,  will everybody boycott Swiss watches and Swatch, no way they will still fill their coffers.  Me I stick with the Japanese once renowned for cheap shitty watches who came good through industrial effort and don’t for get the Russians that most dismiss as low grade crap. Wouldn’t buy a swatch product ever how about you all.? a
