any possibility of a picture of the said watch, for the seikoholics .    

The SKX007 is the most popular and photographed Seiko ever. Now discontinued, what the OP posted is not a 'real' SKX007, it's successor or a modified watch, with the Prospex logo disliked by many.

I was going to get that but paused and thought, it's worth just asking first.  I am very pleased I did.

It's just a 160 GBP watch. It has quality, brand and it's popular. The Japan dial and caseback are already worth more than what you would be paying, because people drools after them. Do not think too much, if you like it and can can afford it, go ahead and buy. In all cases there are at least a couple of forums around where people does nothing but talk about models and purchases, potential or not. Hanging out there may be also a pleasant diversion and of course it's free.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Chief · Posted

      Thanks Geotex, From what I can see the keyless works on mine is completely different to those in the photo, I had a bit of a Google and it looks like it's called a rocking bar?? I can't seem to find a single match online though. As far as the setting lever screw goes, you've just explained what I'm doing wrong and why it was probably left out in the first place. It needs to go in before the bridge 🙃. That's why the hole isn't big enough because it's designed to be smaller to stop the screw falling out until the bridge is removed. Thank you for that! I'll remove the bridge tonight and get it refit.

      Accutron 218 transistors

      By LittleWatchShop · Posted

      The term "digital transistor" is not a term of art--at least in the modern world.  A lifetime ago, there was such a thing as DTL (Diode Transistor Logic).  Resistors were involved, but I am not aware that they were ever integrated into the transistor package.

      Update: I posted over on NAWCC and it looks like I melted the fine coil wires where they come into the solder lugs. After dropping the heat way down on my iron and being absurdly careful, I have a humming fork!

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank
