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.

      Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.

      Hi,   My name is Simeon I am based in Sydney, Australia and have recently got into watch repair / watch making.  I am very much a learner having serviced multiple forgotten watches, some of which were actually successful!   I have a slowly growing collection of watches, mainly old Soviet, a few Japanese and (not pictured) some Raketas, a Poljot Alarm, an Omega Speedmaster Reduced and a vintage (1972) Tissot Seastar.  I like unloved vintage watches, with quirky faces and enjoy bringing them back to life through the simple(!) act of disassembly, clearing and reassembly. I am an Electrical Engineer who also undertook a trade apprenticeship so I am reasonably handy - It's fair to say, I know just enough to get myself in trouble.

      Seiko kinetic generator coil

      By DonEilenberger · Posted

      Sorry to reopen a necro-thread (long dormant) - I have a Seiko Kinetic 5M42A that needs at least one coil, possibly both. Anyone know of any sources?  The usual fallback of eBay has failed me - there are people selling coils, but not the ones for this movement (which was apparently a very popular movement, used in Seiko and Pulsa branded watches.) The coil numbers are: 4002 516,  and 4002 519 I'd also love to find a source for spares of the screws used all over this movement - they're Seiko PN 0022 247 Thanks! (Moderator - if this should be a new thread, please do feel free to tell me, or drag this one into a new thread.) Don Eilenberger
