Hello I was watching a video on youtube, someone was servicing a Seiko watch and had a donor watch in fact he used two donors for parts ( he was fixing the watch for a friend) he needed a date wheel and date plastic cog and they where worn and teeth missing. 

I know my numbers move but not the days or the week, I also no my rotor is very stiff also lots of movement in the key works.

 

so I was just wondering if anyone has a spare donor I could buy I have seen movements on the bay BUT they a in India and I've been told by two different people to stay well away from India movement and watches.

So I have my begging bowl out I have found that the parts are discontinued and hard to find I would like to buy new if possible but needs must 

 

sorry if this sort of post is not aloud or I have offended anyone I am sorry however I'm a noobie and yet to find my way around sourcing parts and buying watches that don't have problems in finding parts. if this is not allowed please please delete

Hello T  I would take a look at the Ranfft web site (google Ranfft seiko 7019) and you will get a page on the seiko including all the family generations which may also contain the parts you need as a donor. fron what I looked at the 7009A is compatible., so it may widen your search and opertunity for bits.  To that end I have attached the sheets for the 7019 and the 7009A so you may compare the parts and numbers.  hope you dind it usefull    cheers.

It's Seiko 7019 

The link below has cross references for your watch. You can click on each of the parts you need and it will tell you all the watches that cross reference with that part. That makes it a lot easier to find donor movements because opens up the possibilities quite a bit.

I have ordered a movement from this web site

Ey. Tiny. Nice one fella. You've found a Seiko breaker.  His feedback looks pretty  good as well 👍. Others on the forum may be interested . I think Klassika is a Seiko fan. How's it going with you 👍

I'd avoid others in the Seiko 70** series and hold out for a 7019, to avoid compatibility issues on the few parts that aren't interchangable.   
You should do well with a movement from speedtimerkollektion. Unfortunatly, their photos all show the motion side, and it seems like your issues are on the calendar side.

The problem is that there are different day stars/discs for different watch models.
Crown position in watch case: as you can see in the watch examples on the speedtimerKollektion page, some watches have the crown at 3pm, and some at 4pm. The day/date window is always at 3pm, and the movements are identical apart from the daydisk - the wrong model will result in a totally misaligned day. (Sometimes this happens even with the correct daywheel as it starts slipping on it's star - that can be rectified by re-tightening it, ideally with a staking set, but you can improvise)

Colour: most are white, but some are black.

Language: All are dual language - English and a choice of Spanish, French, Kanji (japanese), Arabic, and possibly others that I haven't come across.

 

Your issue may be with the day finger, but if I recall those are metal on the 7019, and are protected from users quicksetting close to midnight, so should be ok -- see attached photo.

So you may be better of on ebay where you can see the dial. You don't have to wait for a movement - you'll likely come across a tired old (usually gold plated) watch that is ready for scrapping. If the second hand has moved between photos that suggests it's at least ticking.
Best, Jake O

      Movement holder made with 3D printer

      By Waggy · Posted

      So here is the new base (v 2.1), I made it so that the base will fit over and swallow the stump of the hand pusher tool (or at least my clone of the tool), I also reduced the OD of the bottom skirt a little as it looked/felt a little large, here are a few pictures and the fake .pdf file which you need to convert to .zip once downloaded.   The cut-out seen on the below image on the bottom of the base should swallow the OD (40 mm, +0.1 mm tolerance) of the stump and the height of the stump 9.5mm (measured to 9.1mm, but rounded to 9.5mm) - let me know if this works for your tool.   Note, I think you may need to print supports for the new internal shelf created?

      Balance spring fell out of regulator pin.

      By HectorLooi · Posted

      Hi Frank, you have dived headlong into the deep end. Hairspring work has to be the scariest thing a newbie has to tackle. Your hairspring appears to be bent and just putting it back into the regulator would not allow the balance to work properly. It might start oscillating but the performance would not be good. The proper thing to do is to unstud the hairspring, remove the hairspring from the balance, reinstall the hairspring on the stud carrier, reshape the endcurve and centre the collet to the balance jewel hole. This challenge would either make you or break you. Hope that you will be able to fix your watch. Welcome to the world of watchmaking.  Watch this video. It think it'll give you an idea of the task ahead. From your 1st photo, I think you have a etachron type stud. Let me see if I can find a video on how to remove it from the arm.

      Have read of the Tech Sheet attached on the balance section page 12. It may be bent but until you reposition it back in the regulator pins you'll never know. Cheers CJ 4R35B_4R36A.pdf

      Balance spring fell out of regulator pin.

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, My Seiko 4R35B movement stopped working today. Upon closer inspection, it looks like the balance spring came out of the regulator pin. This is my first time working on a balance. Any advice on how to get this spring repositioned (back to normal)? I'm pretty sure that while adjusting the beat error on this movement, I must have turned the stud (I didn't even know they turned), and the spring eventually fell out.  Will the spring go back to even spacing when it's back in the pin, or does it look bent? Thanks, Frank

      Good job, that band matches the watch perfectly.
