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

      This is not rare at all, the dial code and case code don't usually match.

      By Kkramme · Posted

      Interesting issue that I just noticed: this Seiko 5actus Watch from 1977 has a calibre listing on the dial of 7019-8030R but on the case back it says 7019-8010!! Like a mis-printed coin, is this watch therefore worth a lot of money for its rarity?? 🤪😲🤔🤪

      I wish that was the case. The Aegler movements used in the early days by Wilsdorf & Davis (for brands like Rolex and Rolco) came in several sizes and without designated calibre numbers that survive.  They become a bit easier to identify during the 1920s. Below is an Aegler-Rebberg, 25.74mm in diameter. It’s from a woman’s Rolex wristwatch. Stamped Rebberg and 500 on the dial plate (but it isn’t a Rebberg 500, it’s the wrong size).  I’d be interested if anyone can identify the movement.  It is based off the Aegler Nr.1, circa 1903, but they based many many calibres of different sizes on it. The closest I have to a positive ID is the  ‘Rolex Nr.50’ circa 1917, but no dial side images or movement sizes are available in the references. There are identical looking movements in many sizes.  The 25.74mm of this movement is a particularly strange size for the era, it equates to 11.41 lignes.      Best Regards, Mark

      FHF70 balance jewels settings

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      It looks like this movement comes with a number of different shock settings. Emmywatch shows that it comes in versions with no shock settings, 'Incabloc', 'shock resist', and 'Supershock'. Perhaps the different settings position the impulse jewel/roller table in a non-ideal position relative to the pallet fork/guard pin. Are you able to check under high magnification if the pallet fork and roller table are able to operate without any interference? Just for fun I took a look and I have one FHF 70 in my collection, a West End Secundus with a non-shock protected FHF70. I had a note with the watch that said, "Movement is stamped 'FHF 70', but the FHF70 looks to have sub-seconds instead of center seconds movement (??)" but that a google search turned up both types for this movement. EDIT: I just took a look in my parts drawer and I have a few of these movements, both in center seconds and sweep seconds, but they all are non-shock protected.
