I have a SEIKO 6S37-0010, but its aged band links always fall out, once even making it drop from my wrist.

I asked SEIKO, and they said it is $1300 for a new titanium band, barring this option, where can I get replacement linking bars, or perhaps leather bands? 

Thanks!

(Picture is not my watch, it is over in Japan for repair right now. This is a generic image just for reference purposes.)

Cousins supply bracelet parts and some Seiko bracelets .

There is a guy on YouTube “ the Nekkid watchmaker” who does some remarkable work on cases and bracelets well worth a watch to see what can be achieved with an original.

How about showing the damage for advice.

 

Sorry, but I do not have the watch on hand right now, since it is at SEIKO for repairs. I will update the post with those as soon as I get them back!

      Usually the coiled spring contacts the piezo sounder and the finger spring is the ground.

      How to store one dip

      By Waggy · Posted

      So I checked with my friendly local lab supplier and they can supply the following in 2.5 lt bottles: Tetrachloroethylene (B-Dip) - approx ￡65 Trichloroethylene (one-dip) - approx ￡43 n-Heptane 99% (Essence of Renata) - approx ￡35 Hexane - approx ￡45 I can't import or buy locally the 'real' products, hence the raw chemicals above. What do you think would be my best option? I'm edging towards Trichloroethylene - I know there are greater health risks, but given the very small quantities used for each treatment and 99.99% of the time it will be sealed in a jar, I think any risk is vanishingly small? This is mainly due to its assumed superior cleaning properties, or from the experience of this group, is the extra cleaning noticeable compared to its safer alternatives?

      Blew it with a coil

      Unfortunately after much investigation, apparently the coil has been discontinued! Shall I get my service guy to try the solder or the conductive paint? 🎨 Final recommendation please🙏

      Eta 2970-1 rotor mount stops watch

      By Dmitry · Posted

      Here are the pics of the bridge. Looks correct, but as soon as I screw on the rotor, the watch stops. Video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArG5E62RGctxjokY5ws85BzuJLVakA   Pics. Might have figured it out. I have been working on this watch for a while and since I got it as a non runner in a terrible shape, there was no guarantee that parts were proper. I think the main screw that was used on the rotor was too long, so it was stopping the main train. As soon as I fished out a much shorter and larger headed screw, things were good again. Please celebrate with me.

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.
