Where to buy a replacement band for this seiko watch?


Recommended Posts

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!

    • You often see the term used on old watch part boxes.  Staffs for bracelet watches, timing washers for bracelet wstches etc.
    • The Boro has changed quite a lot over the last 20 years, and not for the better. I actually moved out of the town 15 years ago to a small village not far away. Thanks for the pdf! Looks a great read. I'll get it printed today and put it on my work bench!
    • Not having all the fancy equipment, this is a way I came up with. I never said it was the best, the most ideal or the safest way. Working on balances is always a delicate task whereby full concentration & common sense should prevail. I was well aware of the "dangers" / short comings involved, hence my "warnings", as quoted above. The balance wheel of the Omega was nice true, flat and one could clearly see how much gap there was left before the grinding wheel would touch the balance wheel. I stopped when the generously applied diamond paste started to touch the rim of the balance wheel, which turned out to be with a seat thickness left of 0.1mm. Tapping the remainder of the staff out went easy and flawless. My idea of penning this article was to show/share a way which, in my case, perfectly succeeded. If deemed to risky, or if the balance wheel is not true or has a wobble, other methods have to be followed.
    • I loved his explanation of a teardown 😅 Ex military Richard Perrett, pretty knowledgeable guy.
    • I also see a bit of danger for the wheel, at least you have to keep away from it and may get a too thick rest ring. My rest rings are about 0.05 mm. Better way would be a grinding wheel touching the staff with its circumference. Frank
