Hi Guys!

Got an issuewith an Seiko SQ that has a 5Y23A Quartz movement in it.

Its stuck in the date/day change position. 

Cant' push it in to get it to the "closed" position, and can't pull it out to set time? Stem also seems to be a bit loose.

Any idea how to fix? Did something in the keyless works shift due to the stem being removed? 

Let me know if I can provide any other pics.

Thanks!

okay so from the wording you're saying that you remove the stem you put it back in and now it doesn't function versus it just randomly got stuck all by itself?

removing stem is usually easy putting them back in and having everything work depending upon the watch can be quite a challenge. Some watches no problems other they have to be in specific places and still others are always just problematic. Don't remember how much plastic is on this Seiko  as a lot of them can have a lot of plastic and it's really easy to break the plastic if you're not careful. The only way to figure out what's going on is going to have to disassemble the watch. For that I'm attaching the tech sheet.

If not then it will need investigation of the dial side( keyless side).

on this particular Seiko quartz if you look at the tech sheet the setting keyless can be found on the back side. It just means you have to remove quite a bit of a movement to get there.

      Hi Nev . No i didn't try this balance in the movement as it didn't run and the deformed staff broke when i removed the roller. Problem is what i think is the correct staff for this movement, the hub seat, roller and collet profiles are all too small for those parts of the assembly. The movement listed on Ranfft's site is correct my movement and the nos staffs i have match the ronda measurements. I can only assume that the wheel , roller and collet openings have all been broached to make them fit an oversized staff, both staff pivots had also been modified.

      B-Dip residue?

      Yes, threw it on the demagnetizer before I cleaned it to be sure.  This picture doesn't show it well, but I can definitely see liquid where the turns meet up.

      My newest 404 candidate, a late '60's / early '70's Waltham with a UTC 33 / Seiko 6601 17 jewel automatic movement. It needed a new crystal and I put on a strap from my Strap Graveyard. The timegrapher was a snow storm before servicing but it cleaned up nicely. I really like the funky font used for the hour markers.

      Hi Rich, the main problem with the balance is if the roller is from this movement. Did Yoy try if the balance interacted correctly with the lever? You can use suitable (by size) balance/hairspring couple from You pile of balances, but the roller must be for this lever (original for the calibre). Not that making roller is impossible, but it is easier to have one.

      Its ok blueharp the pictures you provided earlier of the 3 keyless components,  the setting lever, the setting lever spring and the yoke plus the brass cover plate should be enough. If they are not listed anywhere then you are relying on any lettering on the movement or someone that just knows the movement from experience.
