Hello,

I have a Seiko Presage Automatic Watch, model number 8R48-00J0. The seconds hand stopped moving, along with the minute and hour hands. However, the small seconds hand is still moving. I tried moving the watch around to wind it to no avail. I am a complete beginner to watches. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

by beginner is this the first watch you going to try to service? In other words you have zero other experience?

Post your question in watch repair and advice subforum,  your sure to catch a ride there as thats where repair traffic is. 

then one of the problems with the group is too many categories some of us like me go to the unread tablet basically and go through the unread messages are there is probably look at specific discussions that means it discussions like this in the wrong category may conceivably never be seen by theory the moderator or Mark should come along and move it to an appropriate location where it will be noticed.

also be nice to post a picture as most people probably won't know what this watches. Also the background history newly purchased you've had it for a number of years background history's help for problem solving.

I'm attaching the tech sheets it looks like you can wind this watch up by turning the crown. then because I can see the tech sheet it appears to be a chronograph and as nice as the manual is this isn't really a newbie's watch to work on at all. That is unless of course it's a practice watching a don't care if it never runs again. I would find something simpler to start with but in case you want to get started here's the manual

 This indicates its still ticking?  can you hear it ticking?   which indicates  the fork is kicking thus its running away, perhaps from you for  fear of getting ruinned 😩 ,    guess by who.

What you have there is a chronograph. The large centre-seconds hand is the chronograph seconds hand, and it only starts moving if you press the top button. Stop it with the same button. Reset with the bottom one. If the small-seconds hand is moving, then the watch is running. What makes you sure that the minute- and hour-hands are not moving?

Thanks a lot. I'm an idiot!

no not an idiot you made the classic mistake of thinking you shouldn't read the users manual.  after all it's only a watch why should you read the manual so in case you through the manual way they didn't want to read I've attached the PDF. Then I found a couple links describing your movement

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.

      Yeah ive watched that a few times before,  i couldnt find my old school dividers to scribe it up 😅 Yep thats the guy i bought a roll from . Thanks Nicklesilver that answers that perfectly and more or less what i thought an experiment over time would prove . The jumper arm is quite thick along its length, i left it that way intentionally, i thought the original was probably very thin, i didnt see that it was already missing. Setting isn't particularly stiff as such just positive, i still need to take it out and polish where it mates with the stem release.

      Yes, "Sold out" is difficult to understand. There doesn't seem to be a lot going on. It's been nine months since any new video was published on the Watch Repair Channel. The Level 4 course on watchfix.com has been in progress for what feels like forever (several years!?). Maybe Mark's enterprises aren't doing well or perhaps already so profitable there's nothing much to motivate him for more material. Or, perhaps these days he's more into crochet. The real reason is probably something entirely different but it would be nice/interesting to know. I don't mean to sound gloomy or pessimistic, but I wouldn't be surprised to be met by an HTTP 404. Every day feels like a gift. Speaking of watchfix.com I've been postponing the "Level 5: Servicing Chronograph Watches" course for a very, very long time. Anyway, I just enrolled on it so it's going to be very interesting to see the videos. I must say, IMO there's nothing really that can compete with Mark's courses when it comes to presentation and video quality. It's simply world-class and makes me associate with some really expensive BBC productions.
