Hi, Just replaced a buzzer on my Seiko H601. The replacement piezo actually came with a Seiko quartz chronograph movement and I had saved it just in case. It was the correct size, 18mm diameter and had an array of glue dots on the back.

I managed to fit it to the case back as follows.

Clean old glue with metal scraper and fine abrasive (I used Scotchbrite grey). Final clean with solvent.

Place disc in place and put three pound coins stacked on top for a little downward force as the glue melts. Make sure the disc doesn't change position.

Put in oven directly on the rack and switch on at 200 degrees centigrade. Let oven attain temperature and then switch off to cool naturally (I opened the oven door and left for 30 minutes).

When cooled the disc appears to be stuck perfectly and the piezo output is now very very good.

Hope it helps.

Steve

      Rolex Cal 1570 Balance wheel rubbing

      By Jon · Posted

      Here's a quick Gif I made to show truing the balance using callipers. This has such a slight wobble, but is within acceptable parameters. The important thing is the balance doesn't touch or rub anything when in operation. This is an Eterna Tank. Here's a pic of the balance freshly rivetted with a new staff in the movement

      I just poked an inflation calculator, and $5 in 2020 would be about $6 in 2024. Doesn't fit very neatly into any status codes, which stop at 5XX, but that's honestly somewhat arbitrary outside of a clever pun for those that dabble in such things. Back during the pandemic, I would spend a good chunk of idle time in the evenings scanning through hundreds of listings a night, and I would only land 1-2 a week max. I would often go months without finding something suitable. A very small percentage of the watches in the price range are worth pulling the trigger on for my purposes. The number floating through the thread here may be somewhat deceptive.

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Zedster · Posted

      Hi, guys I got there in the end after several attempts using a screwdriver and Rodico, I couldn't wait for the tool to arrive and was getting pretty confident handling the stud screw without it flying away. At first, I was using far too much Rodico, and then realized you only need the smallest amount inside the screw slot. Putting the cock back onto the movement also helped as it gave me more to hold onto while my shaky hand tried to align the screw wobbling away at the end of the screwdriver😁 Anyway, job done and I can move on. Thanks again for all the advice it's really appreciated for a beginner.
