Seiko 7T62-0ch0 cannot find replacement coil. 

I'm desperate for help. I need a coil! I've been wearing this was everyday for about 20 years, even to work and I'm a welder. Ive only had to replace the clasp once, and the crystal a few times from welding spatter. 

Took it to my normal jewelr, thought it was battery, next day noticed it stopped again, so he sent it to his "watch guy" said the coil had gone bad? Three months and was told neither of them could locate a coil for this watch. Im beyond picky and wear the same watch, ring and necklace every day... I absolutely love this watch, i looked for months before finding it. Back then i got it for $200, after the store wide half off sale supposedly. Ive shopped and shopped and just couldn't wear any other watch daily, that i can afford anyways.

 

I cannot get the back off to even take pictures, assuming a tool is needed. Where can I find a replacement coil, or are there 2? I'd even try and buy a used beat up one for the coil if it still worked. If the coil is simply copper wire wrapped up how could it not be fixed? Maybe his watch guy isn't really a solid repair guy and just swaps out parts? Any advice or help in the right direction would be appreciated!

Strange, you can buy a complete new movement and have it through your letterbox by the end of the week for £69.75, CousinsUK is a public site, so you don't need to be a business or anything to use them.

Hope this helps

 

PS

Not sure how much of a "watch guy" your watch guy is if he can't source this movement, so you may want to look elsewhere... just my opinion 🙂

      I also agree with @mikepilk and @Waggy. Your readings look good. The amplitude drop between the horizontal postion and the vertical position is nice and low (only 18° difference).  The delta of 17 sec (-3 to +14) between those positions is absolutely ok. If you really wanted to improve on this, I think you'd have to look into the poising of the balance wheel (not the spring, which looks perfect). But that's a total overkill for this kind of movement. Leave it be.

      AS 1475 REFURBISH (Recalled to life)

      I've just finished refurbishing a Memostar Alarm with AS 1931 movement (same as 1945 but with date and running at 21600). I was also surprised how many parts are available at Cousins. Like you, I was missing the alarm stem (Cousins stock them) and I needed new crowns. It's a nice simple movement for an alarm, easier to service than a Seiko Bell-Matic. BTW I made a note in my Servicing spreadsheet: "Pull out winding stem before removal".  It may have just been wear on my movement, but I found that the yoke could move out of the clutch if the stem was removed in the normal position (like some ETAs).  You might find this interesting

      I picked up this alarm watch at a flea market several months ago and recently decided to investigate.  I am not finished, but well on my way. As you can see, there was significant water damage.  Running these parts through my L&R cleaner was not enough to clean them, so I did manual cleaning with one-dip and cotton swab (the dense pointed kind).  The wig-wag was stubborn--the two gears would not release from the plate.  I soaked it in Kroil overnight and that did the trick. There was some rust on the balance staff, but not actually on the pivots themselves.  Nevertheless, I chucked it a step-chuck on my lathe and burnished the pivots. The watch is running and I have confirmed that the alarm drive train is functioning.  Since I am missing a stem for the alarm, I have not done the final assemble of the alarm components.  Surprisingly, there are lots of parts available for this movement on Cousins.  I will probably get a couple of stems and maybe some other parts that I deem necessary. The watch is running at weak amplitude (about 190) and shows some poising issues.  I will work on that. The last two pictures are after partial reassembly.

      Exactly!  It may not really be a joke, but the actual truth.
