Hey guys, sorry to disturb you all, but I had a question about my watch. I received a Seiko SNJ250P (number on the back is H851-00A0) as a gift just yesterday and it has completely stopped working. I was wearing it out to a sports game today when I noticed it had stopped moving completely - the digital and analog faces both frozen. I went home yesterday and left it in the sun for about 5 hrs, and it still hasn't unfrozen. Can you guys offer me any advice?

How old is the watch ? The rechargeable battery which i think is a capacitor is supposed to last around ten years. Bearing in mind it may have been manufactured some years before it was purchased.  I have a seiko solar diver chronograph and have it stored in a watch case, the battery has run flat a couple of times while in the dark  It has taken more than 5 hours to start up again. Give it a full day in a light position, if nothing then it may need the battery changing, of course it could be completely unrelated to the battery.

They used to be capacitors there are now rechargeable lithium batteries.

If it's a gift perhaps it was purchased brand-new in which case it has a warranty.

read the manual again

Yes complicated watches you should always read the manual.

      First Project Already A Bit "Sideways"

      Here is another option, if you have the patience to sort through the parts you usually find 50-100 screws as well as some other cool stuff. Most times I get an order from these guys I get a 250g box, takes a few days, but end up with hundreds of spares and all you need is for one of them to be useful and it pays for itself. Also helps hone your tweezer skills!

      Can you soften the squeeze on a tweezer?

      As Hector said they have too much  tension, that tension is also fixed and not easy to control. Conventional tweezers have infinitely variable grip provided by us.

      Thank you and i appreciate that, it looks very different    Thank you sir but i think there is a little problem according to that reading it's because it is far different to the other move that i serviced, i will atouched the photo. They are different movements but this one is 7s26b movement and they are also different in shape when it comes to the ballance assmebly. Thanks also for the concerned i appreciate that.

      Donor movement showed up, so I stole the bridge screw from it. Which made me sad, because it's in such nice shape! It seems a shame. Maybe I'll find a use for it one of these days. Unfortunately, the stem is for a different style of case and is much too short. Fortunately, I ordered a brand new stem from McCaw Company. Unfortunately, the crown on the donor movement is thoroughly stripped out (it unscrewed in a shower of brass) so i just put the old stem back in for now until I source a new crown. As you can see, it's just a little too long for this case. Overall I'm super pleased. I didn't think I'd like the bracelet, and even that is growing on me.   Anyone have a favorite crown assortment?

      A couple of pictures of the front… Sorry, I’m months away from this one, but…there is an edge to the bezel but I see no obvious signs of previous bezel removal and it is quite thick so it would be difficult to grab an edge on the crystal with a crystal lift. It does look like in/out thru the back…good luck…
