Got this for silly money but didn't ask myself why it went that cheap.

2015-08-07%2011.44.53.png

Has a Seiko 7t62 quartz.

Once I got it in my hands, realised why.

Impossible to find original bracelet. [emoji35]

So my question is this...

What strap/band can I get to fit or could one be modified?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Or you could use a normal strap with a cut out held with pressure bars and rivet ends (Tissot rock watch style) or threaded bars with screw ends.

Hmm, I like the idea of threaded bars. Not sure how big the hole is in the lug but I'll take a look tomorrow. Hope its big enough for them.

Thanks [emoji106]

Had a similar problem a while ago with a Seiko & could not get an exact match or extra links. Found real Seiko bands are real pricey so fettled a Cousins one but be careful standard bands are real small & the guy who needed the band had a wrist of 20mm so I had to buy e/large band & this was still a bit tight. 

Whilst on the subject of bands I have had a few times now purchased used watches from the bay with metal straps but they have had all their spare links removed !!!!!!  So now I ask the size before any bidding.

Tell me about it.

I bought this off a French student on Gumtree for £20 but was one link too small. Cost me another £20 for the link [emoji33]

Since Pulsar is basically a "daughter company" of Seiko, using their movements, I would also take a look at Seiko's vast portfolio of watches and parts on ebay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR9.TRC1.A0.H0.Xseiko+7t62.TRS0&_nkw=seiko+7t62&_sacat=0

Hi. I have looked all over.

Started from the Seiko service catalogue for the part number. No one stocks or can get a spare bracelet.

Then moved on to all countries on ebay. The problem being, this watch uses a unique bracelet.

Ive now ordered a rubber strap to be modified. Then will go with Blacklabs suggestion of threaded pins with screw heads if I can find some thin enough. If not, might have to ream out the holes a bit.

Here's a thought.

 

It has a Seiko 7T62 in it right? Well you could pick up a fixer-upper seiko for silly money and have a nice wearable watch...

 

Heres one on eb@y now...admittedly the crystal is pretty scratched up but on the plus side it looks like it has a nice long band! Looks like it has screw-down pushers as well.. this is a nice feature... pretty Breitling'esque'!

To be honest, unless you really WANT a Pulsar..this would be the way to go.

 

Link to the ebay listing..buy-it-now at USD40, starting at USD9.5.. no takers yet, and I'd bet the only takers would be those after the case and band as its too much trouble to fix it if its gone wrong..

Looking at the watch I would consider changing the crystal as it could be a nice watch. Straps are a problem with a lot of sellers removing all the extra links from watches before selling then selling the links.

Yeah clockboy...

I bought a omega speedmaster and the watch only just fit at the last hole.

Shop wanted to sell me another link at around usd30... but they eventually threw it in.

I emailed seller if they'd reconsider sending internationally.

No answer [emoji20]

Ends in 15mins.

Would have been a nice project.

Yeah I know. Shame though cos it went for peanuts.

Always got my eye out. Time for a visit to all 17 charity shops along my highstreet.

    • My profile photo is age 20, last century, but I still look exactly the same so I'm not sure it counts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    • I sure appreciate your comment! I will look into one of those or maybe something similar. I of course will check your video to have a better idea.  by the way, that’s a beautiful lathe! Mine is a little peersless, but I just bought a Boley & Leinen that is on its way. That’s the one I am looking a motor for. It comes with a motor, but I want to replace it for  one that has a speed controller.
    • Indeed. I would not attempt one. Here is my messy Sherline setup
    • Hello everyone my name is Tom and I and I am new to the forum and new to the hobby. I have always had an interest in mechanical watches and finally decided to pursue it. I’m going thru online trading and have purchased the basic tools to set up a work area. I’m really looking forward to learning and thank you in advance for all of your knowledge!
    • This conversation is becoming a very confusing. The etachron system is a very nice system for manufacturing watches. As you know it consists of two components the stud and the regulator pins. Beautiful thing of this system is you can open up your regulator pins center the hairspring and as you close the pins they will close equally on both sides providing you centered it in the first place. It's not like you're going to become closer to one side or the other as the definition of the regulator pins is a bit confusing it's not exactly a slot sort of. I'm thinking maybe a little eight reading will be helpful for you. Then the file name was changed by me at the US patent but the wording of Seiko may or may not actually be attached to it soared up? I just did that so I can find it in my files. Normally patents are in people's name if they work for a company the company name will be there you'll notice the person lives in Japan which is interesting as the name would imply that this is a Swiss product. Somewhere I think I have the patents for the stud and I believe that is Swiss like a lot of things their Japanese and Swiss and then the Japanese let the Swiss name stand as it seems you more popular in case as you read up on the patents of the regulator pins or pin will see and it should explain exactly how and why it works also why it's important to always close at an open in specific directions because the pins actually have a shaped to them it's very hard to see the shape as it's very tiny.   As a reminder with this system it's mass-produced. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they use cameras and computers to do all of the adjustments.  The meaning of this is that the majority of watches will function as there supposed to and do what they're supposed to do the system will allow us for some minor in tolerance and has more than likely as I said no human hand is ever touched those watches that's the way they left the factory and they work fine.
