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]

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.

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]

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.

I emailed seller if they'd reconsider sending internationally.

No answer [emoji20]

Ends in 15mins.

Would have been a nice project.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Chief · Posted

      So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray

      Gilding after silver soldering

      By AlanB · Posted

      When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

      Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon

      According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb
