Please help me about the problem with Seiko Kinetic Perpetual !!!


Recommended Posts

Hi, I have problem with this watch SNP001P1. The caliber is 7D48, Kinetic perpetual watch. I haven’t worn it for a long time. So the capasitor is broken. The capasitor has been changed. But the perpetual calander doesn’t change in the midnight. What is the problem? What do you think? Please help me.

one of the problems with watches that haven't been worn for long time is an indication that they might actually need to be serviced.

then there's the other problem when you change the capacitor/battery of complicated watches they usually lose track of all their settings. this usually requires a reset procedure and setting everything by very exact procedure the watch knows where everything is again. I'm not sure it's actually in the users manual it took a quick look if it's not there it would be in the service manual which is normally one document but due to the fact that this is a rather complicated watch there is actually four separate PDFs. So somewhere in there should be the setting instructions if you change the capacitor/battery.

    • The non-lantern pinion and wheel combo are actually for the motion works.  It drives the center wheel.  Both the power and chime trains (including the regulator) are all lantern pinion style.  The trundles in the lantern pinions all look to have no direct wear from the wheels - no rutting evident under magnification. 
    • Episode 3: Cleaning and New Surprises Alongside the aforementioned broken screw, while cleaning the parts, I found that the mainspring appeared intact only due to the years of grease. Additionally, one of the pushers seems was missing a screw at some time, and it looks like someone attempted to turn down a new one. Mainspring: Although I would love to use strictly original parts, I believe this might be a bit time-consuming and potentially expensive. Cousins has two options: 1.30 x 0.145 x 420 x 13 and 1.30 x 0.15 x 460 x 13, both non-automatic. The first one matches the original better, but I was wondering, would it be a good idea to use a longer, thicker one? It might provide a bit more run time, but I'm not sure if it's worth adding more energy to a vintage watch (both, judging by the specs provided, fit a 13mm barrel). What do you guys think? Pusher screws: Should I keep the existing screws, following the principle of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," or should I replace them?  
    • The watch is for my collection and I would love to get it back into a serviceable condition but there are no identifying marks on the movement apart from the number 1 stamped under the balance cock
    • Hi I bought this watch not working to repair because of the unusual automatic module, however I can't seem to identify the movement or Maker. The main movement is 11 1/2''' 21 jewels, the escape wheel pictured has both pivots broken Can anyone shed any light on the make and calibre?
    • I haven't had the problem either but I've been amazed just how hard I had to push.
