Looking to identify and source band pins/sleeves for Seiko 5J22-0C60

LOL.

So, I've got a Seiko 5J22-0D30 that won't charge.  I've changed the capacitor/battery and the charge runs down quickly, so I just assumed the movement was borked.

Looking around on the great auction site, I picked up a 5J22-0C60 on the cheap that I thought I would scavenge the movement out of for the 5J22-0D30.

As it turns out, I like this watch a lot and don't want to scavenge from it. Problem is, I need new set of band pins/sleeves.

It only had one set and it has been rightfully abused. Sorry for the crappy picture:

The info on the pins is as follows:

OD Large section = 1.2mm

OD Small section = 0.9mm

Length Pin = 17mm

Length Sleeve = 4.5mm

Looking around I can find these all over, but no dimensions to confirm usage.

How can I:

  1. Identify them succinctly enough to procure them?
  2. Procure them?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Thanks.

For a couple of reason, I'm a bit trepidatious about this option.

Was hoping to find a "global list" of part numbers for this kind of stuff.

I guess Seiko is not forthcoming with that kind of stuff.

cheers,

It’s not just Seiko Chris, to be fair we probably have more information on Seiko parts than most manufacturers. Unfortunately no global parts list exists for anything in watchmaking.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      You're thinking metal to jewel in general I guess. Maybe it would be a good idea to peg the pallet jewel hole on the main plate after the epilame treatment. I think that could work as it is my impression that the epilame doesn't sit very hard, but I could be wrong about that so feel free to educate me. I didn't remember that 9501 was thixotropic (thanks for the link). That would mean it's even runnier during impact (lower viscosity) so perhaps it's time I get some fresh grease as mine seems a bit too runny. What I have seen is a whitish surface after washing but it goes away if I scrub the surface with a brush in a degreaser (Horosolv). I don't think it embeds itself in the metal but sticks very hard to the metal. I don't worry too much about the cleaning solution. I just want perfectly clean parts and my solution can be replaced for little money (ELMA RED 1:9). Anyway, I quite often need "to strip back and rebuild" and scrubbing parts by hand isn't exactly the most stimulating part of a service.

      I’ve had a couple movements where it is clear the previous watchmaker was diligent with lubrication but the old epilam had turned to a fine white powder covering the pallet fork and keyless parts, which can’t be good for parts. I’m spare with epi since I don’t know how long it takes to degrade to that state…

      I have read some suggestions that it can cause wear , particularly on the fork horns of a fully treated pallet fork. I've had half a kilo of steriac acid powder on a shelf for almost a year now, might have a little play today with a heater and a jar.  I think its because it gets into their cleaning solutions Mike. Theirs or anyone else's that services the watch next time, or if they need to strip back and rebuild. Could preclean but thats all time for a pro. I thought the idea was for the epilame to create a barrier, a wall between the lubrication and anything else, so the lube cant spread.

      As I'm only cleaning watches in small numbers at home, I pre-clean any significant deposits of old grease and oil before using the cleaning solutions. I scrape off deposits with pegwood and Rodico, and if really dirty, wash parts in naphtha with a brush.  So I'm happy using DX, but can understand why it's avoided by the pros.

      Any tips to correct a sloppy error?

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think attaching a nut to the lid to pull it off is the least destructive, any damage damage on the outside is going to an easier fix than any created when trying to push it out from the inside. Scratching up the inside of the lid , mainspring or arbor bearing will be risk. Just my opinion.
