Hello All,

Just a quick question here. Had a older Seiko watch that is totally rusted and the cell look like it leaked also. I've been looking to see if i could get a replacement movement for it. But unable to get a 5Y39-4120 from any of my normal suppliers.

 

caliber: 5Y39A

size: 10.5

stem 351-670

battery: 371

function o. SC-D(3)

hands 0.65x1.10

 

would a VX39 work as a compatible?

 

caliber: VX39

size: 10.5

stem : 354-531

function SC-D(3)

hands: 0.70x1.20x0.20

 

Not sure what the hands size would mean and not sure what 0. sc-d(3) vs sc-d(3) under function means

 

I did call Seiko and they said they to see if i could get a replacement moment from them but they said they don't sell movements but did have it in stock if i wanted to send it to them and then get a quote.

 

Was kinda odd since I've always gotten parts from them before crystals/stems/crowns and so on.

 

Any insight would be great

 

Thank you

Here the watch i already check ebay for the same moment but haven't found one yet also notice that most movements has the wholes on the opposite sides.

Here is the movement after a soaking and cleaning already

couldn't get the all the rust of of the one wheel but got most of it off.

I could clean all the rust off of the plate with some sand paper but didn't really see a point since even after a overhaul the watch wasn't running either way the pulse test seems to be a negative. I assume this means the coil or the quartz circuit needs to be replace.

 

Also i believe a 7N32-6 should be a proper replacement for this watch i will most likely give that a shot. it has nearly the same size, has the hole on the right sides and has a cal at the 6

 

• Has 1 jewel
• Stem: 351892, Tap 11
• Date at 6
• Genuine Seiko quartz movement
• Japanese assembled


7N32-6

10 ½

2.50

110/65/20

      Hello and welcome from Leeds.  No such thing as a stupid question.   Find something to practice on before starting the Vertex.

      Vertex Dirty Dozen retainer ring

      By B1N9S · Posted

      I'm looking for the movement spacer ring for a Vertex 1944 military 'dirty dozen'. Ideally, I'd like to buy an original, although that may prove difficult. So, anyone with anything similar or just the correct sizings, would suffice for now. Alternatively, is there anyone that may be able to machine one (preffered) ?  Or maybe even the dreaded 3D printing ?

      Omega snap on case back VERY hard to remove.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Fashion watch casebacks are extremely tight with no gap for a knife to enter. A razor blade is the only tool that gets me in with a sharp ping as the back releases. Personally i wouldn’t modify, as it is you can remove and replace though somewhat difficult , with a mod it may not stay on. It could very well be a sharp edge that keeps it in place , a light rub might take away that edge ? It wouldn’t be worth that risk to me, just how accurate is a drill and the chuck, its not the accuracy of a lathe .

      Quick hello. I'm Wayne, living in N Wales, UK. Total newbie to watches.  Always liked them, but never got deep into them.   Anyway, last year, I dived in and bought a vintage Omega, which turned out to be a pig, so it was returned.  I am a engineer by profession, so was annoyed that I didn't know how to repair it myself. So, I then bought a Omega Dynamic chronograph, which works perfectly fine and I absolutely love it. Then a friend introduced me to the 'Dirty Dozen' and being ex military, I wanted one. So, now, I own a Vertex DD in need of repair and gentle restoration. (I have restored my own classic car, so am well aware of maintaining as much originality as possible) and I love the age and patina on the watch. And finally, I am now hooked on watching watch repair videos on UToob and would just like to learn and give it a go as a hobby. The professional level tools for this job are hugely expensive though, that's my first learning curve 🙂. Anyway, expect me to pop up asking wildly stupid questions around the forum.

      Mainspring winder question.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      The pins on those are a bit aggressive, not handed i believe.  I find them easier to unhook if i back them out where the spring begins to wind away and widen out. There's also a trick to stop them snapping around to the openings, its also a good idea to soften the edges of the 3 closure prongs.
