Hi, all

I was about to finish Omega 601 case 135.04 after spending some time polishing the crystal and then breaking it while refitting it 🤬 I've been checking on Cousins for a replacement and I will go with a 36.1mm outer. This is where I'm either dumb or just can't see the information in the Sternkreuz G22 document that Cousins points you to for relevant info. I know I want an armored crystal with the reference number ATC316 but there are a couple of options for either a standard or wide ring and this is what I wanted to check in the caterlogue against the broken one. From what I can see from the G22 document is a page showing the packaging for ATC crystals but no other information. Am I just being dumb or should I have gone to sepcsavers? 🤭

So is it a 135.041 or 135.042 case?

I presume the 36.1mm is a typo and should be 31.6mm as the ATC316?

Is it a gold or silver case?

Oh dear I should have gone to specsavers 😂 The case is 135.041 silver and the old crystal measured 31.6mm outer. I saw on eBay somebody selling a crystal for this case and they also had it down as being 31.6mm so that confirmed my own measurement. I won't be buying that one though as it was a lot more expensive than a cousin's offering, if not genuine.

So Cousins do the PX5005G which is a Gold Ring which also confirms the size is correct.

I can't see anything showing a Standard or Wide Fitting?

Where did you get this info?

Edit

ATC = 1.25mm & ATCB = 2.25mm

I will just check the height on the broken one first

If you could post the width of the tension ring this may be of benefit to someone in the future.

The outer diameter is 30.5mm, the inner 29.0mm, and the thickness 0.9mm  

So what's the thickness from the outside of the crystal to the inside of the ring, would this be 2.6mm, 31.6mm Crystal and 29.0mm Internal.

If that's the case then the ACTB may not be suitable as a replacement at 2.25mm.

Edit

I've left the above but just realised that the 2.6mm is divided by 2 so the ACT would probably work at 1.25mm.

      Unusual Seiko dial damage

      By tIB · Posted

      Believe the relume (not a fan) was done a long time after the damage.

      I can only think of some chemical reaction to reluming

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By nickelsilver · Posted

      I have a little milling attachment for my WW lathe, but very rarely use it and not for wheel and pinion cutting. For that I use a small Sixis 101 milling machine. I normally do direct dividing, but sometimes have to do an odd count and use the universal index which also fits on the Sixis.   Back in the day when I didn't have a mill, I would cut gearing on my Schaublin 102. It has a universal dividing attachment which fits the back of the spindle. Both it and the one for the Sixis are 60:1 ratio, and with the set of 4  index plates I can do almost any division. When I've had to do a strange high count prime number, I print a disc with the needed division and just place the plunger on the dot. Any position error is reduced by a factor of 60 so still plenty accurate.   The machines are a mess in the pics as I'm in the process of making a batch of barrels for a wristwatch 🙃.   This is the Sixis. The head can also be placed vertically, as can the dividing spindle.   Dividing plates. The smaller ones fit another dividing spindle.   Universal divider for the Sixis. I put it together with parts from an odd Sixis spindle that takes w20 collets, like the Schaublin 102, and a dividing attachment from a Schaublin mill.     The dividing attachment for the 102. The gear fits in place of the handwheel at the back of the headstock.   And the little milling attachment for the WW lathe. I just set it on the slide rest to illustrate the size, you can see from the dust on it it really doesn't get used much. I think only when I change bearing in the head, to kiss the collet head seat (grinding wheel still in the milling attachment).

      Opinions on Seiko's 4R and 6R movement quality from those more able to judge

      By SidKop · Posted

      I read a lot about the quality (or lack thereof) of Seiko's 4R, 6R, 8L  movements...or more specifically the lack of regulation from the factory. Especially when compared to similar priced manufactures using SW200's or ETA's. I thought I'd ask those more in the know, do the 4R's and 6R's deserve their bad reputation, is it fairly easy for someone with minimal skills (or better yet a trained watch mechanic) to dial in these movements to a more acceptable performance.    For background I spent more on a 1861 Speedy years ago, expecting that the advertised 0-15s/d  would probably perform more like 5-7s/d. In reality it's been closed to 2-4s/d.
