Thanks, I'll look into this a bit further. For now, as I'm still waiting for a new mainspring, I started assembly with the keyless works. First, I still need to disassemble the canon pinion A scalpel slid between the parts and it came apart easily. Through the cleaning machine again.. Then 9504 on the shaft and a bit on the base Pushed together on a hard flat surface with hand setting pushers. The excess 9504, I'm removing with Rodico. Oiling posts with HP1300 (wider parts, top and bottom). Canon pinion and minute wheel need to go on at the same time. A bit fiddly. I add a tiny tiny drop of HP1300 on the elevated ring below the minute wheel (red arrow). More posts, HP1300. Note that the elevated ring on the plate has no purpose. The wheel goes on with the bigger side up. Remember that the rounded side goes downwards. Post for the rocking bar, HP1300, small amount, careful spread around the post. Oiling the riveted wheel on the rocking bar is a bit tricky. There's not enough space for even my smallest oiler to really get in-between... so I use a scalpel. A bit messy. Rodico for some cleaning. The three positions of the rocking bar. 1. Time setting, 2. Winding, 3. Setting the hour on the second time zone. Cover plate on. On now moving to the train side of the keyless works (interesting and unusual design). 9504 greasing of sliding/winding pinion and stem Positioning is straight forward 9504 also here. Distributing it by turning the stem. Lubricating edges of rocking bar and setting lever spring with 9504. Honestly, positioning the setting lever was very fiddly. I tried various positions of the rocking bar and I'm not sure which one finally worked.... Securing setting lever with screw and then the stop operating lever. Greasing (9504) the touching points with the hacking lever, then removing excess with fresh Rodico. Placing seat for yoke. Note that there's a top/bottom side. If it doesn't place easily, don't force it, just turn around. Carefully spreading 9504 around the hole of the yoke (since this doesn't turn 360°, I make the effort to spread it out). After positioning and securing the yoke, I also observe and grease the touching point between yoke and hacking lever. That concludes the keyless works. -

I guess it's a Seiko Galaxy. Not much information here, but this is a great list of Seiko subbrands : https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/seiko-branding-dictionary.209014/ . -
Hi All, I’ve been playing around with this movement and am starting to get familiar with working with the tools. So far I have taken apart and reassembled the keyless works without losing anything - so pretty happy with that! I bought a cheap case, dial and hands when I got the movement, hoping to make a watch out of the parts after I’d learnt how to service the movement. Jumping the gun, I decided to try and put the watch together just to see if I could. At first I thought it was going OK and I got the hands on but the problem I’m having is that the dial won’t stay on and is loose. I can see that the dial screws are cam shaped but they don’t seem to catch the dial feet properly. I guess either the dial feet are too narrow, or maybe I’ve managed to bend them, or perhaps I’ve managed to bugger-up the screws by overturning them. Does anyone have any suggestions about what a possible fix might be? Thanks, Bill
