I just acquired this Seiko 5   6119 "Sushi Roll "  watch .  It is a sought after  piece for those that collect Seikos .

I have missed the winning bid on 2 of these in the past .  The seller said it is in VG condition and only wore it to 2 weddings and was stored for the rest of the time he owned it .

 

The first 2 attached pics are the sellers and the 3rd is from the internet .

I just checked with a Seiko expert friend of mine about this watch and he told me that it is actually a reissue . The originals are rare and even the reissues go for a good sum .  I had checked on this model just before I decided to go for the BIN offer price . With 21 hours to go and the bids at $121 already , I thought that the final bid would be at the BIN price anyway . I'm just pleased to have finally got one at a decent  price .

6119-7160

Serviced this one for a friend in 2012. It was indeed quite rare and fetches high price.

wow! it's a beautiful watch. very nice details - i really like the round applied indices.

i never used to care for the chunky seikos. i liked the divers and the hand winders....but lately i've been looking at (and acquiring) some "proof" actus and DX models. the cases are much like your sushi case. i've been looking at the ones with the gold cases (which are usually badly corroded) and trying to get them for cheap money. the dials are usually gold or browns. i then put them in stainless cases. the combination doesn't sound like it would work, but it does.

There is a seller on the bay [kidith]  , that has NOS Seiko cases with back and crysyal for a very good price . I have bought 2 and have been pleased with these new / old cases . I needed a Seiko crystal that I could not find , but I got a case and orig . crystal  for $19...you can't buy an original crystal for that .

 

Also Seiko Calibers 7005 ,'06 , and '09 are very nice and still affordable ......many of the parts are interchangeable  .

      AS 554 from 1930

      Nice interesting diver Razz, i have a sheffield dress watch, different movement altogether. Could be a wrong motion works part, how does the setting feel before fitting the cannon pinion, clutch and intermediate wheel meshing ok ?  The less traditional setting design could be suspect, the second wheel has a slip clutch assembly, that most likely needs looking at. LA is 42 ° Razz Tbh i  much prefer to call the complete unit the lever, then use the seperate names for all of its components. Such as guard pin, fork, fork horns, fork slot, lever arm, pallets , pallet arms, pallet slot, pallet stones. I suppose pallet fork is the combination of the two opposite ends that make up the lever, its also called the anchor which is descriptive of its appearance.  Its a pretty basic 1930s  swiss lever movement H and yes Nev was meaning the pallet fork.

      The pallet fork should really be called a lever, English lever, Swiss lever etc but most people including myself call it a pallet fork.

      Seiko 6309a diver crown replacement

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      Seiko have case numbers, I  can't see it on your photos.  If you can find that we can look for a genuine crown.  If not, you need to measure the diameter of the stem, the distance between the lugs and the depth of the lugs.  The case number will be something like this.

      I'm not sure what kind of movement this is, but I'm curious to know if you're using the word "lever" as a synonym for "pallet fork"?

      Actually kind of rough, maybe munute wheel pinion problems? Is the 2.73mm canion oinion which seems rarer and not availble on Cousins UK. The seconds hand works and suprising nice amplitude but don't know the lift angle and BE this one says 17 j but is a pin pallet as well. Cap jewels on the escape and drive train pivots. Interestingly in has both water proof and shock resistant on the caseback and dial. Puts this around 1969 or '70? The double bezel that works independently is cool has the pi symbol on each. Wonder if it can be used like a slide rule ir something...
