Hi Max,

 

Here is all I could find: http://thewatchspotblog.com/?p=210

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

 

PS. Since you already have the parts sheet...

Hi Bob,

 

Thanks for that it is very helpful, I have already dismantled the movement with plenty of photos, though without a tech sheet it is flying blind as to the order of removal, I just start at the top and keep digging.

Don't know if this will be of any help to you. It's just a few shots of disassembly and rebuild and I think a few steps might not be covered but they might provide some useful reference.

Thanks, just had a look that is very handy gives a good reference to check against.

That site came in very handy Bob, I was reassembling the dial side this morning, when I got it I couldn't turn the hands to align them for removal, doing the keyless works still had the same problem, so I checked one of the photos in that post and found the cause - the end broken off the setting lever spring, not immediately noticeable when you are not familiar with the movement.

Unfortunately this is a common weakness/fault with many watches. I have looked through my stash of Seiko parts but know luck might be worth emailing Steve.

He has come up trumps many times for me.

check out these two eBay listings, they may be of help.

Also this guy has loads of NOS Seiko spares. I don't think that he has everything listed so probably worth contacting him. I've dealt with him before and been very happy.

The first eBay listing has the part I want, but would be 3 times more expensive than Cousins. It surprises me what you can turn up from them at times.

    • Interesting interpretation of "traditional". I would say that Loctite is definitely the up-to-date and appropriate stuff to use, however, it is a relatively modern solution. Before the advent of such esoteric solutions I believe that the "traditional" thread locker of choice may well have been a sugar solution. Once applied the water would evaporate and the sugar would crystalise, locking the threads tight.
    • @steve1811uk close but no cigar 🙂 I don't smoke anyway. I checked in my stock of parts and that's the closest I got to your dimensions. Good luck in your search. @RichardHarris123 I have an accumulation of all sorts of odds and ends that I acquired as a result of buying up the tail ends of old watchmakers estates. Usually after all of the great stuff has been stripped out, which means that the sweepings off of the workshop floor can be had for peanuts, but if you have the patience, can often be found to contain gold (both literally and figuratively 🙂 ). These came to me through on of those purchases. I doubt that I will personally be able to make use of even 10% of my accumulated stock, but having it, and knowing what I have, means that I can at least pass bits on to those who can use it whenever possible.
    • Hi and thank-you for your suggestions, as per Mark's instructions I checked my browser "Safari" and spell check and grammar was not ticked. So all sorted. Thanks CJ  
    • As an alternative, clear nail Polish, the advantage is you can have a manicure at the same time. 
    • I use Grammarly. It works really well and If English is not your first language, you will also receive help with formulations. There is a free version that covers most of my needs. It installs as a plug-in and works with all browsers and word processors.
