Why did i add a "C" who knows not I. I do like yours was it of the bay and if it was why didn't I see it.

Bought it from a forum member from a Swedish watch forum. Couldn't resist as a like this old quartz watches.

Cleaned, oiled, face lightly cleaned I didn't want overdo it I

wanted to keep some of its age case lightly polished. Only

Problem I had was the stem I think it and the crown have been

replaced at some point it was a bugger to get out but got

There in the end. Original strap has been waxed and polished.

I'm happy with the end result and have another great watch in

my collection to wear and enjoy.

      Simeon from Down Under

      By Simeon · Posted

      Hi,   My name is Simeon I am based in Sydney, Australia and have recently got into watch repair / watch making.  I am very much a learner having serviced multiple forgotten watches, some of which were actually successful!   I have a slowly growing collection of watches, mainly old Soviet, a few Japanese and (not pictured) some Raketas, a Poljot Alarm, an Omega Speedmaster Reduced and a vintage (1972) Tissot Seastar.  I like unloved vintage watches, with quirky faces and enjoy bringing them back to life through the simple(!) act of disassembly, clearing and reassembly. I am an Electrical Engineer who also undertook a trade apprenticeship so I am reasonably handy - It's fair to say, I know just enough to get myself in trouble.

      Seiko kinetic generator coil

      By DonEilenberger · Posted

      Sorry to reopen a necro-thread (long dormant) - I have a Seiko Kinetic 5M42A that needs at least one coil, possibly both. Anyone know of any sources?  The usual fallback of eBay has failed me - there are people selling coils, but not the ones for this movement (which was apparently a very popular movement, used in Seiko and Pulsa branded watches.) The coil numbers are: 4002 516,  and 4002 519 I'd also love to find a source for spares of the screws used all over this movement - they're Seiko PN 0022 247 Thanks! (Moderator - if this should be a new thread, please do feel free to tell me, or drag this one into a new thread.) Don Eilenberger

      First pendulum clock tinker

      I didn't take it apart until after you kindly explained its function! In fact mine doesn't work exactly the same way as described in the link OH provided in that it's not the whole block that moves but just the internal spring & its support. However, the 'franken-spring' I've cobbled together pending the right one turning up is, it seems, too thick to slip through the join in the two halves of the block as the mechanism is activated....
