Is there a retaining ring missing on this watch?

59B4AAE1-9DB9-4790-869E-0036D9D44ED5_zps

The movement seems lose inside the case and the rotor sounds like it scrapes the back of the case it ticks and doesn't stop until I put the back on and you can see it drops in the case

Does anyone know the part number that's mission or if there is a screw missing? Face done she keeps great time but not much use to me that way!

Looks like there should be a ring to me... But I've just looked at a similar automatic movement - there's no ring there and it has a similar perimeter gap to yours...

Yes you do it's part no. 8720.2930, Cousins are due to get them back in stock from 2nd July.

 

Coincidentally, a friend of mine broke the mainspring on his Rolex last week. When he went to Cousins to get a replacement he also discovered that he has to wait until July before it's in stock. Perhaps they only order at particular times of the year.

I have had split deliveries from Cousins and they didn't charge extra delivery.

 

Indeed - with split deliveries they always send via the method you first chose. So if you chose RMSD they will ship the first package via RMSD (which costs the best part of £8) and the follow-up delivery also via RMSD but they eat the cost of delivery of the second parcel.

 

I received a back-ordered glass which cost £0.70 via RMSD a while back which amused me!

this morning from cousins popped straight in and voila it's working again just need some spring bars and I will pop it on this mesh I got for £2.95!?!! How on earth can they make it at that price and what kind of mark up must some companies make on their bracelets!!

Anyway I must have had the last one but this has been a successful week! I also picked up a bracelet for this cheepy which I think works well when compared to the rubber it was on

Put together it looks good, from the eBay description I wasn't sure what I was getting

'watch starts and runs for long spells then stops so maybe need a service or oiled , lovely condition , glass , bezel and dial , bezel turns freely does not click and crown screws down nice and tight , therefore spares or repairs'

I thought there might have been à bit of grit/dirt in the watch causing it to stop so chanced my arm and got it for £30 when it arrived it clearly ran well face down but the movement moved around, so thanks to this forum I found the correct retaining ring from cousins for £1.50 and a £2.95 mesh bracelet and voila a fully working classic seiko diver for under £40 to say i am chuffed is an understatement!!

I by chance found the previous 2 listings of this watch on eBay (same serial number and both times sold for under £35) this one won't be going anywhere for a while!!

      Stem broken - can it be rescued?

      By watchfellow · Posted

      I think that a 814/825 stem would work, there are a lot of compatible parts between these.

      Venus 178 hour counter creep

      By watchfellow · Posted

      Hi everyone, I put together a Venus 178 recently, but found that the hour counter "creeps" ie. runs when the chrono is disengaged. This is the similar type of setup as the Omega 861, where the hour counter is driven off the mainspring barrel, but stopped when the chrono is disengaged by a friction spring.  Am I correct in assuming that the friction spring for the hour counter driving pinion should be dry? I am guessing that the issue will be either the spring or the driving pinion, but while the driving pinion has some wear the spring looks decent.  I've attached a couple of photos in case anyone has any tips. Thanks in advance!

      Setting power reserve on LeCoultre Futurematic

      By watchfellow · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems setting the hand is a bit of a guessing game, and I thought there would be a very specific way to do it. Since the reserve indicator hand moves clockwise as the spring is wound, I tried setting it right at the start of the black side. But setting it there doesn't really make sense, because by the time the spring is halfway wound, the hand is only at the end of the red side... In my head halfway wound shouldn't mean the hand is still "in the red."

      Intro

      Lovely part of the country! I spend most of my days driving along the A64 for work in and around York. I'll be sure to drop plenty of questions soon! I've actually got a couple of watches on the way that I'm pretty sure I'll need some help with! They look pretty beat up from the pics but I love a challenge and an excuse to buy more tools 🤣

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By oldhippy · Posted

      I have two of these in my home. You need to remove the movement from the case, take off the hands and remove the dial and take a few good photos of the front plate so I can see what the problem is. The round nut unscrews and the hands pull off pull them off from the center and not the tips as you could break them.
