The confusion might be coming from the Seiko Auto only winds in one direction (I think clockwise)

No, it's a bi-directional system, refer to following picture.

There's no confusion, we were all saying the same thing.

Just to finish off I can't remember any of the cal I worked on. I'd be surprised if the ones you have mentioned were about back in the 70's and 80's, my history of Seiko watches is none existent. :DA good discussion all round.  

Production dates for 51xx series movements were between 1967 and 1971.

56xx series movements between 1968 and 1978.

I believe though that the main thrust of Seiko's marketing campaign, at least in the UK, was directed towards their lower end watches. You don't see too many LordMatic's around, and I think that Grand Seiko's have only ever been aimed at the Japanese domestic market, so it's quite likely that a lot of watchmakers didn't encounter them.

LordMatic's though, if you spot them, are well worth a punt. They are excellent watches and (at least in my view) are somewhat underrated. You can get a hell of a lot of watch for your money.

      No John, we don't want Mark to change anything, we are just scared of losing a brilliant forum and losing contact with each other.  As pointed out, this forum is full of knowledge and I for one,  consider the regulars friends. I would hate to lose contact with you and the others.   PS, this forum is really important to me.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      one little minor problem with your chemistry experiment here which is what exactly is epilam? In other words is it an exact substance with the chemical you specify or is it a term? For instance originally it was steric acid either dissolved in some sort of solvent or it was applied by vaporizing it. Then now it's all kinds of different things the watch companies all have different ideas there's a whole bunch of patents. So is not always an exact substance.   let me snip out a image from the patent that I attached up above. Notice I highlighted something it seems to disagree with your evaluation.

      Pocket watch escape wh

      I guess You had to try, as it would be hard to sleep without that try, but, I know the result before the experiment... As I told before, the friction will be so big that the wheel will not turn. The pivots have to be thin and polished - the bigger the number of the wheel (2th, 3gh, 4th...), the thinner the pivot. What You are trying to do is possible, but forming the new thin pivot must be done on lathe. Thus the wheel will get shorter, but can have new pivot without the drilling for normal standard repivoting. Then piece of brass can be soldered under the pivot hole in the bridge and new hole drilled in it to form the new bearing.  Well, this way is not the recommended one, not quite correct, but it is possible to do for the excersize... When I say lathe, lathe may be verry simple, someting like turns, but made of what one has in reach of his hands. If You want to try, I will try to guide

      yes by all means let's gather up our weapons tar feathers find the nearest tree in case Mark is not agreeable to our terms on our demands and storm his Castle. I don't quite understand what you're trying to do here? In other words you want Mark to somehow guarantee that the group will live on forever no matter what? You want Mark to somehow change his business model of what is trying to do or should we just take the group away from him? oh and is quite possible that Mark never realized that his discussion group would take on a life of its own. That the members of the group would like to continue on forever.

      Second hand watch market.

      I'm not sentimental, I see it this way.  I inherit something I  don't like, I could sell it, buy something I do like and remember the person with the new item.  For example, I  inherit a watch ( I haven't), I don't like it, I  buy a watch I do like, every time I look at the watch, I think of the person.
