Hello Peeps I fancy doing a Seiko diver project but I have no idea which movement to use face, case ETC. Which do you have the best chance of finding parts for. I've seen a few on our friend "THE WATCH COLLECTORS" bay site but a little guidance is needed.

Thanks Mick

Hi Mick,

Why not a Citizen diver watch project with and 8200 type movement? That would break the mold and be an excellent walkthrough at the same time! He has some too, the watch collector.

Cheers,

Bob

PS. Or an Orient diver, movement 46941 type which is not too far from Seiko as Orient is half owned by them?

O Ramon .  The  man how has a hidden treasure somewhere i the philippines:) . I would look for a 6309 if you would like to work on something older? Otherwise is a 7002 diver  a good and solid movement? Same problems as the other movements but a real workhorse? I think it's easier to find dials and hands and such thing for the 7002-7001 then the the 6309-7040 or 7049. SKX007 and 009 are a great modders . If you like that.

Also, in a pinch, I believe they all accept a brand new NH36 which has manual wind in addition to the traditional auto and hack seconds....but then there won't be anything to fix and the fun will stop there! :)

So much to look at I'm trying to find a good casted one to start with one I don't have to buff the life out of but also a movement I can fit a nice bright dial to maybe orange or blue but black and red are nice too then there's the bezel orange Pepsi black there's too much choice .

Ha, ha, and you haven't heard what endeavor has to say about Russian watches! He is in heaven tinkering with them...everything is interchangeable (almost) and no matter what case, you can swap back and forth, use custom stuff, very cheap stuff, and...it is a new world for Dr. Frankenstein! :)

I'm tempted to go that route next!!! But, well, OK, back to Seiko!

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      All watches are repairable a few oven duff tools knowledge skills. But I was just agreeing that it be easier to get a movement.

      About repair watch's jewel.

      By jhoho202 · Posted

      First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?

      Parts sourcing for FHF 180 movement

      I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. And often swapped parts are not the expected solution of all problems. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank

      Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.

      I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.
