Seiko hands?


Recommended Posts

Stripped this down for a friend today and the centre of the second hand has pulled out, the collet on the centre of it has been tightened before and is and is a bit of a mess.

The second hand needs replacing, I rang seiko and it's a 6 week back order for the part. 

I dont normally work on seiko Watch's so am not sure where else to try to source one faster than seiko UK can supply it and didn't really want to wait 6 weeks.

I wondered if anyone could suggest anywhere in the UK I might get a white second hand exactly the same as this one in the picture!

I have sent him a message on eBay, thanks.

Doesn't look like cousins have one, although I hate using their website off a phone and might of just not found one  but thanks for the suggestion.

Even if from a popular model is not guaranteed at all you can find it easily. Try asking Dagaz or Yobokies if they have one left from mods.

Or place a replacement hand and have him come back when you have it.

    • Not a family member, and yes, it no way near as good, as some information got lost from original site and some information got incorrectly copied. The original site is available as iOS app here: https://apps.apple.com/fi/app/ranfft-watch-movements-archive/id6502008939
    • Outstanding, Marc! Your information is really helpful and clears this up, especially given that yours were purchased as sets. Thanks, man. So, it appears I jumped the gun on this one, but I am relieved. I will say, though, that all of my reamers and concave pushers are number-stamped and appear to be of better quality.  Also, the bayonets on my pushers are actually the same color as the steel.  The next thing to do is restore the heads of these pushers with some polishing paper.  Alex at the Watch Repair channel has a nice little video on this.   I appreciate your help!

    • Just installed it on my iPhone (my only iOS device) and it appears to be intact and functional. I may have to go out and buy myself an ipad just for this app.
    • I have two Seitz sets, one ancient (with the 3mm anvils) and one just old (with 4mm anvils) plus a collection of spare pushers of assorted vintage. Not one of them is marked with it's size. Something which I have found very irritating when I have been using the tool and not returning pushers to their correct place in the tray every time as it means that I have to get the calipers out and measure them. These were bought as sets and collectively I have over 100 pushers so it would seem highly unlikely (if not inconceivable) that they are all cheap knock offs, especially as they are old enough to pre-date the prevalence of the Chinese knock off industry (at least as applied to watch making tools). I therefore believe them to be original Seitz parts. And there is no numbering. The shape of the bottom of the pump pushers is the same as your photo. The only thing that may not be the same is that the slotted insert (looks like a screw but is in fact a bayonet) should be brass. Yours looks the same colour as the steel but that could just be the lighting.
