Here is my 1992 Seiko Daytona, it's the 7t32-7g20. When first purchased it came with the usual stainless oyster bracelet, serial number 48A2-G-1, and was supplied together with the leather strap to use as an alternative. It's quite thick and beautifully made.

I've tried everywhere to find out more about the leather strap, such as serial number.

Has this become the holy grail of Seiko straps? Does anyone know of another?

I would love to find a new bezel for the watch. Unfortunately the current Seiko supply does not look the same with its narrower insert and narrower decal.

I don't think you can find the original strap or bezel. You can fit any other strap that you like and have the bezel polishee.

Never seen a Seiko strap like that.

Looks like a pilot strap that someone has stamped Seiko Z22 inside.

Z22 is normally used on dive straps.

Boley nor SSA certainly don't list an alternative strap other than the SS one you already have.

What's wrong with bezel/insert?

I see two different part numbers for bezel

86312684 (boley)

and

86312685 (seiko service australia)

Seiko has apparently done some strange things in there production, Marketing etc...I have never seen a Seiko strap like that one.

They were issued together with the rubber dive strap or the stainless steel oyster. Extremely rare.

The bezel has a deep scratch at about the 40 minute index, that's why Im replacing it. I'm fussy like that. I'll keep the original though.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      Thanks for sharing @rehajm! It will be really interesting to see what I find once I get the time to continue the disassembly. I wouldn't be surprised if the broken setting wheel isn't the only part that will have to be replaced/repaired.

      No dial feet?

      I've some across a lot of brand watches like these that just use dial dots to secure.

      OK, so you don't know how much of the alum you put in how much water then?

      No dial feet?

      By GPrideaux · Posted

      I've been given a small Accurist quartz ladies watch to have a look at. It was reported as not working, and hand been in a drawer for a number of years. I noticed before opening it that the hands were misaligned: the minute hand was at about 20 to the hour, but the hour hand was at about quarter past nine. When I opened it, I found the dial turned freely. Immediately thinking broken dial feet, I removed the dead battery and the hands and the dial came straight off. I half expected to find the dial feet stuck in the movement, but instead I found no evidence of dial feet at all ... as in it appears it never had dial feet. Instead the dial appears to have been secured with dots of adhesive that are no longer sticky enough to do their job. There are a couple of coppery spots on the back of the dial, but they don't correspond with holes on the movement that could support dial feet. So, first, is this a thing, where some watches were sold with adhesive instead of dial feet? If so, what adhesive would be appropriate to use to replace what is there that has lost its tack? If not, I'll have to assume that the movement was replaced at some time with one that didn't match the feet on the dial, and the person who did the repair removed the dial feet and replaced them with adhesive dots. I can see what appear to be holes for feet on the movement. Should I try to make new dial feet on those positions on the dial? Would that be best practice here?

      Hi everyone, I wanted to quickly introduce myself to the forum here from London England. I have started repairing watches over a month ago, and I have used this forum continuously, but covertly, through every step of the process over the 10, or so, watches that I have done so far. I love the forum and it seems like a great community of people that I am very excited to join. I have yet to find a question that has not already been answered over the years in all the subforums here, so I don't have any real reason to be joining apart from just really enjoying the content as a whole. Until I come up with a question for the group or my partner tells me that I am not allowed to waste anymore money on watch tools, it is great to be here, and I look forward to receiving your guidance and advice in the future.
