Seiko 7N42

[dambuster6178]

Hi i have just started this exciting hobby and have a Seiko 7N42 so i,ve deceided to strip it down,but have stumbled already I cant se to get the back off I presume because of lack of screws it is a pop off back but cant seem to find the lug to pry it off either. Tried scouring the web for info but there dosn,t seem to be much info out there.

Hopefully someone on here will have an idea Many thanks

What is the complete model name? Seiko 7N42-xxxx

There are several models of Seiko 7N42, and depending on the correct model name, the case back may be either a screw down, or a "pop off" as you call it.

Please post pictures when exposing problems. Also, to work on watches you will need various specialized tools, e.g case holder, Jaxa tools, case knife etc. You can start up buying a cheap kitt.

Can't see the picture but it's a snap case so you'll have to go at it with razor blade or x-acto knife first, then regualr case knife..
