Hi

I've got a pretty nice Seiko 7005 2000, a large 17 jewel automatic, that needs some attention. One of the items missing is the crown, and I'm having trouble finding a replacement. Does anyone know the part number for this models crown, and where I could get one? I've asked a seller on Ebay who has lots of Seiko crowns, but he says he doesn't have this one. Failing that, does anyone have one and can give me the dimensions of the crown, height, width/diameter etc? From the photos I've seen it's meant to sit almost flush with the case and the only gold plated ones I have sit proud. Thanks

Cousins say the part number is 40N27NN1 - should have checked there first really. Doesn't help though as they say it is obsolete and I've not turned anything up on a quick search with that number.

There is some guy on SCWF that has a lot of crowns . Have you checked with him? BigV86 or something like that? 

have you checked that cousiinsuk says right. According to jules borel you should have a crown http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=X\wF]bvF

I think the are more right? 

If so you could use a AM crown for a 6139-6012. As they share the same crown. 

If you can't find an original crown that is? I think you can? 

 

Forget i see now that it's the gold version you are looking for?

Thanks for your help, but I'm thoroughly confused now. Cousins have one part number, 40N27NN1, and Jules Borel have two different part numbers, 40M16MS1 and 40N27NA1 - all for the same item!

I don't think I'd order from Jules Borel anyway as last time I tried to open an account they said minimum order was $100 and then never responded further.

As you suggested I think I'll try SCWF. Thanks

40M16MS1 is the stainless steel version . The other 40N27NA1 is for the gold double version. The one cousinsuk have is probably a version that also work. Very similar. 

I think the number is the size? 40 is 4 mm in diameter? 27 maybe the width? And the letters is which color or if it's stainless or gold and so on?

    • 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.
    • Actually, this could be the issue. Drag from the module could be overcoming the cannon pinion. It was definitely not at the point that the driving wheel was loose on the cannon pinion, it took a little bit of effort to rotate it when applying the grease. Maybe I need to look again at applying oil to the pivots.    Yeah, it's very annoying. I don't want to give up on it, so back on with it over again until I catch a break. 
    • The sping is not pushing directly on the cap, but is pushing against the spindle. So, even if the usual black cap is replaced with the micrometer cap, the spindle is still pushed up.
    • But he tells that the micrometer cap doesn't screw into the spindle. How can the spring push the spindle up if there's nothing to grip? There is a screw visible on top of the micrometer cap so should it be able to screw into the spindle? I'm feeling really dumb now. Does anyone manufacture that cap as an aftermarket item? Might be worth investing. Ok so the spindle is different, now I get it.
