Nice collection. I'm an old boy so I don't like quartz. Two I like are the Zenith and the Lanco there what I call proper watches. :D

Thanks Oldhippy, I agree with you, I still prefer the mechanical to quartz, that's why my next purchase is a Citizen Signature Grand Classic Automatic, getting an amazing deal on it, almost 40% off regular price.

Nice Zenith and Lanco...

While  I prefer mechanical watches over battery powered watches , I seem to have so many of them Including a Citizen  Blue Angels Eco-Drive Radio controlled chronograph .

Because , as I later found out , we don't receive the radio signals in Hawaii , I picked up a Citizen F-100 Satellite controlled watch so I can see the hands and date wheel go round with the signal....

    • Yes, it looks like GT Revue 30. Doctor, You can not replace escape wheel by the dimensions You listed. One needs to know much more things like number of leaves of the pinion and it's diameter, the position in high of the table and the pinion, the hight between the pivots, the exact pivots diameter... And then, even if suitable wheel is found, one will need to know how to adjust the pallets position correctly. Restoring antique movements is something different than replacing parts. In older movements parts are not interchangeable, this means spare parts do not exist. Here the case is different, but still escapement adjustment will be needed if a wheel from a donor is found. So may be it will be easier to restore the donor for You...Restoring antique movements usually means making of the parts needed and this requires knowlage and working on lathes skill. In this case repivoting of the wheel is the natural solution, but there is a long way that one must walk untill getting ready for such work.
    • I was looking at Essence of Renata, a chemical used a lot for cleaning hairsprings: "Specially prepared solution for degreasing watch and instrument components. Indispensable for degreasing hairsprings." Looking at the MSDS you can see this is just pure n-Heptane, so could be an option for those who don't want to use the chlorocarbons or hexane?     HF6013 - Horological Essence COSHH Safety Data Sheet Horological Essence_0.pdf
    • Welcome from a fellow Seiko enthusiast, there are lots of us on this forum.
    • Nickelsilver is right, movement diameter and keyless works ‘fingerprint’ are important for identifying movements. That said, this appears to be a 7 jewel version of the a Revue 30 movement.  A quick search with google turns up parts movements, and individual parts should be quite easy to come by.  Hope that helps, Mark
