Great watches Seiko lots of bang for the buck, Huge but could you wear it all day in comfort, I have a Caesar which I love but after a day wearing it I have a red mark where the crown digs into my wrist.

It doesn't dig in at all, but is quite heavy.

I don't have a monster but I've thought about it. Observe the crown is at the 3.45 position so cant see why it would dig into the wrist. Assume it has a 7s movement?

Yes it's the good old 7s26, so when it comes to service time maybe I will be confident enough to do it myself.

Seems a tad large for your wrist size.

I do have small wrists and it is large but looks a lot bigger in the photo, maybe it's the angle. I had to get one I've got a thing about orange, not sure how long I will keep it for though.

Same here, I've quenched the thirst with an SKX017. But they aren't easy to find.

      Introduction

      By Randy55 · Posted

      Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Diagram for 6497 motion works

      By Jon · Posted

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
