Citizen Bezel Gasket Repair


Recommended Posts

Hello all! I have a Citizen eco drive I have been cleaning up, and have lost the gasket to the bezel (our cat found it to be a toy). I am wondering where do I look for this hard plastic gasket? I have been on few sites for parts. Not sure if it's something specific, or can I use another type of gasket to press this back on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try contacting Citizen directly via their website:

http://www.citizenwatch.com/eco-drive/support/service/

More manufacturers are requiring you to send them watches for service, obviously to charge you more for the repair. Plead you case nicely and they might send you one, but no guarantees they will.

Is there a local watchmaker who might be able to order it for you? Sometimes mfg's will only with deal with watch repair facility. Plus added cost of having watch repair person buy it, I would not expect them to do it for free.

I did quick web search on "citizen eco drive bl5400-52a parts" but didn't find anything worthy. Unless you had precise measurements of original gasket, might be tough to match.  I know it's not much help.

Nice watch worthy of your efforts BTW, not a nice cat! :)

I could check it with caliper. I do have ability to measure it, just cannot find the part. Where I live there is no watch makers or repair guys. I have been going through this one myself and brushing the stainless back out and replaced the crystal, but cannot find that gasket to be able to press watch back together.

I can look through some parts that I have.  It will take a day or two, though... If you could get the measurements, it would help.  If there is a case number in the back of the watch, it would help, also.  Who knows... we just might find a gasket for you.

    • You know it H Ours was scrapped early 60s. Nothing wrong with joining the army H , i would have love the physical and discipline side of it, but i can't follow or be lead by numpties.
    • That's exactly why you need to exercise, or you'll meet with an untimely death! 😉 Well, good thing you weren't born in my neck of the woods then as you would have no choice. Back in the day when it was time for my service (early 80s) this small country could mobilize 800,000 soldiers in a few days, and mobilization supplies with modern weapons and munitions were everywhere and we had an air force second to none. Then beginning in the 90s it was scrapped because our politicians decided that Russia would become a Western democracy. In discussions with colleagues, friends and acquaintances where I mentioned I thought it was imprudent to scrap our capacity for self-defense, I was laughed at. I wonder if anyone of those people would laugh today.
    • Hi there, first time for me to ask for help since I joined the forum. I’m working on a Seiko 6138-0040 for a friend. I’ve already done a few 6138B’s, so not completely new to me. This one is a bit different, with lots of gremlins. Sheared off dial feet screw, case back ring missing, movement glued in the case etc. On top of that, on of the eccentrics  also sheared off when trying to adjust the hour recording wheel stop lever spring.  On the parts list, there is only 1 mention of an eccentric, namely the 823.619. Unfortunately it is unclear if it is  the one I need, or if it’s the eccentric for the hour hammer..  If it is the right one, I can order one from Cousins, if not I probabely have to source a main plate.  Does anybody know which eccentric the 823.619 is? Thanks so much!
