Found this wonderful Seiko 7625-8021 Sea Horse at a local estate sale for real cheap and had to snag it. It has the usual light wear and tear, but nothing that bad or that can't be buffed. The original band was busted on it unfortunately, missing the clasp, so I tossed on a temporary band (the only one I had that would fit it). It started ticking away right when I picked it up and so far has kept perfect time over the last 8 hours. After a few more practice watches I will attempt at giving this one a thorough cleaning, until then it may stay in the case to prevent running it dry for too long.

 

Now for some pictures.

I appreciate it. I attempted to throw it on my "Timegrapher" aka the Watch Tuner Timegrapher app on my ipad with a mic to see how it was doing.  I honestly have no idea how accurate the app is, I am guessing it is not terribly accurate just using a stock headphone mic catching all the surrounding noise but this is what I got from it. 58afa5b576669_Seikotimegraph.thumb.png.f801e2d37cf038e1c538ee4f23a08478.png

Not the prettiest but my setup isn't exactly the most accurate setup either.

I also like it.  

Don't try to regulate it until it has been properly cleaned and oiled, you may well find that it runs perfectly after without much or any adjustment.

    • interesting video nice to see the machine what it can do now I wonder what it costs and I'm sure it's not in my budget. Plus the video brought up questions but the website below answers the questions? What was bothering me was the size of his machine 4 mm because I thought it was bigger than that? But then it occurred to me that maybe they had variations it looks like four, seven and 10. With the seven and 10 being the best because way more tool positions in way more rotating tools. Although I bet you all the rotating tools are probably separate cost https://www.tornos.com/en/content/swissnano   Then as we been talking about Sherline. Just so that everyone's aware of this they have another division their industrial division where you can buy bits and pieces. I have a link below that shows that just in case you don't want to have the entire machine you just need bits and pieces. https://www.sherline.com/product-category/industrial-products-division/   Let's see what we can do with the concept I explained up above and bits and pieces. For one thing you can make a really tiny gear very tiny like perhaps you're going to make a watch. Then another version the center part is not separate it is all machined from one piece. Then fills gear cutting machines have gone through multiple of evolutions. A lot of it based on what he wanted to make like he was going to make a watch unfortunately eyesight issues have prevented that. Another reason why you should start projects like this much sooner when your eyesight is really good or perhaps start on watches first and then move the clocks then local we have from the industrial division? Looks like two separate motors and heads. Then it's hard to see but this entire thing is built on top of a much larger milling machine as a larger milling machine gave a very solid platform to build everything.   Then like everything else that had multiple generations are versions the indexing went through of course variations like above is one version and the one below was the last version. Now the version below I mentioned that previously and somewhere in the beginning to discussion and somebody else had one in their picture. As it is a really nice precision indexing. Then I wasn't sure if I had a the watch photos here is his unfinished watch. No he wasn't going to make a simple watch like none of his clocks were simply either what would be the challenge and that.    
    • Use a Portwest Howie lab coat. They are the biological type so they have tapped cuffs so you don't end up getting the loose cuffs of normal lab coats catching everything. 
    • Some of the Chinese tools ae great and can be purchased at a fraction of the price of Swiss ones, some are complete garbage and some I'm convinced are coming out the same factory as the branded ones.
    • I found this string about this problem. I've not gone through it all, but I believe it also mentions making a spring. If not in this string, the info is online.
    • No, I now realise it’s broken😥 ive looked for one online, but v. Expensive! im going to service as is, in the hope that  one turns up. Thank  you.
