Hi all. So as a 40th present from my dad i was given a voucher for a watch.

 

I was torn between the blue sunburst dial or the green bezel. I think i made the right choice.

 

One reason for the choice was the movement. Based on the ETA 2824 with my limited knowledge a really solid movement.

 

See for your self ;)

Very Nice . You can't go wrong with a movement based on the ETA 2824...........

I don't really mod my watches , but I put a green bezel insert on this Seiko 7S26 and not only do I like it , but I have received a few compliments and offers to buy it .... The double dome sapphire crystal with a blue tint is nice too .

Love the green. Much more vibrant than mine ;) is that an aftermarket part or did they produce it in a model?

Aloha Gingerr6 , 

  Both the Bezel insert and the crystal are AM parts . Seiko had the Black or Pepsi bezel on most of their divers at that time . At some time they offered a blue dial and bezel option . The rest of the watch is original .

I had just installed the DD saphire crystal on these 3 Seiko Divers and sent some pics to the vender for their gallery of customers watches .

BTW , I don't have an Oris watch yet , and something like yours would be a nice addition , especially with that workhorse movement . You said "based on the ETA 2924"  . So which movement is in your watch ?  Is it the Chinese version ??

Yes full swiss movement. sellita started producing the 200 series. These are identical to the 2824 with the addition of an extra jewel. (i think) ;)

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Waggy · Posted

      Maybe I'm over simplifying this and I'm a little late to the discussion, but just by my looking at oil when I use it on a treated cap jewel  the oil stays in one nice bubble, but when I don't it spreads out to the edges of the jewel. I'm not sure (but could well be wrong) but the analogy of a waxed car and rain is accurate in this case, the wax is very hydrophobic and repels the water, however, the process epilame works by is a different physical process based upon cohesion/adhesion (oleophilic) not repulsion (oleophobic)  at least as far as I have read/observed. If one were to use a oleophobic substance equivalent to wax (hydrophobic) then one would need to create a donut shape to fence in the oil, however if one used such a strategy with a epilame which is oleophilic then the oil would sit on the ring of the donut and not in the 'donut hole', exactly where you don't want it. Even if the oil is smeared then the oleophilic epilame should pull it back to the center (see diagram below). Reference For interest the chemical in epilame is 2-(PERFLUOROHEXYL) ETHYL METHACRYLATE, CAS NO: 2144-53-8

      Looks lint the teeth on the hour wheel aren't meshing with the teeth on the calendar intermediate wheel, maybe the hour wheel is sitting on top of this instead of meshing?

      If the oil drop was freely standing on an epilame treated cap jewel it could easily slide off if you knocked the watch hard but the balance pivot keeps it in place.

      Latest 404 is this Baron which has a copy of a Seiko 66B movement in it, handy when I needed to find a replacement setting lever. Apart from the setting lever, crown, stem and new crystal (original was cracked) the watch is original. Finished result:
