Hi everyone, I am pretty new to watch repair and need to ask the forum a question (probably hundreds of questions really) anyway, I have a Seiko 6119 6400 that is running when shaken but is missing it's crown and winding stem. I was wondering if anyone can tell me where I may obtain these parts? Many thanks in advance. Johnnie

Take a look here. http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=SEK+CS%236119-6400&submit=Search

There you can see which parts you need. Finding them on Ebay and other places. 

You will need a special stem and gear for the inner bezel to work.

That is not easy to find. And will cost some money.

The gear for the inner bezel could still be in there? Then you will only need a new stem? Those i have seen on Ebay . Crown is the same as the Pogue. There is AM crowns that look almost like the original. Nice watch that is well worth restoring. Have done a few .

Hi again Rogart63, I have managed to obtain a new crown and winding stem (£50.00) not cheap but the watch looks awful without it. I am very new to watch repairing, the spring is still there so hopefully it just needs the crown and winding stem. Could you tell me if the stem simply pushes in, or is there more to fitting it than that? Any advice would be most welcome.

Ooops . That is in a way good? That means that the small gear the turns the bezel is probably there also. But that does also mean that the rest off the stem is still in the movement. And the movement needs to come out? Maybe just maybe you can take the stem out if you can grip it with something? At the same time as you press the release button on the movement. 

You will need to shorten the stem when you get it. Taking in that the date mechanism need to work when you press the crown in. Little tricky. 

But first get the old stem out. And we take it from there. 

First try to take the spring out? 

But well worth saving that watch

Thank you Very much Rogart63, I won't get the new stem until the 28th, looking at the watch I think you are right, I think I can see the end of the stem. I will attempt to remove it tomorrow in daylight as I struggle with artificial light. Many many thanks for your time and advice it is most welcome. Regards Johnnie

Hi Johnnie,

You say it runs when shaken? These watching cannot be hand wound (hence winding-stem is actually a misnomer), you need to shake it for about a minute to get a decent amount or mainspring power on it.

Having said that, if the crown has been missing for some time it would be best to service the movement as a lot of dirt can get in thru the hole.

Hi Anilv, I think you are probably right about servicing the movement, the problem is I don't think I have the skill and knowhow yet! I have a Seiko 6319 7010 that I have disassembled and oiled and hopefully on reassembly it will work,,,,,,,, maybe!  Johnnie

Think so to. But start with the stem and get that working? Then you have at least all the parts to make it complete? As you say. Service can be done later. When you have accomplised the skills to make the service. 6119 movement isn't that much different then the 6319 .

Hi, hopefully the stem and crown will arrive in the next few days? I am trying to find a diagram of the crown stem gear and spring assembly, the watch arrived without the crown etc so I didn't disassemble it, so have no idea of the correct way it should be assembled. The last thing I want to do is ruin the watch!

Can post a picture of a similar crown in a few days. Have a Seiko Pouge on the way. 

But you can find a lot of pictures of the similar  crown and stem with gear and spring on the net. 

Stem need to be shorter then on the picture. But the exact length you need to find out when the parts arrive.

Well here I sit contemplating my next move! Can't seem to get the new stem to engage properly. The new stem is correct as I have compared and measured it twice. I have tried pressing stem release button but that doesn't help. I don't want to force it so I have walked away for a nice cup of Yorkshire tea, any advice gratefully received.

I think.... I know why stem won't engage and stay in... The little stem release button has stayed down(I hope this is making sense) any ideas??? Or will I have to take the watch to pieces??? I don't really want to as the watch is running sweetly and I am not very confident about doing that. I have dropped a little watch oil down the hole hoping it will release and pop back up. Any advice please.

      Balance staff sourcing?

      By mthomas828 · Posted

      Hello, I am about 5 months into watchmaking and I love it!   The attention to precise detail is what really attracts me to it. (and the tools!) I am working on a 16 jewel 43mm pocket watch movement.   There are no markings besides a serial number (122248) .  The balance staff needs replacement. The roller side pivot broke off.  I successfully removed the hairspring using Bergeon 5430's.  I successfully removed the roller using Bergeon 2810.   Did i mention I love the tools?! I removed the staff from the balance wheel using a vintage K&D staff removal tool  with my Bergeon 15285 (that's the one that comes with a micrometer adjustment so it can be used as a jewel press as well as a traditional staking tool...it's sooooo cool...sorry..  can you tell i love the tools?) No more digressing..  I measured the damaged staff in all the relevant areas but I have to estimate on some because one of the pivots is missing. A = Full length  A= 4.80mm  (that's without the one pivot...if you assume that the missing pivot is the same length as the other pivot (I'm sure it's not)  then A = 5.12 mm...(can I assume 5.00mm here?) F=  Hair spring collet seat  F=  .89mm   (safe to assume .90 here? .. I am sure that my measurement's would at least contain  .01 mm error ?) G = balance wheel seat  G = 1.23 mm  (1.20mm?) H  =  roller staff  H =  .59mm  (.60 mm?) B  = bottom of the wheel to roller pivot   B  = 2.97mm  (3.00 mm?)     here I am estimating  again because this pivot is missing. So my friends, and I thank you profusely,  can you point me in the right direction as to how to proceed? Do i buy individual staffs?  or an assortment?   Since I don't know exactly the name of the manufacturer, will that be a fatal hindrance?   Tbh, I'm not even sure what country of origin this movement is. Thank you!

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Thats why i asked that question earlier, what happens if lubrication is placed directly on top of epilame ?  As opposed to walled within its non epilamed area . I'm not saying its right, i have no idea , just asking questions.

      thinking of where epilam should be removed did you know there was a patent that covers this? At least for the escapement I'm attaching it. GB1057607A-1 epilame.pdf

      Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍
