Hello!

I have unfortunately put on weight as a result of illness and I can no longer wear my beloved Seiko V657-0A10 as it's one link too small.

Seiko UK don't have either a link or bracelet for this model.

Would somebody be kind enough to offer to sell me one, or a compatible link/bracelet please?

Many thanks

Paul

Don't get miffed but if you want help with the bracelet then photos of the watch aren't much of a clue!

Um, did you not see the V657-0A10 right before the photos??
How else do you think I found the link I posted for him??

Hi again, no joy with a search for alternative models :unsure:
However, have a look at The third shot in this link it seems it's possible to fit a different clasp to the bracelet (or maybe an extender?).
If anyone feels capable of doing a competent job with this could you pm me please?
Many thanks
Paul


Don't think an extender can be fitted to that clasp.

Hi there, don't you get miffed either!
Yes I know I can find plenty of images on the web but my point is that the poster has given us some vey nice shots of the face and case and almost nothing of the bracelet.
I have solved a number of bracelet problems by changing or altering the clasp when links are hard to find.
Since I can't see the clasp i don't know if this is an option.

Thanks guys - the simple reason I have been unable to post bracelet shots as yet is because the watch is at Seiko UK, awaiting return, unable to replace link or bracelet.

As soon as I have it back I will post a couple of shots of it.

One other thing - a couple of professionals strap makers have also said it's definitely possible to do, but because of the nature of the join, there isn't a lot of leather at the joint with the watch head, and so will not be a long lasting solution.

      7750 chronograph service

      By Bonefixer · Posted

      I’ve been working on a 7750 with some success - so far not broken or lost anything and have the base movement up and running well. I’ve reassembled the chronograph mechanism and I have a problem with the minute recording. The finger on the centre wheel is at the wrong angle - it hits the minute driving wheel and the watch stops, unless I give a little nudge and then it carries on.    The tech sheet says to check for 0.02mm clearance (figure B) which I haven’t got. Can I adjust the finger on the chrono wheel, or should I get a replacement? Is there anything else to consider?

      Rolex cal. 3135 issues

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Yesterday a Rolex cal. 3135 landed in my hands housed in a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date reference 15200. Having analysed its running (fully wound) using @praezis excellent PCTM software, nothing is alarming or acute, nevertheless, my conclusion is that it's up for and could benefit from a service. I'd like to know if someone has a different opinion. Pictures to follow... However, what is alarming is that the rotor is loose, and unfortunately, I think it's pretty bad as the rotor won't even oscillate when the watch is in a dial-down position and gently shaken.  It also makes an unpleasant metallic sound when the rotor is spinning, so I hope it hasn't caused too much damage. Unfortunately, I have not been able to confirm this visually as I do not have the correct tool to open the case back and do not want to take chances with my JAXA opener. No doubt a repair is needed, and if a repair is done a service should of course be done as well. I guess I just answered my question 🤨 After reading this thread started by @dibs1, I guess that the rotor axle is worn out and needs to be replaced. dibs1, you mention that you replaced it "using the proper staking punch". It would be interesting if you (or someone else!) could tell us a bit more about how that operation is done. I also read somewhere that "There is a brass 'bearing' or similar, in the movement that wears out and starts to leave brass shavings in the surrounding around". I have no doubt that I would be able to carry out a service but I feel a little unsure about how advanced the rotor repair is and what tools are required. So any handy tips would be greatly appreciated!
