Seiko Repair Hairspring


Recommended Posts

Hope someone can put me in the right direction.

Where can I purchase the Bridge with the Balance Hairspring already assembled all in tag for the 4R36 (7S26) Movement.I still find it very stressful to assemble I have a Seiko 4R36A that needs a new hairspring which is totally messed up ?.

All in good time

I recommend however to learn replacing the end stud to the arm. I found it unnerving as well, and even opened a thread here without much solution, until I realized that using angled tweezers makes the job much easier. You can practice at will on the damaged hairsping.

Follow the instructions is the data sheet which has pictures. After placing the stud in the right position I recommend you continue pressing it in with the curved tweezers until it clicks. If you use another tool the contact is not secure and if if slips it can destroy the HS.

Yes will do.... thanks for your support I will be working on it this weekend.

 

Hello - sorry to resurrect this old thread, I have to also replace a complete balance assembly from an NH36A to the 4R36A.  How did your repair turn out?  This is the new thread I posted about my next nightmare repair. :)

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
