Hi guys,

Sharing some pictures of my Seiko dress watch.

It has a 6030 quartz movement (sorry no movement pics as I'm writing this at work) which from what I can find on the 'net is an 8 jewel movement and it has a trimmer screw to fine-tune its accuracy. It seems a decent enough movement from the pics on the net.

What makes this watch stand out is the case which is made of a scratch-resistant material. Its pretty similar to Rado dress watches in terms of look and feel. The crystal is probably a sapphire crystal.

The case-back is marked SHAC'(along with st steel back). I found some references that say it stands for 'Super Hard Alloy Case' but on one site someone mentions 'Super Hard Alloy Cobalt' which I think is much sexier so thats the one I choose! The first digit in the serial number is '0'so I figured it was from 1990 as the design was quite 'modern but I've since decided that its from 1980 as the movement seems to have been around in 1979. Considering it is 37 years old now its in pretty good shape with no scratches or markings anywhere! The mirror finish does make smudges from fingers more noticeable so I do catch my self constantly ''polishing' it!

Its pretty thin as well and pretty unobtrusive when you strap it on.

I'm not really a fan of quartz watches but this one will be staying with me.

      Setting Hands On 7750

      By Stevo2022 · Posted

      I'm a newb who is a bit late to the party here. I've purchased a Horia movement holder clone. And I'm aware that the support pins for the chronograph jewels need to be different sizes. But that is all. Can someone shed a little light on this for me please?

      That looks fantastic! I'm obviously a little late to the party here. Can you tell me where you sourced the case that you used in this build?

      Rolex 645: shock protection cleaning and pivot wear

      By Nucejoe · Posted

      If pivot shoulder almost touches the mainplate, you will see lower amplitude and free oscilation comes to stop quicker. Such touching can stop the watch. This caliber is based on FHF, I think. So some parts of a cheaper movement of same caliber might interchange.  Both observation point to pivot worn short, which support you suspect , "worn pivot".  The problem with pivots wear to this point is , though the watch runs, pivots can easily jump out of jewel holes in the event of shock, pivots are actually not touching the end stones.   Classic watch repair recommends staff replacement or elongating pivots. Non classic let's you flip the end stones to have the dome side of end stone facing the pivot end, this will somewhat or wholly  compensate for the wear.  Regs

      This watch has a pin end mainspring. It's a blued steel spring and may be the original >100 year old part. As you can see, it is quite set. Can anyone suggest where I might be able to obtain such a spring today? Dimensions: Height: 140 Thickness: 010 Arbor diameter: 340 Barrel diameter 989 (1/100 mm)

      Many thanks for your answers: 1. I will clean both of them without risk 🙂 2. Both of the rotate inside their setting but they don't seem to come out. I will clean the cock (and the hole jewels) and I will see if they want to go out. I don't intend to force the setting pushing it out by any means. I only hope I don't need the dismantle the whole cock into all its components...! 3. I won't touch it. Only clean. I don't want to take risk... Thanks again! Thanks for your anwer. Yes, I meant short. In fact there are 2 pictures where It can be seen that the balance almost touch the main plate. The balance only spin freely when I loosen the cock screw and also the bottom jewel setting. I cleaned the exterior jewels on the cock and on the main plate. But I can't take the interior settings. I uploaded 1 picture on this  My reply to your comments are below. Apologies as I Replied rather than quote...
