Hi all. I picked this up cheap and it works fine however it randomly sticks and loses time then starts working again . Any suggestions . Complete strip clean and rebuild ? On a side note I notice the calendar alternates between Arabic and English ( on setup only. In normal use it jumps 2 keeping it in English ) I presumeI need to set it correctly in rebuild d17cb1361a4494c3105aba522b24af67.jpg27159da1762ad0c891f306a4e4975437.jpg

First of all, I'm not sure if this is a fully legit Seiko. I don't think that I've ever seen one with a big JAPAN MADE written on the dial... There are a couple of marriage/franken  Seikos out there but usually the expensive collectible ones.

Yes, you should service the watch and then it will most likely function properly, unless there are inner components that might be damaged...

The day wheel alternates between english and arabic so that you can either set it to display english OR arabic days. That's why it changes "normally" on its own.

It's a fake/repainted dial at the very least. Completely wrong font used on Seiko badge.

Put up a few pics of the movement itself please.

good call!  IF; you can learn how to spot a fake ( or frankenstene [ which may be a good parts watch]),  you will save yourself tons of cash.  vin

Isn't that the 6119 movement? how can you tell the movements fake?

You mentioned dials, I told you what's wrong with'em - everything.
Since the onset isn't promising, if you want to find what's wrong with the mov.ts, go ahead and buy.

      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! 🙂👍
