Seiko 5 automatic sticking


Boogi11

Recommended Posts

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.

    • 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
