Frustrated Seiko 7s26A search.

Help please. I have a 7s26A with a loose rotor bearing. The weight is rubbing on the case back. I've spent a couple hours looking everywhere for a replacement with no luck. I did find a rotor for a 7s36 on eBay. Would that one fit? Or if any one has a suggestion for an equivalent rotor with bearing or just a bearing, it would be very helpful. Thanks in advance for any help.

I know how you feel as I was in the same spot as you. In the end I sold the movement for spares and got a cheap seiko 5 with a good movement.

You can only use the 7s26a rotor, no other will fit. I don't know if the 7s26b and c variants fit...

I got my Seiko 5 for 12-14$ and it was functional, beat up on the outside, but functional and in good condition on the inside.

They all fit, including 7S, 4R, 6R and their SII equivalents. For details about 7S26 parts compatibility across versions check my table at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRN2UULQKTfKmhRStZhDdIOIQrqd6sPB-g6x2SKyQQjOvTBjG_7TQXQhAT4f1WqAX5QAPkIimi-3jqd/pubhtml

I think I may love you. Do you have comparison charts for any of the older ref’s? I’ve made similar for the 7Axx range, although the file got corrupted and I’ve not tried to resurrect it yet, and I have a partial one for the 6139 series.

    • 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
    • C07641+ not sure what the "+" is for after the last digit.
