Hello,

I would need your help identifying this watch caliber.

I have found this caliber in a Seiko 5 watch, which was surely franken (made from different pieces). The dial is 7s26, while the caseback has 7009 engraved on it...

 

The writing on the rotor is 7009A, but other parts don't look the same as 7009 to me:

- The bridge, which keeps the pallet fork in place has only one screw (7009 should have 2 screws)

- There are banking pins present (7009 doesn't have them)

- The day wheel was not working - it seems that the cover under the day wheel is different that in 7009. The hole in the middle of the cover should be bigger, to "accommodate" the day wheel

 

Thanks

Andrej

Thanks for the answers.

I don't know it's origin, I have bought the watch in Europe, as a non working (problems with day change) second hand watch... My idea was to study the assembling / disassembling of the watch caliber.

But I was hoping to get a 7s26, as this is written on the dial.

Anyway, if it is a copy, there is no other info.

If it is a Seiko standard caliber, I would like to know the reference number...

Thanks

Andrej

      Stem removal after fitting hands

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think what peter means oh is once he has fitted the hands and  checked for  alignment if them and that they dont foul, how does he then hold the movement to remove the stem in order to case up. The dial cannot be laid on a cushion or in a movement holder as the hands will get damaged. This can be quite tricky for a beginner, what i do is  to stand the movement on edge on a rubber pad so it doesn't slip. Hold the top edge with one finger then my dominant hand uses 3 fingers to press the stem release and flick out the stem. See below peter, leave off the second hand as this is the longest and gets caught the most, then fit it once the stem is out.

      Yes I understand that. What I’m asking is, after the hands have been fitted, it’s been checked that the hands do not touch etc. then I need to remove the stem to fit the movement in the case. I have the push type, I need to turn it upside down and push the setting lever post and pull the stem out. But of course the dial and hands are in place and I have a glossy dial with lume dots and I do not want to cause any damage while it’s upside down pushing on the post of the setting lever.

      You have answered your own question. You just push the setting lever nipple in or if its the screw in type unscrew it a little. You should always remove any hands and the dial before putting it in your movement holder.

      Battery

      Did the old battery leak and damaged the circuit board? Can you post some photos of where the buttons make contact on the circuit board.  Try cleaning the gold fingers on the board with alcohol and also the conductive rubber strips behind the LCD display panel.

      How do you safely remove the stem after fitting hands? I’m talking about the push type setting lever you need to push to release the stem. Some dials can be intricate, glossy finish, lume dots etc. and placing it in the movement holder can be quite risky and cause damage.
