Movement identification


Recommended Posts

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

    • Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  out of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years ago and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic. 
    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.
    • Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was. 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  It would be nice if you told us a little about yourself.
