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

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.

      Waltham 6/0 d winding stem

      By ooteenie · Posted

      Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance.

      So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
