Movement identification

[dreja]

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

Just a standard Seiko movement such as the 7009A.

That looks like a copy of the seiko movement. China or india ?

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

As mentioned above already it's copy. 

However to learn and develop manual skills that makes no difference.
