Very nice Sea Wolf brought in for repair.  Nice to see this brought in from sitting in a drawer to getting worn daily.

Cleaned in the Elma RM90

Reassembled but next will re-luminous the hands.

Hands complete.  I didn't attempt to remove or polish the spots on the hands for fear of maring the mirror polish from original issue.

This watch has the threaded speed regulator so getting to a accurate gain/loss was a pleasure.  Steady had to get in beat via friction adjuster though.

New crystal to arrive this week along with a new crown and she is ready to go.

Very nice. Always have been a fan of Zodiac watches, especially the vintage ones. Quite underappreciated but the new ones aren't as high quality as the former ones are quite a bit expensive.

What type of crystal are you installing on it ? A standard tensioned domed acrylic ?

Hello, Chopin.  I found the crystal here thinking that I may find it in my GS crystal cabinets but that particular slot was empty.

If you haven't checked that site out, it is a good one.  Has a good online eCatalog of the older paper one.

      Accutron 218 transistors

      Update: I posted over on NAWCC and it looks like I melted the fine coil wires where they come into the solder lugs. After dropping the heat way down on my iron and being absurdly careful, I have a humming fork!

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Geotex · Posted

      Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.
