Hello, 

Glad to be part ot this community. Thanks for having me. Into watches. Seikos mainly. Vintage ones. Recently took it upon myself trying to bring some of them back to life. Not always successfully, but trial and error, is name of the game. So I've heard. Looking forward to chatting with you all about all things Seiko.

 

Cheers'

Hi Pip,

I have wide array of them. 6138, 6139, 6309 Classic turtle as well as slim case. I also have 7a28, 7a38, 7a48, 7002, 7549, and recently 7548. Latter is what I am trying to figure out. Second hand twitches with a new battery, so I am thinking there is life left. I also have mordern Seiko Divers. 62Mas reissue (SBDC051), and SRP lines as well as, SKX- 007, 011, and 171. 

How about you?

Thank you everyone for a warm reception. Does any one here have Seiko very first diver's in Quartz? I used to run away from quartz, but 7548 is a marvel! Early '80s and bloody thing still ready to go. Just need some adjustments/ service. Everything else seems to be spot on. No battery leaks. Which can be a death sentence to a Quartz.

How about you? 

Wow! It sounds like you have an awesome collection! I love the 7Axx range, first watch I ever properly tinkered with was a 7A28 about a year or so ago. 6138/9 are generally fantastic in my book, 6309... 7549... wow what a collection! And I'd love a SLA017/SBDC051. What a watch! 

I have a few 7Axx, a couple of Pogue's, another 6139, some 6309 non divers, some lcd, some 6119, some older stuff and some more modern pieces like other quartz, 007's & 777.  

Oh, and I had a delivery from Japan yesterday which had three old Lordmatics, an old Lord Quartz and an old King Quartz. Popped a battery in the KQ and she started straight away, the LM's all tick (although one's day/date is not working) and I don't have the right battery for the LQ which reminds me I need to pop on to Cousins website now.

Where abouts in the world are you? I'm guessing UK for some reason? I'm in UK, in Berkshire.

      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.

      So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray
