Hiya from Andy the Amateur Horologist

I've really gotten into Watch Servicing. Miyota 8215 movements, Orient 1946- Seiko 7625a.

And as of today a Seiko 7006a. But having issues with the day wheel misaligning with the date wheel.

Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

I'm really enjoying the hobby and get great satisfaction from disassembly, cleaning, reassembly timing.

Hi AndyS, Welcome.  I cleaned and timed a 7006 some time ago but no issues were noticed with the problem that you mention. Check the assy: and alignment. Good wishes, Mike. PS. There are many talented people here if you need help.

Thanks for the advice Mike.

I'll recheck the alignment and see if I can improve the position of the day wheel. 

The 7006 is a great movement to work on. I love the design and the ingenuity upon seeing the quick set date change. Utilising the clutch wheel turning the date ring. You have to hand it to Seiko!!

Yes, Seiko`s are a good watch in my opinion. I am not a qualified watchmaker just a Jobber Fixer. I did get some in depth training many years ago from a friend now gone who worked for Vacheron Constantin in Geneva. This,  all those years ago was a great help to me and I have not forgotten very much.

That's really good. The knowledge you will have is invaluable. I believe the main aim is to keep the trade going. Any tips and advice would be a great help.
