i am a newbie and this is my 1st post. i have just brought a citizen 21j  mov't 8200a.  i opened up the back to take a look at the movement and

when i gave it the seiko shuffle the oscillator weight was spinning very fast round and round. i checked the centre screw which was tight.  does 

anybody know this problem, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

yes, it works perfectly on the manual wind which i prefer but i like things to work as they should+

Think the oscillating weight moves pretty easy on this. One way to test is to let i go until it stops and then shake it some to see if it starts running. Then wear it for a day and put it aside and see how long it runs.  If everything is okay and it runs 30-40 hours  there should be no problem.

hi rogart63

yes i did what you suggested but it will not work on automatic for more than a few

seconds.  on reflection one of these watches passed through my hands a good few years ago

with the same fault, but anyway it works fine on the manual wind which i prefer, so i will

keep in my collection anyway. thanks for your input

best regards

roger

      Can someone please explain watchmaker service mark interpretation?

      By HorologyHead · Posted

      H Watch Repairers—is there is a ‘standard format’ for the service marks or codes lightly engraved inside cases of pocket watches or wristwatches?   Sometimes I can see there might be a reference to year/ month but other times am confused. I’ve included an image of the rear of a 1951 Hamilton 992B Railroad pocket watch as an example. Thank you for all information you can give, Mike

      Hi to Blackminou29–am a collector/ caretaker—good luck to you following your repair course—with hindsight I wish I’d pursued a career in both watchmaker/ jeweler fields—good luck with whatever career passion you engage.   Thank you Watchweasol for posting the amazing TZIllustratedGlossary! Best wishes, Mike

      Seiko 6601 Tech Sheet?

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      yes I noticed the new site and I miss the old site. It's the unfortunate problem of the Internet here today gone tomorrow sometimes some of the stuff gets backed up and sometimes well it does not then the problem with the early Seiko's were there were not necessarily designed for distribution across the planet and as such there is no customer support for them. So trying to find early stuff like technical information or sometimes even parts list for older Seiko is is problematic. But I did find you a you tube video. A quick look he seems to take a heck of a lot of time to actually get to the service single I did not watch all that but it does look like he did disassemble or started to say there's a tiny bit here

      RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.
