FS: Seiko SRPC13 UFO reissue lim.edition $400
Probably the most desirable from "UFO reissue" recraft line, limited edition (1969 pieces) that got sold really fast, probably due to 2 nice reviews by Bruce Williams on youtube.
If you find the turtle a bit large, this sporty dressy 4R36 automatic could be perfect. 43,9mm wide but only 43,2mm L2L (lugless) so it fits great even on smaller wrist. Slightly curved case with top hat hardlex crystal make nice vintage wibe and teal dial catches the light beautifully.
Was my dressy watch and it is in perfect condition, no dings, scratches, and the crystal is perfect. Comes with full package except the strap which was a disaster (plastic) so I swapped it with new quality tan leather.
I am in EU but will ship worldwide (nkt responsable for any add. custom procedure)

Asking 400$ or 350 firm + postage![]()

day/date wheel
I purchased a gen 1 seiko monster that I would like to swap to a NH36 movement for hacking and hand wind. I took it to a local repair shop to have them do the swap because I dont know how to remove and install the day/date wheels and I want to stay with the original white on black. They returned it to me and said the wheels from the 7S26 wont line up correctly on the NH36 is that correct? BTW the same shop wanted $250 to clean the 7S26.

FS - Seiko 5 6119-5430 TV Sceen - $35/Shipped!
Selling my vintage Seiko 5 6119-5430 TV screen dating to November 1971 which is in excellent original condition. The 21-jewel movement is running flawlessly, timekeeping is spot on and day/date feature snaps over as designed. Watch is fitted with a custom made alligator strap and IMHO has somewhat of a cross between a Patek Philippe Aquanaut and Nautilus vibe going on. Asking a measly $35/shipped in the ConUS and no PayPal, sorry.
Thanks for looking!
Mike

Hope I made the right move with this 6309
Ill just leave the pictures here. Seller describes it as sale from a watchmakers estate sale. As far as i can tell the only thing out of the ordinary is the 6105 bezel. Hope i don't get judged too harshly on this one.:grin:

Guidance - 7017 Chronograph Bridge Disassembly/Assembly
Okay, I did the complete tear down of my 7017-6010 Speedtimer today. I had the technical sheets for the 7016A right there with me and read them and re-read them. I was fine right up to the point where I had to disassembly the balance stop, pillar wheel, and second recording wheel (chrono wheel). The instructions stated you must be careful when removing these items to make sure the balance stop and pillar are in the open state. I took this to mean the balance stop arms are spread apart and the fingers are riding on the high side of the pillar wheel. I achieved this by taking my tweezers and engaging the pillar wheel teeth and rotating the pillar wheel to the high side cam to spread the balance stop fingers apart.
See post 7 pages 4 and 5 of the technical guide.
https://www.thewatchsite.com/34-watc...peedtimer.html
It appeared to me there was also a pinion of the 3rd wheel stickup up through the chrono plate and the balance stop end near the chrono wheel so I did not see a way to simply lift up the balance stop and slide it out. Any tips for removing the balance stop, pillar wheel and chrono wheel? After removing the balance stop screw, I ended up loosening the entire chrono bridge by removing the 3 screws holding it and gently lifted up the chrono bridge taking with it the balance stop, pillar wheel and chrono wheel.
I then gently pryed up the rear of the balance stop at which point the hole piece came off including the chrono wheel. Rather than pull the chrono wheel away from the balance stop fingers , I gently opened the fingers of the balance stop and allowed the chrono wheel to fall out.
Is there a better way to disassemble and reassemble these parts. Do I need to fix the chrono wheel to the balance stop and then drop it onto the chrono plate during the install. Any advice from experts is much appreciated. This is my first go at this. A little nerve racking.

Grandfathers watch
Sometimes I really despair with people and sometime family members are the worst of the bunch by far.
My Grandfather died last year at the grand old age of 99. He was an engineer both during WW2 in the army and in civilian life. He taught me a lot over the years and I doubt I would be doing what I am now and have the interests I have if it wasn't for him. I sometimes find myself pulling the same gags on my grandchildren that he pulled on us and this makes me smile a lot.
When he died the usual family vultures swooped down on his house and basically gutted it of anything valuable. The one thing that I would have liked to have was one of his watches for the collection but they all vanished. C'est la Vie.
I did end up with the things that mattered to me - his tools and some WW2 stuff.
I found out later that my Auntie (Mums youngest sister) had ransacked the house and taken all the watches. Apparently looking for a gold Rolex he had been given as a 21st birthday present in 1940 with an inscription on the back to attest that.
I though she was after it for sentimental reasons and never thought of it again.
Roll forward to this weekend and my mums 80th party with all the family there.
My Auntie came and sought me out, I swear deliberately, to tell me that she had the Rolex It was worth lots of money which is why she wanted it and it was up for auction in a local auction house this week.
She also insisted on telling me all the plans she had for the money.
So now to keep the watch in the family I'm going to have to try and buy it back tomorrow.
Wish me luck.

Sumo chapter ring realignment question
How hard is to realign the chapter on the he sumo. I know the movement has to be removed but not sure if the chapter ring is sandwiched between the crystal and the movement or dial. Does the chapter ring will come loose or can be removed easily once the movement is removed? Are there any screws and brackets that hold and secure the movement inside the case ? Maybe it just a simple realignment of the movement inside the case by loosen up the screw/brackets? I know some omega watches (like the SeaMaster) use brackets and screws to hold or secure the movement inside the case .

This just in...
This came from Spencer Klein. I asked him last week if he had any old 7548 movements around that he would part with. This is what he sent me :cool: The watch is going to say 3:05 for a few days because I didn't have the right size battery in my stash. Fresh bunny batteries are on the way.
My original plan was to get a movement then put together a complete watch from 6309-729x pieces but now all I have to do is find a better crystal, adjust the chapter ring and do a little buffing on the case to restore it to it's former glory :)
Spencer has always been good to me and also very generous with stuff just like this. He is one of the people who make this hobby a pleasure to be in for sure!
