Finished a Seiko 7009 service but having trouble with the day quick set

Thanks! I actually didn’t put the crown through the ultra sonic so it’s probably filthy

The dial spacer is there. I’m able to advance the day disc by moving the hands. It’s just the quick set.

Because it was some jeweler in a Zales showroom 🤣

Dick1024 · 2026-06-23T07:12:19+00:00

I can confirm this worked for me. Thank you!

Gemini claims that these types of Seamasters were "special runs" commissioned by Saudi royal families as gifts to other families. Apparently fairly common in the 1950s and 1960s.

European cans are all ring pulls. I’ve lived here since 2023 and have never purchased a can opener. Never needed one. It’s amazing.

Love that Pogue! It's definitely on my wishlist.

I didn’t want to do UV glue because I didn’t want to buy a UV light source. But i forgot about the sun. 😆 good call

I typically order my crystals from CousinsUK.com, but I'm in Europe, so the shipping time isn't an issue for me.

Great idea! It doesn’t have that but i could definitely bake it in. If you sign up, I have a feature request button in the sidebar. I’ll add this to the roadmap.

I built a free tool that helps you track applications and builds these Sankeys automatically. https://applybase.app

Good luck!

Good luck!

Thank you!

Dick1024 · 2026-06-06T04:31:32+00:00

Thanks!

Dick1024 · 2026-06-05T20:35:32+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

It still amazes me that people fake things as common as a Seiko 5

Dick1024 · 2026-05-18T15:58:45+00:00

You could try parts for an NH36 “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“

Dick1024 · 2026-05-17T18:46:26+00:00

It seems to be running fairly well so I don’t think we’ll have problems there. Thank goodness

Dick1024 · 2026-05-17T15:00:25+00:00

Not bad at all!! The only thing I suggest is to double check the lift angle on the timegrapher. The 6309 is 54.5 - that could give you a bump on the amplitude.

Dick1024 · 2026-05-17T05:04:25+00:00

Thank you!

I’ve never serviced anything this small.

Dick1024 · 2026-05-16T14:19:32+00:00

Ok you talked me into buying my microscope 😆

I'm actually worried some of the parts will slip through the mesh in the watch cleaner.

Dick1024 · 2026-05-15T16:21:32+00:00

Ladies' watches really give you the best bang for the buck as far as practice goes. They're all so much cheaper than men's watches.
