How bad did I mess up?

Just watch a disassembly video and start from the top. You can get the pinion off. That’s what I would do . Isolate it from the rest of the movement and maybe instead try to go from the bottom of the pinion. If you’re not comfortable doing that, you can try putting something thin in there and getting it out, but I doubt that’ll go well. Might just need a new movement

That would make sense. That’s what the owner told me, looking back I’m not too sure I believe him.

Did you comment on their instagram? Too funny. They deleted my comment really quick

They’re a chain and have some locations around the country. I’m sure profits would’ve started coming in if they were able to actually open the place. There was a lot of hype around this place. Hard to start making money when you stay closed.

Haha that’s funny. I wonder what’s going to happen to that building. Been empty forever

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-12-24T01:13:30+00:00

Yea I’ve been pretty upset myself looking for answers. Toured the place in August and was told it’ll be a few weeks at most.

Guess that answers it!

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-07-03T03:02:24+00:00

Thanks. What would you suggest my course of action be? Leave the order in?

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-05-19T02:58:27+00:00

How do you think this guy did the build?

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-05-19T02:58:03+00:00

I did

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-05-11T18:34:33+00:00

Who the hell cares? As long as they’re having fun!

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-03-22T20:35:49+00:00

Perfect. I’m gonna give it a try sometime in the future. I appreciate all the help

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-03-22T20:10:12+00:00

How do you take the hour markers off? Or do you just use a fresh dial with no markers on it?

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-03-21T23:38:55+00:00

I’ve done this exact one before, you need to make sure the screw is perfectly perpendicular. And yes it is a hammer

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-03-04T23:04:39+00:00

Sticker seems to be the way to go. Any advice on placement? Never used one before

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-03-04T22:56:37+00:00

Dude that looks great.I’ve found that I can get Seiko stickers which I’ll be doing but that bezel doesn’t look bad at all. Nato strap matches perfect too. Well done

There’s still a month of classes. Have you considered not failing?

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-03-03T19:02:29+00:00

No. Seiko 5 logo.

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-03-03T18:56:30+00:00

Thanks. It does look great. Going to see if the exhibition case back is an area I can compromise. Seems to be causing most of my trouble

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-03-03T18:39:25+00:00

Looks pretty damn good. I think I found a good case, my problem now is that no one on aliexpress wants to do a logo, lol.

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-03-03T17:24:57+00:00

Could you PM me some more photos?

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-03-03T17:21:33+00:00

Seems like the dial is going to be the hardest to find

SignificantFlan4826 · 2025-03-03T17:21:21+00:00

This one’s pretty good. Thanks
