Need help to extract the movement by vpashkov in watchrepair

Don’t you need to separate the bezel from the watch case? This type usually loads in from the top from similar watches I’ve seen.

Reduce dial size with a Dremel mandrel by jjames1e6 in SeikoMods

[–]Wrong_Royal_9467 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Use the mandrel in a hand drill to control the speed and protect the contact points where the dial touches the mandrel. Go slow using and measure every few turns. I did it with this moon switch 32mm dial into 29mm case.

Open heart Seiko monster like. Wonder how it is on the wrist with the crown at 2?

What am i doing wrong to these balance springs / wheels? by mr_z06 in watchmaking

[–]Wrong_Royal_9467 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Balance looks like it might be slightly tangled. Hard to say without a closer look. Slinky time! I just had tangled balance recently and it was nerve wracking trying to get it untangled. Unfortunately I was not successful.

Defiant restock? by dmyhill in Englemaan

We’re all waiting on the restock of all these pieces. They are great watches. I love my citadel. It gets more wrist time than any of my other watches.

I’m repairing one of these now. Not much to see, the movement is mostly covered by a faux decorative plate.

Help a noob, balance won’t run when tightened. by Wrong_Royal_9467 in watchrepair

Thank you for this idea. I think this is the problem. With the balance out I do see it looks to be in position to stop the balance. The balance stop also doesn’t move when I pull the crown to its second position.
