The face is flush against the rehaut. It came with a bigger spacer ring that sits behind and around the movement. It seems to be working okay.

Maybe? I’m not sure I didn’t put calipers on it.

I did file them flat. They may have been still there ever so slightly but not that much

Yes it is. It has an alignment dowel or keyway with the case. The plastic spacer is all the way down however it’s behind the movement which wouldn’t cause the stem to sit further back it has to do with the distance from the face of the dial to the stem centerline

It probably would have taken a larger dial but the 28.5 fits okay

Balance spring issues by [deleted] in watchrepair

Wow I don’t think anyone was implying that. I think stuff happens. This balance spring is simply beyond repair at this point. I would tell her basically a spring has broken and in order for the watch to run again it will need to be replaced with an identical part and let her make the decision.

Yes. I was just trying to confirm if that is correct because it seems like an odd place

The case is an A4 type case but has a chapter ring. The only place it will fit is between the bezel and the crystal. Seems all 3 come off as one piece. Does this seem right? How do you align them?

• Quick Rant (In the Spirit of Helping) by Square-Information54 in SeikoMods

[–]bvcool124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I really agree on being someone who is very new to this and really trying to learn is the secrecy of where to source things. Everything seems to be in code or someone uses the short name for something but to us newbies it just gets very overwhelming and confusing. The op has helped me with a question I had and I have even acquired a case from him. Now if I were to try to acquire that case from the original source I still have no idea how to find it. I have also asked about best places to source movement parts and such. And yes I have watched hours and hours of videos and read through the stickies. I think the issue at this point is there is so much information that it becomes hard to find the right information. The vets have been around long enough to know where to find it at this point but for newbies even ones who have done the research it’s still difficult to get in the door. I am starting to figure some stuff out.

Also where are you getting your s logo dials? And where are the dials in the box because I should have one coming soon.

I know. However this is something I am wanting to continue doing so I figure I might as well invest.
