For S.B. -- Seiko 7002-7009 Restoration and Service

[@PyroRob69]

If I knew a watchmaker that I could trust, I would have mine cleaned and adjusted too. Bought mine in about 81 or 82, brand new.

[@jiritapal2347]

Saving this video. My very old 7002 is stopping randomly now. I bet, cleaning and lubing will be sufficient. I will try to do it on my own with this tutorial. Thanks

[@BlairWatchProject]

You’re welcome

[@jiritapal2347]

@@BlairWatchProject Already done. Cleaned, lubed and running fine now. First watch I serviced by myself. Thank you!

what equipments to buy for watch cleaning

[@lesblair5112]

Fascinating....an hour passed without noticing !! just had mine serviced- running good, but bezel R.A.F. -think he dropped the ball when he popped it back.... oh well back for 2nd shot !!

I don't know but I find it very interesting watching this type of videos

[@BlairWatchProject]

Thanks for watching them.

[@oyster_3694]

That was an aftermarket dial!👍🏼👊🏼

[@tuong1494]

You're right, you read my mind 👍

[@Poseidon95412]

Of course because the original was with green lume

Tengo ese movimiento 7002 funciona parfecto

[@sneak880]

Great video, thanks. Not sure if you've tried a 7002 bezel insert swap as yet, but its really easy. 1. Remove the bezel (and gasket), then soak it face down in a shallow container with some citrus based solvent for about 24 hrs. 2. The solvent will dissolve the glue and the insert should just drop out, or gently pry out with a tool. 3. Clean down the bezel and new insert. 4. Refit the bezel to the watch case (without the insert in place) 5. Add contact adhesive to the bezel insert mounting face (with a toothpick) and then place new insert onto the bezel, aligned properly at the 12.

Great job, thanks for showing!. A quick question, where l can get a new rotor for a watch like this? I can't find any place for replacement parts. Even on line.l live in LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA

[@BlairWatchProject]

Any 7000 series movement should have the part you need. EBay is a good resource.

[@jalander8817]

I bought this watch from an estate sale in rural South Carolina. It’s in very good condition and appears to never have been modified. Im not really a watch guy though. Is any maintenance required for this movement?

[@BlairWatchProject]

Service/maintenance is always required with mechanical movements.

[@bud64lynch]

I wanted to see the parts where you take the stem out…couldn’t see it, or the part where you attach the dial.

[@oshdris]

what's the thing sir that removes the dust and fingerprints? like a bubble gum or clay thing sir

[@BlairWatchProject]

it's called rodico

[@oshdris]

@@BlairWatchProject thankyouuuu sir

[@GabrielReyes-l8f]

how much your watch sir

[@rogers531]

How did the crown and stem just come out like that. I can't get mine out even pushing on the pin.

[@BlairWatchProject]

On most of the 700X movements, the crown and stem need to be pulled to the set position and then a small tang is revealed between the movement and the case that is very close to the stem. Push downward very lightly on that tang and the stem should pull right out (if it’s been unscrewed from the case, of course).

[@lesblair5112]

Forgot to ask,whats the difference between a 7009 and a 7009(A) case ?

[@BlairWatchProject]

Do you mean a 7009 and a 700A? The 700A variant is the non-US/Japan - Rest of World market, blue dial with a pepsi insert. The 700(0/9) was the first generation 7002 with a black dial and insert.

The bit you did off screen at about 32 minutes in, trade secret?

[@BlairWatchProject]

I need higher magnification to see the spring that keeps the diashock jewel carrier in place. I go off to the side so you don't have to look at the back of my head. :-) Thanks for watching.

[@richardhartman6316]

first i love your channel i was given a seiko 7002 700LR in 92 from a friend i served with in the army who was killed on 3 October 1993 in mogadishu i wore it religiously up till 96 when on my last jump into Fort Bragg before i was discharged when winds increased and i hit hard on landing it will still run.for a few minutes but it stops it needs some serious work i was wondering of you knew of a good reputable shop i can get it restored in California or anywhere actually

[@flyrr200]

I've broken a 7002 movement trying to get the stem back in.

[@BlairWatchProject]

The mechanism is pretty simple, but can get stuck if things are forced.
