Ooooh....a 7T32 strip and reassemble. Thank you very much! In my box of projects to get to is the exact same wristwatch (without the blue bits, which are really nice) that got properly dunked in water somehow. I've read about the confetti of little plastic wheels and the three motors and three coils etc and don't hold much hope for the circuit board, so I decided I would tackle it when I knew more....now i have a reference video. Great video, liked etc.....thanks, Richard. Much appreciated.

Hi Geoffrey ... thanks for the feedback and I hope this video helps. Getting all the pivots back in with the single top plate is pretty tricky and you need to be super careful as many pivots are plastic and will bend if not located. It is really quite time consuming but worth a punt I guess. Good luck with it. Richard

Welcome to the 7T32 world! These are amazing watches, most of the time they get tossed inthe bin since Seiko does not manufacture them anymore, but for many people they were their heirloom, their first quartz chronograph, their wedding present, their pride and glory. I love them and serviced a ton of them, and still am. Keep up the good work!

I still have my Seiko 7T59 Chronograph - box, leather pouch, all the papers, even the papers for it's one trip to Japan for service, just needs a new battery, in storage as I'm not wearing it anymore. 1/100th first chrono I believe...was a fantastic piece, wore it for years.

Purchased the 116520 that I'd always wanted, the 7T59 was the closest I could afford at the time and it wasn't cheap! As mentioned, still have everything that came with the watch, have not removed the battery, think it died about 3 years ago. If you're interested, be delighted to send your way, I have original clasp that I replaced that would come loose (could use some work), other than that, a new battery and it'd be good to go...let me know.

Richard, what's your opinion of so called watch repairers who turn away simple jobs? I've tried twice to have a gasket replaced only to be told.. "it's obsolete, can't get the part".. But I know that's bs because cousins had it!.. They only seem to want to change batteries and straps.. Anything else is.. 'not worth it'... Not all of them of course but its frustrating given such simple repairs.

I have repaired many 7T32 movements myself but I typically stop at removing the gear train cover. I've done a lot of circuit board replacements and contact repairs due to leaky batteries. I love the 7T32 series of Seiko watches. There must be over 200 different case designs and just when I think I have seen all of them another model number will come up for sale on eBay or somewhere else. I have 30 of these 7T32 models in my collection and I never get tired of them.

One of the most interesting watch repair videos I've ever seen. Gives great insight into the complexity of a quartz movement. I had absolutely no idea that they had that many serviceable parts. I've always thought they were printed circuit boards and a couple gears...
@harrickvharrick39572 жыл бұрын
Well this is not exactly the simplest of quartz watches, to this one there's a lot of mechanical parts with all the different hands moving over different dials.. Also it is be cause it has chronometer functions that it has no less than 4 coils that magnetically drive all bits and bobs. This is a quartz-mechanical chronometer, not just any other quartz watch.
