Seiko 5 7S26-3040 Maintenance

[@claudiantenegri2612]

Really nice work! This shows extensively why the service it's quite expensive on a mechanical watch. For this Seiko model, it's more expensive than the watch itself (about 170$ in US).

Good video, i like it

I am planning to get a seiko5 and I have used gshock for 8 years , how is sekio 5 durability over the years

[@vintagewatchtinkerer]

Since it is a mechanical watch, it won't be durable compare to G-Shock. Also, unlike the G-Shock, regular maintenance is required.

Thanks

[@Grefareal]

is it possible to change this exact seiko 5 mechanism with NH36A, or is the case not compatible with NH36?

[@vintagewatchtinkerer]

The swap is a very popular movement upgrade with these watches. It won't be so difficult.

[@juancito.w600]

me vendían un seiko 5 similar pero vi que tenia grabado en el cristal el logo de Seiko y me pareció extraño pues no lo había visto en ningun modelo , crei que era falso😢

[@vintagewatchtinkerer]

The original Seiko glass has the logo.

How much do you charge for this service plus a new crystal?

Why the back case not transparan?

[@vintagewatchtinkerer]

There are a lot of different Seiko 5 models. I think the stainless steel back is the original one for the case.

[@Jorgerams]

@vintagewatchtinkerer ¿and you can put a transparent one?? I have the same watch and I'd like to put a transparent one on it.

Why are some gears plastic?

[@vintagewatchtinkerer]

I'm sure price is the factor. They are parts of the calendar mechanism. They don't need to handle significant forces and they don't affect the watch's accuracy at all so using plastic parts will be reasonable choice.

Berapa harganya?

Do you plan to buy a time grapher?

[@vintagewatchtinkerer]

No, so far. Currently I use a smartphone app for quick checks and Tg (a PC timegrapher app) for detailed inspection.
