Good work on the movement! Some of those Ebay watches are really beat up. I sometimes use a small fiberglass tipped pen to remove rust and dried gunk on some of the keyless parts. A sharpened 2mm piece of pegwood is also good for cleaning without scratching - one side a point and the other shaped as a flat screwdriver. Those Seiko diashock springs are very tricky.

At 48:44 -- "The jewel can't go anywhere." This brought a (sympathetic) chuckle. ;-) Very nice video and I like your level-headed manner throughout. You're not hesitant to admit there's still a lot to learn, and that's so refreshing in today's climate of instant know-it-all-ness. I've noticed the same realistic outlook in a number of watch-repair presenters, and am glad of it. Subscribed! Thanks.

Thanks so much for the sub - yeah, the world doesn't need any more know-it-alls. I'm not sure where this hobby will take me, but as long as it stays fun I'll keep pressing on.

Hi I'm a watch tinkerer to sir, is it because of the old mainspring? also use grease on spring and a smear of oil on the sides of barrel but very good video mate.

It could be - you're not the first to suggest so. I'm just not prepared to put any more effort into this movement.

Thanks! Another Seiko turned up today, so we'll see if I have any better luck with it.

way too much oil in the spring barrel. Clean it out and try again.

Hi Steven, just a random question, I have a seiko travel alarm clock, in a case. There is a, well looks like some sort of adjustment screw with a double ended arrow pointing to a plus and a minus, what is that for? I have seen the same sort of thing on alarm clocks you have worked on. Hold the phone, I went back to one of your earlier videos and I may have answered my own question, but can you confirm, is it to adjust if the clock is running too fast or slow? Mine is running slow so do I move the screw to the + sign?

@watchout9213 7 ай бұрын

Most probably you are correct. Move towards the + sign to make it run faster.

I believe the part number is 315W02AN00. I can see one on eBay. You'll need to check it is right for your watch.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/noPKhJSnfbase9U too much oil. Also it is apparent that the plate holding it is a bit bent, hence the rubbing.

@watchout9213 8 ай бұрын

Didn't notice the bend, but yeah, that rubbing is definitely not right. However when I removed the plate and minute wheel the amplitude did not improve. I suspect there are a number of things wrong with this movement.
