yet another bellmatic I am looking at

[kabong]

Hi StartSomething,


Thanks for the response.


I have acquired a tool set but have not used it yet. I do have access to a half dozen broken pocket watches (they are bigger!!) but I didn't get far with my first attempt!
I would have no problem experimenting with simple tasks. I might buy a few cheap watches to practice on soon.


I do have a person who has carried out work for me, but he is a 2 hour drive away, or postage etc. I have used him once and he appears to be OK.

A member brought to my attention that the dial number and a case code on my Bell-Matic does not match.

I have a white Belle 4006-7001 serial number is 0061XX and the dial number is 7080T
I am 99% sure it is original since I bought it wasn't even serviced/opened.

So my question is:
Are the cases and dial guide 100% correct or not?

Because I noticed that another of my watch white 4006-7002 with caseback 2296XX also has 7080T dial and I couldn't even find a 1972/82 production year on cases guide.
Also a silver /gray 4006-7000 serial 8N11XX is not even mentioned there (7070 dial).

I believe that all them are ALL original Bell-Matics. At least I thought so but I better check with you guys.

Mate, the 4006-7000, 7001 and 7002 all came with either the 4006-7000 (gold or silver) or the 4006-7080 (gold or silver). If you need proof I'll scan the relevant Seiko casing parts for you.

Thank you otr002 for your help.  There were more colors and dials available for 700X family:

After some investigation this is the best summary I got (thank you Hermann):
There are three 700x series dials (as far as I know): the 7000T AD dial  is a no-lume 27J dial available in black and silver sunburst), the  7070T dial is a lumed 27J dial available in silver and gray/blue and  the 7080T dial is a lumed 17J dial available in silver, blue and  charcoal.
