    Hey all! New to the forum, but have been lurking for a while! I've got a few Seikos in my collection including a SARB017 and an SPB151. I recently picked up my first 7A28 (7A28-7100 to be specific) as a birth year/birth month watch (June of 1983). I'm looking for some recommendations to get...

    Full disassembly on a 6R35 - big surprise! found out the escapement wheel and the pallet fork are made with MEMS technology, as the latest Grand Seiko calibers are. Truly impressive! Also found out: the hairspring is very thin and soft for the weight of the balance wheel, almost as the 18000...

    I joined TWS while on my journey to find a decent 6306 or 6309. In typical watch nut fashion, I ended up with one of each. They each need a little TLC in addition to a full service. The 6309 has a click ball that doesn't want to depress, which has effectively frozen the bezel. and there...

    Good day Gents, I’ve got to log my satisfaction with the Citizen Service branch. I have just had a full service on my PMT56, first one in 15 years, and have to say I’m mightily impressed.

    I'm the original owner of a Pulsar quartz ladies diver watch. It was stored in a box since the mid-1990s, as the battery had died. Other than that, it's in near perfect condition without any damage. In May, 2018, I dug it out and had a local watch shop change the battery to see if it ran, which...

    Hello, I have two Seiko LM Specials and I would like to service them. Its hard to find a good watchmaker in India so I'm looking to service them myself. I would like to know if its possible for an amateur like me to do it by reading just the Seiko manual. Thanks!
