Scope:
- developing a durable renovation process or replacement for the (plastic) corrector wheel of Seiko calibre 56 part no 981560
- The project thus relies on (defective) corrector rockers being available
- developing a new, complete corrector rocker (this would be an entirely different and much more ambitious project).
- Work on any other QS rocker components aside from the corrector wheel
- durable solution in terms of function and material properties
- no emission of particulate matter or solvent fumes
- is not adversely affected by normal cleaning methods and solvents
- should be technically as good of or better quality than the original part: performs the quickset function just as an original rocker, will not do harm to other parts of the movement when in use.
- should be aesthetically as good of or better quality than the original part: matches or exceeds the overall quality of machining and finish that the caliber possesses- will not look glaringly out of place once installed.
- solution should be able to be installed with no more than normal watchmaker skill and tools
- solution should be completely reversible, it should in no way permanently alter any original part or function of the watch
- no alterations to components ASIDE of the rocker
- no alterations to the rocker (perhaps excepting the non-functioning plastic corrector wheel)
