Hello all, new to the forum and just purchased my first Seiko. It's a KS Hi Beat 5625 7111. I opened the case back to admire/take a few pics of the movement. Accidentally tilted the case and the steel ring that runs the circumference of the movement dislodged. (Dont know the proper term for this part - lock ring? Retaining ring? Case retaining ring???).
I reseated the ring in what I thought was the correct orientation. When I replaced the caseback I noticed a clincking noise when I flip or shake the watch. I've had several autos and realize that the rotor will make some noise but I'm pretty sure this isn't that. It's sounds like the rotor or some part of the movement is hitting the case back/inside of case. Also, when I pull the crown to the time set position, the dial slightly moves inside the case.
Don't know if it was something i did when I opened the caseback or if it was like this all along...just got the watch a couple days ago. My guess is that the movement is loose in the case and not properly secured and its related to the retaining ring.
So what exactly exactly secures the movement and what should I check for. I've included pics of the movement as it is now...does it look like the ring is seated in the proper position?
I'm a total amatuer when it come to any type of watch repair or trouble shooting so I appreciate any advice you can give. Tried searching for the answer but didnt have much luck. Thanks for the help!
