Hi , I just received a Lord Matic in the mail that needs TLC . The case back says "open thru glass" . So far I have removed the glass , removed the crown by pushing down the little dimple lever in the case , but I don't know how to remove the movement...I thought that it might come out when I turned the case over , but no luck so far .
I have tried searching this forum , you tube , and the Bing search engine with no answer yet , so I'm hoping someone here can tell me where to get the info .
I am attaching some pics from the seller and can take a pick with the glass off if that helps . The caseback says it's a 5606-9000 .
Thanks for any help .

Do I rotate the dial by nudging the day'date window with peg wood like I saw for an Omega on the watch repair channel ? I turned the case over in my palm and tapped the caseback with no results so far .

I can go to bed now....

GOT IT!!!

It's locked in with a sliding ring . I rotated the movement clockwise and she was free as a bird . The sliding ring is in the case and it's even got Itty Bitty ball bearings . The link or info is where I found it .

Good luck!

BTW , I got the glass out using the air pump method similar to what Mark Lovick does with an Omega on the Watch Repair Channel on Youtube....I have used a bike pump with good results .

Glad to know you ended up being able to remove the movement.

So you bought that watch, I was watching this one too. Hope you will be able to put her right or I will regret not bidding on the auction ;-)

I usually remove the stem, then put it back into the case to fixate the movement, then rotate the casing spring. Not sure whether actually rotating the movement is a good idea...

Best,
Hermann

Actually the link said to do what you said...Now that it's out I will inspect the case and spring or ring to see if anything else moves in there . I did try to rotate the ring as instructed in the link , but nothing seemed to move . I rotated the movement counter- clockwise a little at first , and finally did it clockwise and the movement came out pretty easily .
Now that it's out I will take a look to see why the day/date function worked but the hour setting wasn't cooperating...hopefully only the setting yoke slipped [ I say with my fingers crossed]

I just bumped on this thread, is this bracelet original to this model?

Hi, I'm new to the site but have been reading the reviews and ideas on how to maintain or repair watches for a year or so. I joined the forum because I've become somewhat of a collector of Seiko's. I recently bought myself a Seiko LM 5606-7000 and the seconds hand slightly touches the minute hand stopping it from passing, I think it could be a easy fix if I was just to remove the lens. But that is my problem, How do you remove these lenses or for that matter the back casing. I have worked on a few different kind of Seiko's now but not come across this problem so far. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. See photo's for the model type.

The air pump method as mentioned above is pretty common. Here's the video ricardo is probably referring to:

I recently serviced a 5606 myself, had the exact same problem. I had to buy the Seiko S-14 one piece case opener to lift the crystal. Non of the cheap stuff on amazon or eBay worked. I was lucky enough to find one on eBay at a reasonable price.
