The upgrade is to a an NH36, that hacks and manual wind. You can get it easily on sellers like Cousins UK, Ebay, or a bit more cheaply on Aliexpress.

 hello I'm in the US I had this watch for a really long time and I really like it but I dropped it and also a few years ago the date will will only turn with turning the hands. I took it to the watchmaker and he told me that it literally is not worth fixing that movement it's best to just replace it. I really don't know what is going on with the movement. That's why I was looking to upgrade it since the seven s36 is outdated.

NH36, direct replacement, with the added bonus of hacking and hand winding on top of the auto.....

The NH35 is date only and the NH36 is day/date. The only thing is that you have to use the original crown, fitted to the new stem, because of the extra complications the 7s26/36 stem isn't compatible with the NH35/36 movement.

I 'upgraded' my SKX007 diver, replacing the 7s26 movement with an NH36 movement but because the crown cannot be separated from the stem on the SKX divers, I fitted an after market 'Jumbo' crown to it..........

That's awesome.   Will my hands from the 7s36c fit on the nh36? (I ordered it from ebay) or do I need new hands?

The hands fit and the dial pins line up as well, everything except the stem is a direct replacement, though you should use the plastic dial/movement spacer from the original watch as it may be slightly different from the one that comes with the new movement....

What 7S36 watch do you have? This is my only one....sadly needs a new crystal

This was my first automatic watch and I really like it but I really beat it up. A few months ago I have the crystal replaced I really wish I would have known about Sapphire but I didn't. But I really like this watch so I'm very excited and getting that movement put in it. Thanks for all your guys's help.

    • This conversation is becoming a very confusing. The etachron system is a very nice system for manufacturing watches. As you know it consists of two components the stud and the regulator pins. Beautiful thing of this system is you can open up your regulator pins center the hairspring and as you close the pins they will close equally on both sides providing you centered it in the first place. It's not like you're going to become closer to one side or the other as the definition of the regulator pins is a bit confusing it's not exactly a slot sort of. I'm thinking maybe a little eight reading will be helpful for you. Then the file name was changed by me at the US patent but the wording of Seiko may or may not actually be attached to it soared up? I just did that so I can find it in my files. Normally patents are in people's name if they work for a company the company name will be there you'll notice the person lives in Japan which is interesting as the name would imply that this is a Swiss product. Somewhere I think I have the patents for the stud and I believe that is Swiss like a lot of things their Japanese and Swiss and then the Japanese let the Swiss name stand as it seems you more popular in case as you read up on the patents of the regulator pins or pin will see and it should explain exactly how and why it works also why it's important to always close at an open in specific directions because the pins actually have a shaped to them it's very hard to see the shape as it's very tiny.   As a reminder with this system it's mass-produced. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they use cameras and computers to do all of the adjustments.  The meaning of this is that the majority of watches will function as there supposed to and do what they're supposed to do the system will allow us for some minor in tolerance and has more than likely as I said no human hand is ever touched those watches that's the way they left the factory and they work fine.

    • These still seem stupid expensive for a bottle, but still £100 cheaper than than the Moebius ones. Anyone have any experience of these: https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/epilame-fixodrop-special-bottle-horotec
    • Yes, this is not a basic part. Here are some pictures of making one  
    • I bought an old Bergeon 5555. The bottom of the tank was full of petrified salts, which also corroded the metal parts a bit. I would use just distilled water.
