Did this two years ago . It's a Seiko which i didn't repair . The other watches are old  russian Slava watches . The frame is a thick black one . Inside i have a 1,5 cm thick sponge material and some velvet on top of that . The parts are pressed against the glass .Some of the parts have to be glued in place .To stay in place until the back of the frame is installed .

That is simply luxury: 3 wall watches but a little hard to tell time and wear it on the wrist!... One is due for crystal replacement. :)

 

Seriously now, very creative, I like it from both an educational and a decorative angle!

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

 

Ps. you probably have heard all those jokes before! :)

It's the best thing to do with a 7t32 Seiko, I wish I'd thought of doing that a couple if years ago.

I do like it Rogart! :)

I would not agree to that... only if the 7T32 had no other chance of survival... but yet again, a nice piece of "art".

I like it very much and may even create one myself as its all I seem to be able to do with watches, thake them apart and not be able to put them together again.  Thanks for the Idea Rogart63. :bow:

      Hour hand won’t go past certain spot when adjusting time forwards

      If the watch is new, just return it to the seller for a refund or replacement.

      Keevo, Welcome to the group ! I'm thinking that you have some damage to the hour, and/ or minute wheel. Possibly just a bent, otherwise damaged, or missing tooth.   Your photo didn't post that I can see. I think you'll have to open it to start really finding the issue. Best, Randy

      Cap jewel with what looks like a circular engraving around the edge

      By mikepilk · Posted

      In cap jewels on several watches I have serviced over the years. I've recently serviced a couple of Longines movements where the cap jewels were colourless. They are a real pain. Without colour they disappear when immersed in any liquid for cleaning 😲 Not necessarily. Cousins do a 10ml bottle for £26 which will last me for years. That's just half the price of a simple Bergeon silicone cushion, so not too expensive 🤣

      Etachron regulation system

      By BobG · Posted

      I wanted to post an update as I have two movements running really well now, 230-250 amplitude , 0.5 and under beat error, and +/-8 seconds or so. I removed the hairspring assembly in order to start over and noticed that the terminal curve between the stud and regulator arm was distorted. The stud was lower than it should be. I massaged the curve to look pretty good and reinstalled it. I followed Alex's video advice, best I could with 10x magnification, and with the regulator arm set in the middle of the curve I adjusted the stud so the spring was centered. I then made sure I could move the regulator arm the entire terminal curve without upsetting the coils. I then put it back on the Timegrapher and began closing down the regulator pins until I saw a change in amplitude which means to me that the pins were now pinching the spring. I opened them slightly and it looks good except I have a 0 on dial down, +3 on dial up but -16 on crown down.  I'm a bit stuck on how to adjust out the positional error. I also noticed a drop in amplitude, 180-200 on crown down. In the other video link I posted at about minute 26 if I remember he adjusts out positional error by manipulating  the regulator pin gap. With crown down the hairspring falls away from the pin and the rate slows so he closes the pins a bit to keep them tighter in crown down position. That means the spring is tighter on dial up as well but then he moved the regulator arm to slow the movement.  There must be some Seiko experts here that have some methods for dialing out positional errors.
