I recently purchased a Seiko 7006 - 7007. It has the 7006a movement. It's running very fast. I've attempted to adjust the wheel with the arrow between the plus and minus. It was all the way to the plus side. Now, it is as far as it can go to the minus but it did not slow down the timing of the watch at all. It is still gaining 8 seconds every minute. Is there something else to do that I am missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum, enjoy.. 

Have you checked if the hairspring is in between the two downward pins on the regulator arm. These effectively adjust the length of the spring which results in adjusting the watches rate.

And check for it being magnetised, there is an app called Lepsi which is free and seems to work ok in my experiments so far. If magnetised you’re going to need some sort of demagnetising tool.

      Hi watchweasol, yes that is a way of doing it I suppose, I have a pair of mainspring hole making pliers on their way off eBay, the ones with the different shaped punches. I may be able to use them to make a hook.

      EMG Crown DL63

      By ColdWind · Posted

      This is a modern watch, the crown is definitely made from solid 316l steel. You must have heated the crown to some 200C caused the surface colour to change to light yellow. It's similiar to steel tempering. Yes it is the chromium oxide that forms during the heating that gives rise to the colours you see as you know stainless steel contains chromium. The fact the crown is SS lead me to a question, you've never heard of the alum method? Because alum would work perfectly in this case, instead of drilling, which, there is always a risk of damaging the crown, I would just let the crown chilling in some warm alum solution for 1-2 days and the job is done.   Sure can but the thing is the crown is not just mirror finishing, the lock symbol is polish while its background is some sand-blasted finishing so it would be hard to replicate that. You can buff it all shiny but losing the sand-blasted finishing means it won't look exactly like before.   Gasket is always tricky to me. I would try to use some gasket that look closest to the broken one in term of thickness and diameter, and check if the replacement gasket fit with some friction to the case tube. Lastly you can still use alum at this point.
