Hi everyone!

I am working on a couple of Seiko 66-7100 watches at the moment. I have about 4 on hand which i have bought, all with different patina on the dials. One of them is almost pink-purple ish so they are pretty cool(:

On the cases, the reference is 66-7100 and sometimes 66-7100-p, but on the dials it's 66-7330R.


However, I am really struggling to find the correct crystal for the watch. I have tried with sternkreuz armored crystals and removed the tension ring, but the dimensions are not right. I can't seem to find any catalogues that have this specific reference.

If anyone knows a seiko glass reference or a sternkreuz special reference that will fit, It would mean a ton(:

Thanks!

The Seiko crystal code for your watches is 315W02AN0, and the Sternkreuz equivalent is XS317.407.

Very nice watches BTW.

    • The ones I have opened also do not have a pry point , hence the reason for the tool. The watch is clamped in the tool and a blade is screwed into the seam, the blade being chamfered lifts the back then the screw shaft is turned and the back comes off have a look on Ali express for case back removal tools
    • I don't think I need to know more about the Orient watch question, so please don't write anything related to the topic, but if you know where I can buy the watch's jewels = rubies and gems shock protection, I would like to know.
    • It's an exhibition back so no access as you suggest.
    • I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark
    • Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.
