Seiko 7T62-0ch0 cannot find replacement coil. 

I'm desperate for help. I need a coil! I've been wearing this was everyday for about 20 years, even to work and I'm a welder. Ive only had to replace the clasp once, and the crystal a few times from welding spatter. 

Took it to my normal jewelr, thought it was battery, next day noticed it stopped again, so he sent it to his "watch guy" said the coil had gone bad? Three months and was told neither of them could locate a coil for this watch. Im beyond picky and wear the same watch, ring and necklace every day... I absolutely love this watch, i looked for months before finding it. Back then i got it for $200, after the store wide half off sale supposedly. Ive shopped and shopped and just couldn't wear any other watch daily, that i can afford anyways.

 

I cannot get the back off to even take pictures, assuming a tool is needed. Where can I find a replacement coil, or are there 2? I'd even try and buy a used beat up one for the coil if it still worked. If the coil is simply copper wire wrapped up how could it not be fixed? Maybe his watch guy isn't really a solid repair guy and just swaps out parts? Any advice or help in the right direction would be appreciated!

Strange, you can buy a complete new movement and have it through your letterbox by the end of the week for £69.75, CousinsUK is a public site, so you don't need to be a business or anything to use them.

Hope this helps

 

PS

Not sure how much of a "watch guy" your watch guy is if he can't source this movement, so you may want to look elsewhere... just my opinion 🙂

If you are in the US CousinsUK will also ship internationally, or you could use a US based supplier (also open to general public):

Hi.  It’s sometimes easier to sell the movement complete against the price of the coil. You have to part strip the movement to fit the coil  ,  movement it’s just a drop in.     Cal. Is usually on the plate, these are Epson branded.

      Longines with 25.17 caliber

      How do the timegrapher readings look after the watch has been running for 24 hours? Are you using a phone app or a dedicated timegrapher to take your measurements? Best Regards, Mark

      Replacing crystal, do I need a bezel tool?

      By Kalanag · Posted

      From what I see, the crystal is made of mineral glass and is secured to the bezel with a sealing ring. If you might want to replace the crystal without removing the bezel or the movement, I think it's possible, but risky. You have to suck out the old crystal without breaking it into tiny particles. I would not do that. If you remove the movement first you can press the crystal out and press a new one in without removing the bezel.

      New hobbiest to watch repair from the Netherlands

      By Sebastiaan · Posted

      Hello Everyone, A short message to introduce myself. I'm Sebastiaan (50) from the Netherlands and have always been interested in watches. My two kids are at the end of their teens years and so I have more time to start a hobby.  Working on watches was something I always wanted to learn. So I recently started the watchfix repair course. Currently watching level 3. My short term goal is to be able to service the watches we (Myself, my wife and kids) own. I own a manual Omega Geneve from 1974, a small microbrand watch with a NH35 and a wittnauer bumper from 1940's. My wife owns an Oris, Seiko 5 with 7s26c and my son a seiko alpinist sarb017 and sports 5 with 4R36. So enough to learn on the short term..  Looking forward to talking to all of you and enjoying the watch hobby together. Greetings Sebastiaan

      It works quite well. The only strange thing is that it loses 2/3 mn per day whereas the measurements indicate that it is fast by 1/2 mn. Maybe something wrong with the gear mechanism ...

      Unfortunate…but you clearly have a Longines branded movement with a year 1936 serial consistent with the caliber. I checked the case maker of the last few Longines I worked on… …same as your watch, so certainly you have grounds to honestly describe your watch as a Longines cal 25.17 tank with unbranded dial…and given the modesty of the watch IMO the Longines authentication wouldn’t dramatically alter the value, if that’s what you are hoping…as nucejoe suggests the value will mostly be determined by how well it runs…
