It's time to try to get these two working. One is a 6105-8110 the other is a 6105-8009

They came to me from my brother who passed away.  I would like to get them working again for my sons in his honor.

Both are in need of a bezel & crown and may possibly need other parts

I have a retired watchmaker who will repair them for me but he doesn't have any parts.

I figured I'd try to find a bezel & crown for each so they were complete and then take them to him for servicing.

Anyone have a spare bezel/crown for either or even a donor watch to scavenge the parts from

A bezel came with them, but I don't think it is correct...

As you can see they both have crowns, however neither crown seats properly...

The 8110 is missing the rotor assembly

Happily, the 8009 seems to be working

a useful place for looking for watch part numbers is this website

http://cgi.julesborel.com/

a notice of the top of the page you can enter in case numbers and get your casing components

one of the problems with the vintage watches is availability of parts can be interesting but at least you get part numbers and yes the parts are all really discontinued it's a vintage watch but still you got numbers there may be substitutes or eBay

that's the same link you can look up movement parts and get their numbers which of course of all but discontinued. But still get the numbers and might be better to purchase a used watch off of eBay. I've attached the relevant parts lists just in case you don't have those the reason for the 6106 apparently that's the base caliber for the 6105

Correct size crown gaskets don't exist. I had to order mine from Spencer Klein. Changing one is tricky but surely doable, I managed to do it on the first try. Which is nice because I didn't have a spare crown.

      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.
