Hi, I have an old watch that I replaced the battery of. The problem then was that the gears were dirty, so I cleaned them properly. There are 4 gears and I can't figure out the correct order for them to go in. Would someone have a service manual? Model number: 65WLGSS04

 Always good idea to take pictures as you disassemble, bucz  datasheet might not be available for the caliber you work on.

 I did google for image of 65WLGSS04 to no avail, is this the caliber?  in case your not sure, best to find a picture of your movement on internet and give us the link.

Image of the actual piece is not neccessary for calib identification.

one of the problems and watch repair is newbies confusion over model numbers. Companies will purchase basic  OEM models and they will case them up in their own watch and label them with a model number. Service manuals usually go back to whoever made the OEM movement. This is why it's always nice to give us a picture so we can see what you have and we might actually figure out who made the watch possibly a manual probably not though. One of the problems are not all watches have service manuals in fact only a fraction of all the watches ever made have service manuals. But we might get lucky for manual otherwise we could probably tell you how to put the wheels back in if we had a picture of what were dealing with

      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.
