Good evening,

I am in need of a new main spring or complete barrel for a 6R35, Pn 0201283.

Cousins did seem to have them at one point, but now discontinued, or not available to buy.

Am I missing something? This is the most obvious spare part for any watch, yet I cannot see anywhere that sells it.

I would also like to know if there are any recommended main spring winders for this movement also?

Thanks for your help.

As this is a fairly new movement Seiko appear to be holding the parts.

Best option maybe to look at measuring the old spring and trying to find a generic one.

Out of interest what's wrong with the old one?

I'm quite surprised that no-one appears to stock parts in the UK though.

Long story short, I damaged it beyond repair by attempting to use a spring winder not designed for this particular spring. It would have been better to install it by hand, but the spring has an awkward, reverse bridle making it tricky, to say the least.

Thank you both, anyway. I have a barrel assembly on the way.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi Mike I did a ships clock a long while ago, not a Hermle though and without getting the beast in my hands to refresh my memory I can’t recall the timing.  This doesn’t help I know but will start the grey matter turning.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      I have stripped and cleaned a Hermle ships clock. It was just oily, no major faults, and I reassembled it, following my photos in reverse order. The time train is fine but the strike train will not play the ships bell strike for half-past. Ships bells play a four hour sequence for the 'watches' and play double 'ding' for the hour and the double dings plus one for the half past (eg half past the second hour is 'ding-ding' 'ding-ding' 'ding'). Sounds complicated but it isn't really. The strike wheel consists of pairs of bumps (for the ding-ding) and no single bumps. There must me some mechanism on the half-past that lifts the strike lever over one of the bumps so only one ding is played. When I get to a half past, it still plays double ding. I have a feeling it is to do with the lever in front of the rack (there is a sprung attachment  on it) and the position of the wheel (to the right) with the two pins that lets that lever fall, but no matter where I place that wheel I cannot get a single ding at half past! Please can someone help with advice on positioning so I can fix this? BTW Happy Easter 🐣
