Seiko 6619a Push Set Date Sticking - Is this normal?

When pushing in the crown on this Seiko 6619, the setting lever slightly pops up, holding the crown in against the case and not allowing the spring force to push it back. A slight pull on the crown allows the setting lever to fall back into the notch on the stem, and the crown pops back out.

Due to the fact that the date often fails to cycle on this movement, I'm presuming this is not intended function and something is wrong. If so, any advice on what part to inspect? I can't see any visible wear on any of the components, but also don't quite know what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

Here is a link to a video showing the issue:

I'm not familiar with 6619, is it supposed to snap like that when you push the crown? 6119 stays in and slides back when you release. Are all the keyless parts assembled? I mean if there's supposed to be a plate or something that prevents vertical shifting.

There are no more securing parts - this behavior continues when fully assembled. I am guessing this is supposed to function like the 6119, I can't see any practical reason to behave like it is.

How do these parts look from the underside? Some tab that's pushing something? Are they worn or do the parts bend and lose contact?

I think I've identified the problem - I missed it on my first inspection but the setting lever has some wear that has caused it to slope, leading it to push up and away from the stem causing the issue. I'll need to replace it I think.

      I put the original broken glass (whats left of it) behind the acrylic. This is how it originally looked like. A cheap clock but I like it. Very noisy when the alarm comes wake up guaranteed! 🙂

      Automatic vs Manual movement servicing

      By mbwatch · Posted

      If at all possible, find a service guide for the automatic movements your work on, because the lubrication procedures may have different requirements or rely on oils you would not use in a manual wind train (in addition to the braking grease you mentioned). Some autos like older Seikos do not have a manual wind option, so the procedure of letting down the mainspring without being able to use the crown may require a screwdriver in the ratchet wheel screw and great care. Do you have an auto movement you were planning to start with?

      I am an amateur, so there's that. I do not get fixated on amplitude, lift angles, and beat error. However, 4.8ms would bug me if it were my watch. But you must judge your own skills to appreciate the possibility of going backward. I suggest, that you button it up let your friend enjoy the watch for now. As your skills progress, come back to it and correct it. I assume that this watch has a fixed hairspring pin. Some modern watches have an adjustable pin along with adjustable regulator. These are trivial to get in beat. I own a valjoux 726 my dad gave me on my 18th birthday (a looooong time ago). I broke the ratchet wheel with an aggressive wind 4 yrs ago. I have been waiting for my skills to progress before doing a service. I am close. Your advice is well placed and I will apply it.

      I didn’t find any anomaly to the left of the red mark…reflection? this is the balance in its pivot in the inverted assembly. i can’t see any obvious kinks  and the spring is flat as far as I can see. Either the stud screw is missing, or it’s glued in… I don’t know. I’m loathe to fiddle with it. Any further insights? Thanks!

      Update!  I've dismantled it, cleaned all the glue off, and rebuilt and lubricated the base movement. I'll leave the chrono part for another day. It's running well - great amplitude and keeping time, but it's got a beat error of 4.8ms.    How important is it to correct this? I'm worried that the potential for making things worse having to take the hairspring off and on repeatedly to adjust this. Would anyone here accept it at that?
