I will email them to ask for an accurate measurement; they held an in person lot viewing a few days ago that I could not attend. There is so much I don't yet know, I could not assume that no 8mm lathe exists with a spindle height >50mm.

Hi Chris and welcome to the forum, The hands and knees is by way of the rite of passage, we have all done that at some time or another. Added a bit of citizen gen plus the T Z glossary Citizen Technical Information.pdf TZIllustratedGlossary.pdf -
By the way, I opened my watch, looked under a magnifying glass, there is simply no grease, the screws are without traces, the slots are intact.I think it's just a matter of maintenance.there are no rotor marks on the body. And to remove the strap from yours, just press on the 1st side,and slightly move the strap, then on the other side and it will come off.

Hi My name is Chris. Just started trying to learn about watch and clock repair as a result of repairing my fathers old 1890s police station clock (about a year ago). The clock was Ok, but having graduated to pocket watches and then wrist watches, despite the really excellent stuff on Youtube, I am struggling a bit. As a retired engineer, I find the engineering exquisite, but a bit on the fiddly side. I have done a few practice watches with a little success but failed a few, but have had success with Seiko 7005s, 7009s etc, but have just attempted a citizen 5430. Nightmare. My wife thought I had found religion as I spent so much time on my knees with my eyes to the floor looking for springs. Got through that and found that the balance is shot. Trying to source one or something that will fit from the citizen range has me totally perplexed. Tried Ebay, Cousins etc without luck. Any advice as to alternatives that will fit or alternative sources would be gratefully received.
