A Seiko service and clean up.
I'm quite into my servicing the past 8 months. Thought some might like to see a quick clean up and service on a nice little 7009 Seiko I did today, came in the post this morning looking a bit sorry for itself...
Dirty and scratched crystaland running about +60sec

Once I've refitted the date and day wheels and finished the calender side (except dial) I go back to the train side and fit the balance ass. Shown here after fitting and the jewel removed for cleaning

These 7009 movements run so well. So much nicer than the newer 7s26 and the like. Did a quick initial regulation and running 0 sec dial up and +2 sec dial down. Will run it a week and check it on the timegrapher again.
Hope someone found that interesting as it took me longer to take pics and post this than the service and clean up.
