Thanks for all of the advice and guidance.
I’d definitely love that, thank you. I’ll drop you a message.

I have been looking at the various courses. And I think the BHI one isn’t actually too...

Thanks very much for this. I used this approach and managed to get the pallet fork to engage. Confirmed it by giving the mainspring a bit of a wind and lightly touching the pallet fork to make sure...

Thanks very much! I’ve purchased Moebius 9010 and 9104, as they seemed to be the general consensus for what most use for servicing Seikos.

I haven’t seen anyone mention epilame when working with...

I have a few spare Seiko straps that I might try...

Does the cost and inconvenience of storing watches in a safety deposit box vs the relatively cheap cost of adding them as additional items on your home insurance not negate the benefits using safety...

I have an endless hankering for Seikos. I’ve got a Seiko 5 that I’m picking up tomorrow, and have just bought a Seiko Lord Matic on eBay. The Lord Matic needs the quick day/day fixing (the usual...

This beauty arrived this morning.
Bracelet is nice, but isn’t the original and doesn’t suit the watch, so I’ll be looking for a replacement.
Just wearing ti see what sort of time it’s keeping.

These are great. I’ll have to get one for sure.
