Non working seiko 5

[imagedoctor]

A Seiko 5 I tried to adjust the regulation on stopped working .. nothing particularly untoward seemed to happen ... what might be the problem and how do I fix it for the least cost?

Any chance you touched the hairspring , it is very close?

Yes it is possible ... though there weren't any major slips ... what are the consequences if I did ? :S

what movement is in it?

if you can find a cheap one on the bay it could be cheaper to cannibalise the movement for it

Thank you.

So the movement is toast without significant work then ?

It's an SNK805K2 - so I assume its a basic seiko 5 movement.

Should be a 7s26-series auto movement in these.

Thanks for that.

Are you sure that you didn't move the wrong part? You should NOT move the beat adjustment. :shock:

But if the beat adjustment was moved, it would have to be an extreme move to stop the movement, right around to one end or the other IME, and a movement back the other way is usually enough to get it ticking again, although not usually with any degree of accuracy.

My money's on a hooked-up hairspring

Did you say "hooked up" as I'm a lttle deaf! :lol:

[dickbrowne]

Just a little hooked up, I don't think it's totally hooked :)

Has the OP got an update on progress with finding the problem.
