Call me lucky but I just got my dad‘s old SNK027 watch that has a 7s26 movement that doesn‘t work anymore. I promise him that I‘ll fix it no matter what. I will use this video as reference. Wish me luck. If I have problem, I will definitely ask you. 😊
I have several of these 7S26 movements and watching this has given more confidence to have a go at stripping one down. Thank you it's going strait into my save section.
Wow glad that I can help, just take one step at a time and take alot of breaks. The hardest part was to assembly the date function, just screw the screws in a bit then check if everything is correct, some parts can jump out of its place but can be adjusted before the screws are fully down. Good luck!
Thanks for this video mate. Ive just bought a well used Seiko 5 auto 7s26c which the previous owner never had serviced in its life time. It was running +3 minutes a day. Considering i paid so little for it i figured this would be the perfect watch for me to try a DIY service. This video will be the greatest help to me in my attempt.
That sounds very good, wish you luck. That it easy when mounting the wheels back again so nothing gets squeezed with bent pivots. And the date plates, mount the plate and put the screws on, just screw it down a little and align the plate correct, then screw it down fully. These plates is hard to get correct directly, need to steer with the screws a little wound down then steer it and afterwards screw them down.
Как вообще возможно изготовить такие мелкие детали, шестирёнки, и прочие детали с такой идеальной точностью, что бы собрав их в готовые часы они десятки лет точно показывали время? Это фантастика!
thanks for the video!!! my snk809 will appreciate it, I use it almost every day in the workshop, with the sapphire crystal that I put on it, it resists all the work Thank you!!!
I had the same trouble as you at 18:19 the corner of the automatic works bridge won't go down all the way. If I loosen the screws and get that corner down, then another comes up.
Good video. As the SKX is now discontinued. Seems like more people will need to service the 7s26 in the future. Previously 7s26 was a throw away and replace movement.
seiko are the best when my dad first had a seiko5 the spring would stop after that I wind and it was working it has been two months it still works and it dose not stop
@@WatcheyesI noticed a pair of plastic gears in the 46E40, so I decided that this mechanism is less reliable and durable, but still wanted to know the opinion of a specialist. Thanks for the answer!)))
Thanks for the great video. I tried following along on my snk809 and let me just say you make this look easy. Would you say the 7s26 is a fun movement to work on or do you find it frustrating compared to higher end movements? I don't have any other experience to compare but I found a lot of parts just didn't want to fit right. Again I'm 100% rookie so it might just be because I'm not very good.
Hello Jacob and welcome to the channel :). Well I cut the video so it won't be to long, the 7s26 is a hard movement to work on. It has very delicate parts, especially the date function. So on this one you have to be very careful. Compared to let's say high end vintage watches the 7s26 is much harder. Vintage watches is very robust. Built like a tank so you get some "safety " in case you do any errors. Take your time on each part, don't remove it with to much force, don't push screwdriver under parts, use maybe brass tweezer if you want to go under stuffs when removing, be gentle. And when assembly, check if it's situated correctly before screwing it in place. 7s26 is good practice. If you manage this you can do other ones with ease :). See you later, good luck 👍
@@jacobroberge178 7s26 is a great one to start with as if you manage that some vintage is probably easier :). One year ago I started where you are, on the 7s26, I'm still a beginner but it's going better.
@@Watcheyes I mean when I can put pallet fork on the pivot hole and then the bridge then screw it. The problem is it doesnt bite on the escapement and you move the pallet fork up and down but its in the pivot hole. Sorry for asking questions. I am practicing on three watches they all have the same problem after working on 15 watches.
I'm watching the video well in South Korea. You watched the 7s26 movement overhaul video well. Watching this video, I would like to overhaul the 7s26 movement for fun. I have a question. I want to know the size of the minus screwdriver required to overhaul the 7s26 movement. I hope you tell me. The tools are so expensive that I only want to buy the size I need.
@@kingkong1348 hi, i went thru all screws in a 7s26 and you need 2.0 and 1.0 mm. The 2.0 is for the winding mechanism, ratchet wheel, 2nd reduct wheel pinion screw. 1.0 is used for the rest. If your able, buy also maybe 2.5 mm but its not a must. /Watcheyes
I believe the weight has a slip fit that bypasses the ratchet wheel when the main spring is fully wound. Not sure though. I'm looking at mine now and watching the weight freely spin and the ratchet wheel not rotating, which makes me think it's fully wound.
Hello sir, I don't have that movement but must be some faulty cog wheels maybe, it's some plastic cogs in there that can be broken after some time. Just my guess but you'll see if you upon.

your attention to detail and patience are astounding!!!!! another job well done!!!!! 😉👍
Simple entry movements, without superfluous decoration, but robust, durable and efficient. It's just what matters for a good watch.
Indeed! Many thanks for commenting =)

Thank you 😊
just bought this watch, loving every minute of it
Nice Ivan :D
After watching this video I am even more in love with my new watch, coming soon, via amazon, it is my first automatic.
That's great Acosta, thank you for commenting :)
watching this video is oddly satisfying! All the best +1
Thank you, very much appreciated that you found it satisfying! Have a good day.
Very cool, i have my sport 5 on now with 4R36A

Obsolete?
Aha I understand, didn't know that. Glad to hear that you liked liked video! Thanks also for commenting :)
@@Watcheyes Meant to put Discontinued not Obs. Fixed it.
@@M3LTUP no problem :)
Just got a SKXL45 for Christmas. Pretty sweet deal for 89 bucks. First real watch for me.

Amazing video
Thank you Richard, glad you enjoyed it, hope you like the rest of my videos :)
Beutiful video gentleman, question, this video helps in NH, 4R, 6R movements too? New sub
Thank you sir :). I don't really know but I can guess it helps some. Seiko often looks kind of the same between models.
Nice!
beautiful video
Thank you, glad you like it :) /Watcheyes
Thank you so much. Fixed mine
Hola excelente mundo el de la relojería gracias por sus videos
Thank you Miguel for watching my video, Gracias for the kind words, see you later :)
@@Watcheyes soy nuevo en este mundo tan genial y su nuevo seguidor gracias
@@miguelchaacoom5935 Bienvenido, espero que te gusten mis próximos proyectos, gracias.
Please tell me which mechanism is better, Seiko 7S26 or Orient 46E40
Don't know :/
@@WatcheyesI noticed a pair of plastic gears in the 46E40, so I decided that this mechanism is less reliable and durable, but still wanted to know the opinion of a specialist. Thanks for the answer!)))
The mechanism appears to be composed of approximately 55 parts + 21 jewels.
Yes :)

@@Watcheyes Thanks for the response! Maybe I won’t swear off watchmaking just yet :) I’ll try starting with an old pocket watch when I find one.

im having a hard time placing the pallet fork. Its loose. Ive tried your method it can go sideways but not stable.
You having problem to place the pallet fork and the bridge above it or?
@@Watcheyes i can place the pallet fork pon its pivot holes but its not astable when I put the bridge and not hittimg the eacapement

A Tandorio Field or Flieger with a Seiko NH 35/36 is so less expensive and much more better!

Can selfwinding stop rotating when the barrel is full of power?
I believe the weight has a slip fit that bypasses the ratchet wheel when the main spring is fully wound. Not sure though. I'm looking at mine now and watching the weight freely spin and the ratchet wheel not rotating, which makes me think it's fully wound.
1:32 Use the force.. .... . (gravity, flip it upside down) 😁
Wow cuanta micro ingenieria
Is there a place to get the dimensions of all the parts and gears for modelling ?
I don't know sorry :)
Dear sir Please Upload Seiko 2906 date dial is hard to change at 12o clock and winding problem thank you
Hello sir, I don't have that movement but must be some faulty cog wheels maybe, it's some plastic cogs in there that can be broken after some time. Just my guess but you'll see if you upon.
Black back ground , I think it should white. Backing. With light on. Object.
Highly recommended gussl to anyone looking for a high quality replica watch.
thank you mate
In my K2 seems like have also arabic week days? I just got it and I do not know what it show tomorrow.
Question?
Is this a 21 jewel movement?
Как будто операция открытом на сердце. Но, недостаточное количество света, который еще и сбоку идёт, не даёт полного понимания картинки из-за переотражения света на металле.
I agree, my setup was not complete here and also my knowledge of the camera. Please check my latest video, it's a bit better I hope :)
@@Watcheyes Thank you Sir. I'll watch all videos, it's very interesting for me.
@@VolodiaLukianov ohh, thanks alot, have a good evening!
It is not good to touch the movements directly with the fingers without glove them...
I agree, still Philip Patek does it in some videos ;). This is my own watch, it's a test movement for me.
ÓTIMO TRABALHO 👍👍👍 🇧🇷
Foi gentil da sua parte, muito obrigado!
What is the difference or significance between the 7009 and 7 S 26.
Добавлены накладные камни в ангренаже, и другой ремонтуар - иной способ быстрой смены дня недели. В остальном те же яйца, только в профиль. Вот с NH35 различий уже намного больше
Light is not sufficient more light required. Pl
Yes, this was my first video, trial and error =)
It doesn't show the unscrewing of bolts attaching the mechanism to the case.
I have a damaged 809, who and where can I send my watch for repair? I here going through Seiko is horrible.
I dont really know sorry, check some local watchmaker.
And you are a beginner? Could have fooled me. You can work on my watch anytime.
This video took me a long time to make because needed to learn how to disassemble and assemble. A lot of trying :) Thank you
How to send you watch for restoration

Video is too dark and camera angle is poor, so I can not understan something.
Seiko 5 es chatarra brillosa, pura lata, nada que ver con aquellos primeros relojes de Seiko.
