Hi, I have a Seiko watch which has an obsolete movement. It is of great sentimental value to me. I have done some research online and it appears that my watch was manufactured in May 1985.
On the back it reads 6532 - 5230. Beneath that it reads 552762.
Is there any way I can source a replacement movement for the watch please?
Many thanks for your help.
Phil
Hi, please tell us more about your watch and what's going on. Not running after a new battery? Trying to run?
The first 4 numbers indicate the caliber number. Your watch is powered by Seiko caliber 6532. The second set of numbers is the style. The longer string of numbers is the serial number.
It won't be easy to find a replacement movement for your watch, but you could find a working watch (on eBay for example) and use the movement from it. Most sellers won't go so far as showing the movement or listing the specific caliber number, but if you end up having to swap the entire movement then it would be in your best interest to find the same version.
In order to replace the entire movement, you will need to open the watch to find out if it is a 6532A or 6532B (they are slightly different). But before you get that far into it, you may want to test the coil - or even just swap the coil from the parts watch you purchase to see if that gets it running. The coils are the same between A and B.
There are movements available but if you can fix yours that might be a better option.
