Step-by-step disassembly - full service of the Seiko NH36 / Seiko 4R36 movement.
I am using a macro lens and you will see everything in a great detail.
I am generally focusing on the sections that are being disassembled rather than the whole movement.

Great Leo. As always, an ideal video as a tutorial. I am going to disassemble and service my Seiko 4r36 with some fear and after watching your video twice. Until now I have always made Eta and some Vostok. But I have never dared with Seiko, watching the videos they seem more difficult to me. Allow me a question, in your opinion is a Seiko more difficult than an Eta? Or if I have made Eta I will have no problems with a Seiko. After this 4r I will go for a 6r that I have also seen that you have a video. Thank you.

@MacroTime28800 2 ай бұрын
It isn’t difficult at all. I think you probably feel a little uneasy because you’ve not done one before but once you’ve done one, you’ll realise that there’s nothing to worry about. You could always train on a cheap NH36 before you do the 4R 👍

@@MacroTime28800 Thanks Leo. It's a good idea to train with an NH36. I have some Seiko that, although they work well, have values of 1.0 ms error and 220-230 amplitude, including some 6r15. Right now I have just completely restored an ETA 2551 from 1968, which is very very small, and has run at +6 seconds per day...now I'm going to go for the Seiko. Thanks Leo.

I enjoyed that, sad to see the quality has dropped a fair bit with Seiko if you consider the much higher quality levels of the 7009/6309, have yet to own a NHxx powered watch as I thought I got one in my recent acquisition of a new Lorus automatic and it turns out to be a 7S26C inside. Am this weekend attempting my first 7009 rebuild, have done two Soviet Slava's and both working superbly so now to wade in deep into the world of repairing 'em :D

Nice video! Is there any big difference beetwen branded seiko and unbranded nh movts? I mean material quality first. I have a nh36 (built in a skx) with the 6r20's 28.800bph escapement system for 3 years. Accurate as the hell. I hope it will be reliable nh36. How often need service the escapement system?
@MacroTime28800
@MacroTime28800 2 жыл бұрын
I don’t think there is much difference between them. I have 6R24B here that looks very much the same as far as the materials go. The finishing is nicer on the 6R24B, you can see that on the bevelled edges but only under strong magnification. In my opinion, I would say get it serviced every five years or when the time keeping starts degrading, whichever comes first. Every watchmaker will have a different opinion how often to service watches, I’m comfortable servicing my watches every five years.

Does the movement come with minimal lubrication from the factory? Or does the watchmaker use a better quality set of lubricants? To achieve more accuracy?

@MacroTime28800 4 ай бұрын
Better quality, perhaps. There are never ending arguments which lubricants are the best lubricants. If you buy a movement, any movement, or a watch, the mechanism wouldn’t have been in motion for months, perhaps even years. The fresh lubricants will make a difference.

Personally, if it’s brand new, I’d ask for a replacement. If you bought it to practice on, start with a movement that works well and see whether you can take it apart, put it together and everything works well. If you got a movement/watch for a repair or service that would be different but a new movement, I’d get a replacement.

@MacroTime28800 Жыл бұрын
Hard to say. I have certainly seen broken metal parts in movements, setting lever springs etc. so we can’t say metal is 100% perfect. The plastic is not pretty, I’d also prefer the plastic not to be there but I think it will last for quite some time. If you are thinking of buying a Seiko that has plastic parts, I wouldn’t worry about it. Rolex caliber 3035 has plastic bushing in the minute pinion, it’s not just Seiko who’s guilty of plastic.

When you think about it, those gears are used for the day date change, so they are low usage. ETA's Powermatic 80 movement uses plastic for the escape wheel and pallet fork and get away with it.
