cavi Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 So I bought this vintage Seiko, just thought it looked interesting. It seems to run fine and even the chrono more or less works. However with the crown pushed in as in the picture it does not function as if it is in. If I push on the crown, it will move in further and change the date. Does anyone know if this is normal? I can take the back off latter at home if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Do you mean runs with crown out but not when you push it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavi Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 no, as you can see in the picture the crown is in what appears to be the in position, completely flush with the case, but if you push in on it, it clicks in further and changes the date, as soon as you let go it pops back to where it currently is.

cavi Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 that is the normal in position, but I can still depress it and it will change the time, but as soon as I let go it pops back to this position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavi Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 here is a bad shot of the inside of the watch, it does have seiko markings on the mechanism, appears very old and beat up, also it did not have a gasket, something I will have to rectify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavi Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I did find a similar one for sale and the movement looks identical. I plan on taking it to my local guy for service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this is the normal behavior of that movement: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f21/setting-day-date-seiko-6139-a-264224.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
