Hello, is there a short list of parts that are (or are not) compatible between the NH35 and 7S26 series? 

My understanding is that the NH35A is an evolution of the 7S26, but adds hacking and hand winding.

I understand that the 7S26 came out in 1996 and was replaced by the NH series in 2011.

Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

I keep a list of 7S26 parts at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRN2UULQKTfKmhRStZhDdIOIQrqd6sPB-g6x2SKyQQjOvTBjG_7TQXQhAT4f1WqAX5QAPkIimi-3jqd/pubhtml

Then compare to a  NH36 or 4R36 service sheets which is posted here practically every day.

NH series are the version for OEM that says SII instead of Seiko on the rotor. The NH26 is not sold anymore because no OEM would buy it, but Seiko still makes and sells7S26 watches, because they need some sort of differentiator between mechanical entry level "Seiko 5" and one step above it, 4R36 watches of various denominations.

    it's not exactly a T end. this of course is extremely helpful let's look at the mainspring catalog see if it's there and also get an answer to the other question of the type of end it is. then we also have to go back and look at the bestfit book word answer to a question so an image below we see 2009 we see the dimensions and the initials DB which is definition of the end. so definition of the ends of the Springs it's not actually a T and it's a little more than that.   the problem is if it's not 100% correct then is it the correct watch? We need something on the bottom of the page notice how there's a star in front of the name? so according to this the parts seen in the image should all be identical but conceivably everything else may not be. often times you will find we go through the book a whole bunch of watches will have identical setting parts basically traced back to base caliber but lots of other variations. Let's look at best fit online and see what they tell us. Helpful because it's usually a newer listing unhelpful because is no pictures at all. usually with mainsprings you can have a little variations like the width can't be larger or it will not fit the barrel. Thickness didn't have a little bit of variations there we also get interesting problems of if the original spring was blued steel versus a modern white spring that will produce variations even if the thickness is the same. I'm not sure if there's a general rule on the percentage of the length but if it is too long it's going to interfere with your running time. then currently multitasking with too many windows open before I close best fit online I is went back and did a search for the company name no model number to see if there are other variations of mainsprings yes is lots of other variations watches but it looks like all of them use the exact same mainspring. So that gives you a best fit mainspring number and let's see if cousins has the GR mainspring it's a little bit thinner but everything else should work fine. out of curiosity I did a search for the best fit part number and here's one on eBay. Yes it's amazing what you can find on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/144612203497 oh and before you leave eBay you could do a search for  Zaria watch mainspring looks like there's quite a few mainsprings for a variety of models including yours then back to the cousins and looks like they also have a mainspring. Just be careful when you're ordering that it does say DB oh as they also have the spring with the regular end.          
  • Dial feet soldering machine

    By PaulRepairShop · Posted 16 minutes ago

    Recently I bought a dial feet soldering machine (complete kit with all materials and the machine itself with spare carbon tip). The machine should be helpfull in soldering new dial feet the a brass dial. In doing so I noticed the little chips of solder only flow to the new dial feet and not onto the dial itself. The brass dial and feet are well cleaned to the bare metal and flux is added together with the small chips. When rubbing with the carbon tip to the new dial feet, the solder immedialely flows onto the dial feet, but not flowing to the surface of the dial itself. It seems that the current (many sparks are noticed between carbon and dial feet) which is produced is strong enough for the solder to flow, but not enough to flow on the dial also. Has anyone have expirience with a dial feet soldering machine?

    Got enough watches there? 😉 A bucket of dead Ruskies like that requires an explanation. Be careful! Those are Australian spiders! The internet says they can fly, and kill you with a glance!

    Decreased teh length of the hairspring by 1 mm and regulated the collet to align the balance wheel nick to the middle nick (1 of 3 nicks) on the mainplate. The pocket watch runs very well now within a rate of 20 s/d (hanging position, so crown up).
