[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3951423, member: 24867"] After disassembly I opened up the mainspring barrel. The spring was quite dirty, but it wasn't too bad. It looks worse than it is because the factory lubricant used by Seiko at the time was a black grease. [ATTACH type="full"]341379[/ATTACH] Another issue causing poor running, so much so that my machine couldn't get a good signal, was that the fact of the stones on the pallet fork were dirty. Even the smallest amount of contaminants on these jewel faces will drastically affect the ability of a watch movement to keep good time. [ATTACH type="full"]341378[/ATTACH] After all of this was done, everything (including the case) was fully disassembled, all gaskets were removed, etc. Everything (except for the bracelet) went through a few rounds of cleaning. The bracelet was left alone because it was damaged and the owner got a NOS bracelet with this watch at the end of it. He got the original back as well, but I just left it alone since it was going to be fitted with a new one. Pics below are of all parts on the watch, minus all of the screws. There are tons of different types of screws in this movement and I keep those meticulously organized throughout the rebuild process. I just did not want to take the chance on getting them mixed up by placing them with the parts for the purposes of this picture.
