Hello All I accidentally broke my Seiko?s SGF 719 winding stem. I found some of them on the ebay but there was indicated caliber not the model of the watch. Please can you tell me the caliber of SGF 719 model winding stem and where I can buy it except ebay because I live in the Republic of Georgia. Thank you beforehand Alexander

Question moved from Motorcycles category??

If it doesn't exist to Google, it may be a Chinese copy to 'a style'. Nothing comes up on the Model Number, but I found 'SII Tiger Cat Watch'. Click on the images tab to see if yours is there?

  Currently watch movements are made in Shizukuishi, Iwate (SII Morioka Seiko Instruments), Ninohe, Iwate (SII Ninohe Tokei Kogyo), Shiojiri, Nagano (Seiko .

Seiko watches from this period should have a setting stem that pull out half-way and fully. Pulling the stem out fully permits you to set the time. Pulling the stem out half-way should let you set the date by moving the crown forward/clockwise and set the day of the week by moving the crown backward/counterclockwise.

However, for this to work correctly, the watch must have the correct set stem. I have worked with a number of watches, including Seikos, where a generic stem was substituted after someone accidentally pulled out the crown and stem (Seiko replacement parts can be tough to find in the U.S., especially for discontinued models). If an incorrect stem has been installed, the day/date setting procedure I've just described may no longer work correctly. At that point, setting the date involves advancing the hands to get to the right date; day of the week may not be able to be set at all.

Good luck!

Hello Bob, Mike D75 here, The day of the week can be changed by pulling out the stem to set, every second time to 12"Oclock--2 O'Clock will cause the day to change.

try to a authorized seiko service center!they are not expensive!the only think that your watch needs is anew winding stem costs 3-4$!the job isnt difficult for a good watchmaker!the jwellersin watch service are the same as you buying soap from a barber shop!

Probably not. Seiko won't sell to you and watchmakers normally are not in the business to sell parts. To make money selling parts the person has to sell a lot of parts or mark up the few they do sell a lot. A watchmakers time is worth more repairing watches than selling a few parts.

If you are lucky and find someone willing to sell one do you know how to install it?

Depending on where the crown broke there could be other damage to the watch. The case tube could need replacing or the stem could need replacing. Depending on how the crown was broken there could also be damage to the setting/winding mechanism.

It is best to have a qualified watchmaker repair this for you.

Good luck, hope this helped.

Without the watch model it is hard to help you set the watch. Some Seiko watches use the watch stem which has two positions. Sometimes it is hard to identify the indentations so you may want to pull the stem all the way out then carefully push the stem to the first indentation. This will activate the alarm until it is pushed all the way in. When it is in the alarm on position, you can use the buttons to set the alarm time. However, I have 10 Seiko watches, and they are all unique to their functions, so it is best that you go to the link below and put the caliber code from the case back and look at the instructions.

mcdevito75 here, hello Diane, I'm afraid your jeweler is correct, and so are you. It is adviseable to pull the stem out to save the battery BUT, only if your not going to wear your watch for a long time, not just over night, here"s the problem!! the quartz mechanism and most of the works are plastic, and plastic while fairly flexable when new, gets hard over time, your pulling the stem to stop the watch everyday or even once a week most likely broke the switch in the mechanism that starts the watch, if so your only option is to replace the movement if you can get one. Pull the stem to stop your watch only if your not going to wear your watch for say 2 weeks toa month.

Ensure crown is in neutral position i.e. pressed home (not in set hands posn.) Remove back and adjacent to the winding stem on the movement there should be a small button (may be indicated with an arrow) depress this gently whilst withdrawing the crown and stem from the watch. Ensure you don't engage to set hands position in the process. You might also find a couple of screws securing the movement into the case. P.S. Usually don't need to remove from case to replace battery.

If you pull out the stem 1/2 way, you set the date one direction, and the day the other. If you pull it out all the way, it moves the hands and sets the time.
