Service: Seiko Lord Marvel calibre: 5740

P1070027 Another very cool watch was sent in to be restored! This time a Seiko Lord Marvel 5740-8020U. It’s got a broken mainspring and the case is a little rough! 
P1070029

The movement looks great. I love the micro regulator!  I start with sending the case off to Replateit in Canada.

The dial and hands.

Here you can see the winding/setting mechanism after removing the dial.

I start taking the base movement apart. Plenty of cap jewels in the gear train.

P1080456

Here you can see the gear train layout.

P1080459

As suspected the mainspring was broken! Wow I always love a jewelled barrel lid!

P1070030

Not to worry I have NOS mainspring ref#401-431

P1080477

Movement has been cleaned and is ready to be put back together.

P1080479

I see that the balance moves freely.

P1080480

Gear train comes back in place.

P1080481

I see the gear train moves freely.

P1080482

I fit the balance into the movement and it’s ticking again!

P1080483

Superb performance!

P1080484

The dial and hands go back onto the movement.

P1080485

Movement goes into the newly restored case and looks super!

P1080486

A great looking watch. The quality of a Lord Marvel movement is very close to the Grand or King seiko!

    Hi, Awesome job there restoring the Lord Marvel.
    I have a Lord Marvel 36000 which needs to be serviced or perhaps restored.
    Can you please email me. Just need a quote before I send it over. I am in Canada.
