so i posted

how i fixed a loose rotor bearing. your thoughts?

and

loose rotor bearing from a seiko 5.

took a few attempts but that bearing is now nice and tight, installed back in my watch and working perfectly.
perhaps a small success but very encouraging for a newb.

thanks rob. just retired from the aerospace industry, doing really picky, precise work on electronic prototypes.
watch repair seems like a good fit as a hobby, and i love watches. such a beautiful expression of miniature mechanics. and i love a challenge.
