“ The combined effect of foreign competition and the loss of their protective exchange rate would have decimated the Swiss watch industry even if it hadn't been for quartz movements. But quartz movements were the final blow. ”

The Brand Age

Received this little sprocket wheel from Australia last week; it should fix the date setting on my recently acquired Seiko 5606-8110.

The 56 movement series is a great Seiko movement series from the 70s; with the little issue that the date quickset can literally fall apart, as they used a plastic wheel - which reduces wear on the day/date disc, but after 50 years, the gear gives up instead. Wish me and my staking set luck :)
