Hi there,

I am fairly new to the 7axx watches, but I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pretty 702A watch this week. This is my second 7a28 - I already purchased a 7049 a couple of months ago.

The 702A has a small flaw, which I would like to fix nevertheless; the 1/10s hand has been slightly damaged so I am looking for a replacement. I see these hands offered on ebay but in full white, whereas the 702A has a chrome center. Would anyone happen to know a source for this, or even a part number?

Thanks!

Eric.

If you've checked Seiko Oceania's database, then you'll have seen that most of the parts data for the 7A28-702A is missing. :(


I'm going to stick my neck out, by saying that the sub-dial hand you seek is probably the same part used as the constant seconds hand on the 7A28-7050, 7A38-701X and 7A38-704X. Which, if I'm correct, would make it a Seiko p/n 04E14AK.


Ebay seller seikoparts14 (Tony Plaza) has them:

Tony's photo isn't the clearest (they're in a poly bag), so I've asked the question. I'll forward you his reply. ;)

Much obliged Paul! Tony has confirmed these are the ones with the polished center, so I have ordered one from him.
