Question's of interest to a : Seiko 7T34-6A09 Flightmaster

[longbike]

Aloha ,

I have this Seiko 7T34-6A09 Flight Master  Chrono. that was stopping and going after a

battery change. I need to find out this about it if possible please.

Questions :

1- Does it have a battery reserve meter ?

2- This one is the Gold model with ......Four Dials,

Top is the ...... Stop Watch Seconds Dial,

Left side is the .... Watch Seconds Dial,

Bottom is the ... Alarm Setting.

Next to the Crown is another dial with ..... 31 - count, it must be the Date ?

__________________________________________

Changed to a ( new fresh battery ), 8:00 A.M. this morning (watch is working now).

It has been running from today at ..... ( 8:00 a.m. till now ... 4:00 p.m. yet.

Changed Battery, short circuited   .... AC.  (Ok )

Had .... 3 batteries , Second one holds the most. ( First & Third ...? )

__________________________________________

Note: It seems like it favors a .... 8 Hour pattern for running.

__________________________________________

Have to see if it goes beyond this night.

Note:

Found out that the movement holder was Magnetized so I removed it for now.

(As it was suggested it probably needs a service check. ) 

Just a few questions to learn more about this type of watch.

I had one of these years ago that I gave to my brother.  He loved the watch, but gave it back because he said it lost time.  Lots of time...like 30-60 minutes a day.  I didn't believe him, and thought he was just setting the watch wrong.

After observing it for awhile sitting on my desk, it didn't lose a single second...it ran bang-on.  I observed it for over a week, and it ran fine.  Then I decided to wear it for awhile.  Sure enough, when on the wrist it lost time just like my brother said it did.

I never figured out why.

Borel used to have complete 7T34 movements, but I am not sure they still do.

Thanks Cobrajet, I did notice that also a couple times. So what I did was get my other one on a good deal. Its a (SNAD08 Seiko Flight Master Slide rule ). I got it with everything and it was only used a couple times . (  It was for ..... $130.00 and 98 %  new. )

Nice big Gold one but that's the only Gold watch I own, don't like Gold Watchs.
