Hello, just wondering if someone can help me with the caliber of this Seiko movement. I need to replace the balance staff. Approx. 1950’s I think. Ref # 13068 Thanks Anthony

You may have to pull the dial and hands to see if there is the information you require behind the dial. With the dial off, photograph the winding and setting parts, and send pictures of the front and back of the movement to several material houses to see if they can help. Perrins or Swiss Watch Parts Disributors (both in Vancouver), might be good places to start. Then broaden your search to U S material houses such as McCaws in Toledo, Ohio.

Looks to be an early Seiko Marvel.
I'll have a look at my parts box tomorrow (geting late here).

Note that they have no caliber number, just the name of the caliber, in this case "Marvel".
Marvel and Lord Marvel was also appplied to a number of Seiko watches.
