John, You have a wonderful collection of Seikos :)! I admire your focus with the BellMatics. Seiko made many different styles of quality mechanical Bells and your collection captures them well! Thanks, and enjoy :o)!

I bought a nice-looking Bell-Matic from an auction site and am pretty pleased with it, but want some minor things fixed. Can someone recommend a good repair establishment for this old watch? Sent it to Coserv to look at but they say replacement parts (crystal, waterproof seals) are no longer available. Linked to a site called vintageseikowatches from here, looks like Ekim knows what he is doing, can you recommend him? Thanks

Hi received my bell matic 4006 6031 by Mail bought on the internet. Excited as I was I rotated the crown clockwise and back a bit to fast and than my disaster! the crown fell of my watch. You can push it back and screwing it tied but after a view winds it falls of again. A local watch seller says that this is not normal but not unuseual and says He can fix it with some glue. What is this a joke? I dont want to wear a bellmatic with a crown taped on a pin with glue. Do you?. so what are the options. can you give me some usefull advise? Thanks bye. Jaap

i have a 4006-6010 042220 17 Jewels and have just purchased another, it was my fathers watch which he gave me 20 yrs ago. i have previously owned 2 other bell-matics since but i have hankered over my fathers but sadly the bracelet doesnt fit any more as i have no spare links. i enjoyed the web site and thought it was fantastic to look at all the various types.

John has singlehandedly wrenched me away from my beloved Seiko chronos and has me chasing down Bellmatic watches, parts and information. Having had no real interest in these great timepieces over the last thirty-odd years, I am a new convert to 'Bellmania'. My thanks, John, for the great correspondence and especially for your dedication in creating this web site.

even if its 1960-70*s. Seiko doesnt make a bad watch, in my opinion.Just got no.4006-7000-835186, from another serviceman for 60.00 USD--its loud enough to wake you up for duty. Rock On Free world...

I really enjoyed seeing your watches. It's inspiring to have a fellow "WIS" dedicated to their collection and put them out there for the world to see. My concentration has been on Seiko divers, but your collection has me thinking about picking up a Bell-Matic or two. Keep up the great work and keep it coming.

Impressed to find such great site dedicated to a model. Seiko Corp should be proud of this work and of their bellmatics as well. I understand now how superb gift was the 74' bellmatic my dad gave me. Greets...
