What can replace the 7S36
11 calibres of the Seiko NH / 4R / 7S group checked against the 7S36: diameter, height, hand holes, date window, crown and dial feet. A verdict marked “not confirmed” lacks one of those figures for the 7S36 or the other calibre.
Not published, so not checked in several comparisons:
- hand holes for 7S36, 4R34, NH70, NH72, 4R36 and 4R35
- date position for 7S36
- crown position for 7S36, 7S26, 4R34, NH70, NH72, 4R36 and 4R35
- dial feet for 7S36, 7S26, 4R34, NH70, NH72, 4R36 and 4R35
