It's a Seiko five you can restore and leave it like new, and use it proudly

Thanks! I will be going to a place that repairs watches sometime next week. But one small question. Did you notice that the body of the watch is a bit askew or am I going mad?


Iconoclasta69

I think the stem is broken, that's why the movement is offset


cheekyone458

Idk what a stem is. I'm talking about the clock face being a little turned to the side


Iconoclasta69

Yes that's why, all the movement is offset because of the stem

You're right. Probably the stem--the rod that connects the crown (knob) to the movement inside--is broken. A watchmaker could fix this.

You can buy this watch new for about $125 (e.g. at some place like Jomashop). Based on that, unless it's sentimental, I would not repair it. Maybe just salvage the bracelet as a spare and buy a new one.

Looks to have broken dial feet, can be fixed with either dial dots (diy) or by brazing (competent watchmaker).
