1979 Seiko 5. Apologies for the day date. I wore this Monday evening and very oddly now this morning both wheels won't turn. Thought I'd put it up anyway before it goes on the bench later ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you Colin, I hope so too! In theory it should be. It's more finicky than anything normally. It's a hands and dial off. Dial off isn't always easy on older watches. I've never had day and date stop before so I'm quite excited to see what's going on! Doesn't help that the eyes aren't as good as they once were ๐Ÿ™‚

Hope you have a good day. You're helping to repair people so we're kinda linked in one way today ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ‘

Thank you bud. I've left it for a bit as the darned dial doesn't want to budge. I'll just have to risk more force at some point. Still eager to find out why both wheels have conked. It'll either mean a very simple solution or not so I'm guessing.

Hope the sun has continued shining for you. ๐Ÿ‘

Thank you Tom. The way the 'fix' is currently going I might need you to send me one of your wrenches ๐Ÿคฃ......or where I was brought up in Birmingham, we'd say 'just get a bigger hammer'! ๐Ÿ‘
