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 ๐
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 ๐

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

Watch nut. Too many really but I very much enjoy the diversity of my collection. I like modern and vintage, particularly any vintage with a sub dial. Into homages as I feel they give the look without...
