5146-7040 Presmatic Hi-Beat
This arrived with a completely destroyed crown wheel and winding pinon, broken stem, covered in dirt and terrible on the timegrapher. 28800 boh, original bracelet and running like a champ. Gearing up to sell on a site I’m building 🔨

Yes, I've done a number divers including 75XX quartz, but no 7549. The movement and case construction are close however. It looks like the 150M is missing a bezel? Not sure if you still have that. Also It would be good to know if the movements are still functional. IMO the 150m might end up costing more than it's worth, maybe not the Tuna. Conversely If they have sentimental value or if you plan to wear them as a daily it's a different story. Are there DMs in this app? haha I don't really use watchcrunch much.

the 150m was a gift from my father for my Bar Mitzva.. so it’s 37 years ago. and the 600m was his own watch so both are sentimental for me and that’s why I’m checking options. I had the movements worked on a few years ago and I believe both were working great.
I would need a complete restoration for bezel, straps, etc. along with full service.
Any idea on the cost? I'm new here so no DMs for 14 days…
#seiko "Presmatic" series featured a high-frequency movement in the 1970s, offering improved accuracy.
