Fix it or leave it.

I have a seiko sna548 I inherited after an uncle passed. Great guy!

The chronograph is not working probably should I fix it? It's probably going to cost more to fix it than the watches worth. I think the watch is worth the memories, not the functions

Weirdly I think if you get it fixed it will lose its soul….

I'd have the hands reset to point straight up and then ignore. However, what's this about an alarm?

That's what I was thinking. The functions that I use on it work perfectly.

I think it does have an alarm. I have to dig into this a little deeper. I don't wear it too often. I had a pulsar that had an alarm a while ago that I wish I still had.

It would be cool if the alarm worked. But do you need a quartz chrono? I'd be tempted to leave as is.

I have a broken chrono my dad gave me. It still keeps time but the main second hand does not move and the chrono functions do not work. I might get around to fixing it at some point, but it gets wrist time even now. I think sentimental value is worth more.

I think I will leave as it is. Down the road. I'll look for another chronograph. I tend to like a more simple dial.

I think the sentimental value is worth keeping it as it is also. Most of the time fixing something on an "inexpensive" watch is worth more than the watch itself. I think if it had a Swiss movement or any other automatic watch I might fix it. But it being battery I probably won't.
