Seiko 5 snk807 bumped and bruised

This thing flew off my wrist, as the spring bar gave way, straight down (with some force behind it) into a puddle on pavement. Picked it up only to find a couple scrapes and a loose rotor ( was still ticking away!) Anyway, got the rotor fixed and good as new, with a couple scars. Pretty much shocked it wasn't in peices.

Wabi-sabi. 😉

Hey at least it survived

Still looks good.

Poor thing!

·

Only way to fix the scratches is sand out the bad parts with different grade grits and then redo the brushing. Or sandblast it like I did

Nicks and dings are part of the story

Tough as nails all I can say. Also I can't believe these watches are going for $245.00 cad on Amazon.ca, and that's the prime price i believe.

What's your take? Looks like a diy build. At least the hands say so.

lol the rotor used to come loose on my 5 all the time, very annoying. The last time I cranked it on there with a full sized flat blade instead of my watchmakers drivers and it’s been good since lol
