I could not resist this one another Seiko from 1974, a Seiko 6119-7103. Bought on eBay as a non runner. Figured whatever it would be I could fix. Turned out to be a screw from the train bridge had come loose and lodged itself between the case and the barrel stopping the movement completely. Upon examination I found that the movement had also been very recently serviced. Weird why someone would carry out that work and then sell as a non runner as it was easy to spot… Sometimes you can just get lucky and this occasion it was my turn. I bought a new crystal and lightly polished the case to give it a bit of lustre. Bracelet had 45 years of dirt wedged into it and took considerable cleaning before I could even contemplate wearing it. Nice now its finished.
