Another Seiko 5431 that started its life as a gold plated model. I bought this for lunch money and intended to use parts from the 6119 movement on my other 5431 however I didn’t use any parts so cleaned this one up for the sake of it. It was my first restore back to brass watch and found that I needed to spray with clear coat to prevent tarnish.
This was also the first watch movement I took apart and put back together to get it running again. It took me 3 days to complete the “service” I was over the moon when it began to run again, the sense of achievement was so pleasing and is something I am now addicted to.
I really don’t wear this but its worth displaying here to demonstrate what can be achieved from such a strap watch.
