It just happens to you. You want to see how it works and it's a disaster. Many amateur watchmakers remember opening their first watch and it often ends badly. This is the story of this Seiko whose case I decided one day to open and clean the dial. Result: I ruined the movement and wrecked the dial. I broke this watch that was perfectly functional. A little ashamed, I left it in a corner, swearing to myself that I would repair it one day. That was 5 years ago. And then I ended up restoring it quite recently. I reassembled the movement, replaced the defective parts, found a beautiful original dial. And here it is back, perhaps more beautiful than before! I love these Seikos from the 70s. A beautiful 37mm diameter with a thin bezel that offers a beautiful opening of the dial. I also appreciate the integrated crown which gives a pleasant roundness to the case. The silver tint of the sunray dial goes very well with the date disc. The case is also very thin despite an automatic movement. I really like this little watch that I always wear with pleasure
