My Dad has owned this Seiko 5 for approximately 1 billion years. It's had the occasional service, the glass and strap replaced a couple of times, but now it is desperately in need of a some proper TLC. It will stop running if left still for more than a few hours, and just by listening to it, it sounds less than perfect.
He had a Seiko dealer look at it, but was told that it was too old to service.Â
He was gifted it sometime in the early 70's, and it holds huge sentimental value, not just to him, but to me also. It's the watch he's worn almost everyday for the last 50+ years.
I know there's many of you here with vast watch based knowledge. Can anyone recommend a good place to have it looked at?
It's not a super expensive, rare, or sought after example, by the looks of the prices on the second hand market. But to us, it's very special.
