Complete frankenseiko off ebay:
The Hirsch 'Grand Duke' strap is probably worth more than the watch (as is the empty tin of milk toffees), but matches the black and red, unidirectional, bezel. The 40mm case is from Gianni Sabatini, the dial from a Seiko Quartz (any ideas which one?) and the movement is an automatic with about a 30 hour reserve.

I don't wear this watch anymore & have been thinking of letting it go - any ideas of the going rate ? I have searched & can't find any others for sale as a guide. The watch is mint , although I don't have the box or papers ( & I don't fancy ebay due to the high fees & scammers )
Thanks in advance for any help.
this is my dad's 8242-6000. Ignore the poor phone camera picture.
Was bought for him by my mother in 1980 to celebrate (commiserate?) being pregnant with me. The watch isnt worth anything other than the huge sentimental value it has, and will be worn on my wedding day next month to ensure that something of my dad's is present on me, seeing as how he cannot be there after passing away in January.

Anyone modded their watch? I have a 5 which I can use a donor case for this mod and can buy the other one with the dial for £60. I think it looks great and won't be an expensive thing to do.

I've also posted this on the £50 watches thread, but there might be more expertise here, so please forgive a double-post.
Chaps, I've broken my Seiko 5. I think I knocked it whilst camping and it's now stopped. Nothing is obviously/visibly broken. Any ideas? Any recommendations for repairers? Is it worth repairing?
Whilst there's undoubtedly appeal in shopping for a replacement, I'd prefer to revive this one if it's possible. I've had it for about 4 years I think.
