An old Seiko 5 with sentimental value has come to light smile

The good news is the movement is fine and still keeping time smile

The not so good news, is that the glass is scratched and scored, so really needs to be replaced. The case is quite battered, but I quite fancy leaving that alone. The bracelet looks non-original and is knackered too.

So... can anyone point me in the direction of a replacement glass and bracelet?

TIA smile

Hi,

If you can post the exact model code so say 7009 or 6309- or 7s26-
I can tell you the exact glass diameter right away.

I'm considering replacing my glass too - it's only very lightly scratched but the Hardlex stuff seems a bit poor. Sapphire glass would be better -I think.

Thanks chaps.

With regards the Seiko 5 its rated to 50m or 100m so thickness is most likely 1.5mm.

Can't find details on the glass diameter probably around 30-31mm so will need checking with a digi caliper.
