Do you have a knackered Seiko watch with a 7s26 movement?

Guys,

Further to this thread:

I've been trying to find a knackered Seiko watch with a 7s26 movement, and a glass back.

I've looked on EBay, and although there are quite a few abroad, many of them seem to be cobbled together from bits of other Seikos, or have the wrong movement.

All I need is an original, but knackered watch. Cosmetic condition is irrelevant, missing strap/bracelet, cracked crystal, dings and dents are fine. Looking to pay about £15 - it's purely to get a feel for how they are put together and to reverse engineer the case internals.

If anyone has, or knows of a suitable candidate, please let me know.

Cheers!

I'll send you mine! Scratched and the bracelet is stretched, but it's a 7S26

You could also use Seiko caliber 7002, 7009
with a few mods.
