I broke my old Seiko 5. Tried to change the time when coming back from holiday, but did it when the day/date was in the middle of changing from one day to the next. Something has clearly gone awry because the adjuster wheel just spins, both directions, and doesn't change either day, date or time.

It's a snk805k2 so not worth much.

Something for a Timsons to have a go at??

I m sure these used to be an £80 watch!

I haven t used Timpsons so can’t comment on them but someone like RiggaTheMighty off here should be able to help. https://riggarepairs.co.uk/?fbclid=PAZnRzaANsHPJle...

I think a cheaper option would be the Lorus RL411BX9.

Seiko group, Seiko movement and about £100.
