Seiko a359a-5010

[intrax]

Hi Guys/Girls,

My first post here...

I started a restoration project on my seiko a359a watch.

The lcd panel (seiko partno.: 4510 540) is cracked and there is no liquid crystals fluid left in the panel as it seems to have evaporated.

I'm asking for expert advice: Is this a 'lost cause' or would it be possible to get a replacement lcd panel from somewhere for a reasonable price or only from a 'scrap parts watch' ?

kind regards,
intrax

Hi and welcome to the board from all us.

I cracked lcd is impossible to fix...but it's not that hard to find an donor on the bay. You will have to look for a beat-up seiko a359 so you could get it for a good price.

Thanks your reply and welcome.

Has seiko stopped delivering and servicing parts for these vintage watches?

Maybe there is some 'secret' stock somewhere in Japan. I was hoping for…

Seems to be ok (only rainbow effect but you can change the front film)....
