Today my SEIKO M159 5059 (SS ver) arrived. After having somewhat of a struggle opening the case, I saw that the movement looks very good. There was an old "Ray-O-Vac" battery that was lying around in the battery compartment, but was obviously dead as a doornail.
I will try replacing this movement with my other SEIKO M159 5059 watch with the broken LCD panel.
From the picture I uploaded, you can see what was wrong with this watch. The "Stem" was broken off on the watch case! I am not sure what happened or how it got broke off, but it looks almost like the stem was pulled out, and then broken downward! really strange, or is it strange? Does anyone know if there is a problem with stems breaking off easily with the SEIKO M159 5059?
I did test this new movement, and see that the Polarizer works just fine. All segments light up just fine. Originally, I was going to unscrew the screws from the LCD pant and transplant them to my other movement, but I decided against this because it does seem like this movement works fine.
Anyway,
Thanks toy for listening.
