This one takes me hours and days of hard job trying to fix it.
Bought in store as not woking for 25 euro in used conditions with marks here and there and.....a lot of dead skin
I was looking for this watch for a long time so i tried a battery but it doesn't lights up...no chance: the watch should be open!
And what i found?Acid,acid and acid again.....As all digi ana watches disassembling operations wasn't easy at all.
Cleaning job did the trick and finally digital parts slowly started to run,before with flashing digits and after some hour with clear and stay on number...but....but....the rainbow effect (hard purple and green) was so bad,so i cut a new front film in order to replace the old one.
I was happy but another problem was there, the analogue parts: hands doesn't advance....
Adam and Kasper told me to use a line free machine to "unlock" hands from hidden dirt....so i bought one from a local store in Milan at 9 euro (very cheapo) that does the job very well.
Now the watch is 100% working as in November 1979
Enjoy

Some watches are made to last only as long as they are fashionable
Some watches, simply are not made to last
Seiko watches are designed to withstand the ravages of both time and fashion
Someday perhaps, all watches will be made this way
