New crusty shitter day, /wt/. I've had the donor Seiko 5 on the left for a while now, and I really liked how beefy it was compared to every other Seiko 5 model. Unfortunately it's too far gone, the dial is damaged, the case is messed up, and a lot of parts in the movement are worn out, so it's only good as a donor.

So I hunted down a better example of the exact same reference. The one on the right has a flawless dial, a good, not worn-out movement, and a case that only needs a light free-hand polishing to look presentable. Also managed to get a new, parts-matching crystal for it.

Maybe next week I'll get around servicing the movement, replacing the crystal, ultrasonic cleaning the case, and also try to polish out the bezel a bit. This will be my second-to-last watch for a while, I still need to pay customs on a Pre-Bond Seamaster, and then I'm seriously done buying for at least till spring, now I really need to sell some.
