my brain goes "thonk"
Is anyone familiar with this watch? I just purchased one from the bay and I'm waiting for it to come in the mail. It's an automatic. I guess you knew that if you are familiar with this watch.
I bought one off the bay myself a few weeks ago. It will serve as my backup watch. Love it. My only issue was I wasn’t able to remove links from the band myself, and had to take it to a watch guy.
I bought a "rebuilt" one from India. Lasted quite a while, gained a few minutes per day, but now it won't run. I'm too cheap to get it looked at, as it cost less than 17 bucks total shipped from India. Miss it tho. Got lots of comments on it.
I got a set of cheap watch tools off amazon for ~$25 about 8 months ago when I bought two watches with bracelets from Jomas shop and local places wanted 25 bucks each to adjust the sizes for me. Not quality tools by any stretch of the imagination but work fine. I adjusted my bracelets and have changed batteries and replaced bands for several family members since and the set is holding up, except the tweezers in the set but those are easy to replace/substitute.

I'm awful lazy, but if it don't start working by slapping it on a table, I may tear it apart to see how it works. The joys of forced retirement!Ebay should have a popup message "Never buy Japanese watches from India and Russian watches from Ukraine". Sellers from Singapore are pretty decent when it comes to Seiko 5.
