My father in law was given this back in the 70s when he worked for swaco. I found it in an old cigar box with only the partial, what I am assuming is 925 silver, hinged turquoise bracelet. It’s still ticking away. My wife said I could have it if at some point I give it to my son. I’m a watch junkie, I got several daily drivers and a few that aren’t. I’d like to get it restored to wear, the crystal is scratched to **** and it’s gunked up.

I may have a piece of turquoise that will fit that you can have. PM me with a picture of the bracelet.

My father was a Seiko man. My two older brothers got em all. I think he had three. Hell, my oldest brother slipped one right off his wrist just minutes after he died.

Thank you but I only have one piece of the bracelet, most of it is missing

Ok

 

[JMD]

Very cool... Are you going to find some turquois and repair the bracelet as well?

Afraid not, I think there are three pieces of the bracelet missing. It would be cool to wear a big sterling and turquoise bracelet walking around but it’s think it will look sharp with a nice leather strap also

I got that rebuild kit you linked me, I’m in the queue with A. He’s a busy man . I’m excited for this too

Heres the finished product. 'A' knocked it out of the park. He made a video of the repair and should be putting it on his youtube channel. I can't believe how good this 50 year old seiko looks, it will eventually make it to one of my kids but right now...ITS MINE..ALL MINE
