I took the orginal movement apart following a You Tube video but after finding, what looks like a corroded crystal and the tiny size of the parts that I removed, I decided against a rebuild and so I’ve bought a new movement for £25, assuming I can successfully swap it over, I’ll consider it a bargain.
@Mister_H Do I recall you having a repair carried out on yours?
I have His and Hers MX-5 watches that my wife brought at Elvington, never really worn and boxed, just need batteries, any interest out there.
Great thread, love some of the weird and wonderful.
Currently wearing a 1970’s-1980s Seiko Silver Wave
From what I have read, It has a double wave on the rear indicating its water resistant to 100m and has a screw down crown, but it feels like it could do with an overhaul as that feels a little tricky to engage, and I wouldn’t wear it swimming to test the water resistance 
. The dial is brushed, in a silver/white colour depending on the light, and it has a single quartz crystal image on the dial (above the silver wave script) that appears to mean its not thermo compensated, but still more accurate than our COSC watches.
That little Vostok Kadett is supposedly ‘salvaged’ from Chernobyl. I bought it from a guy just over the border in Belarus so may be true.
The 24hr one came from the factory in Christopol and the Amphibia from Cornwall. I’ve customised them all with Fatboy pins, vintage bezels, Cosmonaut backs and vintage NATO straps.
The skeleton is from Thailand, Casio from USA and the Luftwaffe from Germany. Been going to sell them all except one but can never decide which one 
Nope, I sold it some time ago but never had it repaired.
OK, I thought I remembered you finding out that it had a date dial behind the face, which it does.
This is my current favourite, nice and simple, cheap, compared to the rest of the collection.
So a good everyday watch.
What do you mean by a date dial? How do I access it?
Tried finding MX-5 watch on ebay, nothing found, where do you find them.
You can’t access it. The movement has it but there is no window on the face to see it. It has this movement.
Austin A40 ?
Wolsley 1500?
Yes, as you deduced correctly in 2022, but I was unable to get up to Scotland…
I can not remember this morning never mind 2022!!!
You sound like me…
There’s a couple on there now… The 10th Anniversary ones anyway.
