I am not particularely enthused by japanees timieces, yet , If not mistaken your seiko

Got a  33 jewels and hi- beat movement, in which case it is collectable.

I agree with Nucejoe that your movement is indeed collectible. Repair is almost always possible so why not give that a try first?

Ok, Thank you so much. I will try to repair first.

i just wondering if it can be swap with my other watch. I have MIDO Commander which is 35mm too.

I honestly think you would be doing yourself and especially this watch a disservice if you altered it  or tried to work on it if you are not inclined to work on this watch . It is a vintage Hi-Beat and has some worth . It sounds as if you want to try to dabble in doing modifications to a watch . If so why not sell this watch and get what you want with the proceeds . You should get a good price . 

 

Good Luck ....

 

FYI ,  I just  found my  Presmatic last night . I had it stored and forgot I had it . These movements are said to be nearly in the same realm as the vintage Grand and King Seikos .

Here is a good article on the Seiko 5106 movement taken from " Adventures in Amateur Watch Fettlikg " , Written by Martin in another great article by him.

An interesting read .....
