Seiko 7019A case back cracked

[Nednico]

Hello!

I hope my message will find everyone of you in good health.

I'm actually working on a vintage Seiko and the case back is cracked (see the pictures).

Do you have any idea/solution to repair it or it has to be replaced? 

Thank you and have a nice week-end.

There are a lot of these watches around so you may be able to buy a junker watch and use the back. By the way, several versions/models of the Seiko watch back will work.

Good luck

Thank you David!

I will look around.

Hi   By the looks of the caseback and all the scribe marks its had a busy life. Is the case actualy cracked right through or are you refering to the deep scratch across the case back.

[Nednico]

Yes it has! I'm referring to the cracked on the right as bellow.

Thats a nasty little crack, not a lot you can do but change the back. looks like a hunting on ebay job.

Thank you for your help, I will definitely look for a new one on eBay.
