Seiko 5606A Lord Matic

This is an "in progress" one, not quite finished yet.

The case halves are held together by sprung pins, release via a couple of small notches between the strap lugs. It's generally in pretty good condition, though the movement was sticky with old oil and barely trying to run.

The case was absolutely filthy & took about an hours alternating between the ultrasonic, scrubbing and scraping to get it something like reasonable. The good side of that is that it's apparently not been messed with, just worn until it stopped.

The crystal is good, under the dirt; likewise the dial and hands are decent.

One for the "Blue dial" list once it's done! It varies between grey and light blue, depending on the lighting.

I have come across cases like that and again they always seem to be filthy.
