After a recent request from my eldest daughter for another mid size Seiko diver, I came across this item from Ramon aka thewatchcollector on fleabay:

No bezel, 0050 caseback & not running but cheap & challenging, he's watches are just what I like. I have a bought a few from him in the past & they all scrub up well.

 

Very mucky movement from a hard life in the Philippines:

The chapter ring has been glued to the dial, the feet are detached, the four marker is loose, lume is grubby & the dial is marked:

Manage to track down a bezel from speedtimerkollektion lacking some paint:

I wont go through the stripdown of the movement as it has been well covered here and elswhere but after a few hours of VIM & the wire brush its back in the case with a new balance (the old one being a bit rusty):

Glad I put the new balance in as it looks good on the timegraper:

Dial cleaned & tidied (will need to re-fix the feet though, its a tad out), bezel repainted, new crystal, new o-rings & (just for a change) a nato strap:
