    The L.U.Chopard GMT is a "caller" watch, not a "traveller" one.

          @Bailey 10 days is pushing it for any kind of repairs, but you might be able to find someone. If you want to do a repair and have period correct pieces it may take quite some time.

          Best of luck on the repair and let us know how you make out. Also, huge congratulations on the upcoming! Cheers 🙂

            @Bailey …had one other thought. Just wear the watch on the wedding day and don’t worry about it working or not. You can have the memories of wearing it on your special day and you’ll be so busy that you won’t be looking at it anyway. Send it away after the wedding and find someone who can fix it properly.

              @goosehd Thanks for the congrats man, yeh that's what I was thinking. However it is a touch too big, so at the very least would need some links taking out if that's possible with the design of the strap.

                  Congratulations Bailey. Once you are married, you may find that being correct twice a day, like a broken watch, is a good result!

                    I agree with @goosehd, I’d wear that beautiful watch from your grand dad as is. You don’t want to rush a restoration job on such a sentimental piece.

                    Excited for you, all our best from Canada!

                      @Brandrea Cheers man really appreciate it. I totally agree, definitely an after thought leaving it this late. I'm told by @Ross this was potentially Seiko's first waterproof watch which if true is pretty cool!

                        I have to admit I ordered one after seeing this picture. 😬

                        It still eludes me, why the hour hands are not luminous. 🤔

                          @Bailey a strap adjustment should be easy, the jeweller just needs to pop a few links out. It'll probably take a few minutes.

                          Nice watch and congratulations on your upcoming nuptials.

                              Bailey, I can attempt to find that out for you if you like. I have a friend who’s sort of a Seiko expert and he’s intrigued by your watch.

                              Can you post a shot of the caseback?

                                @Cole I love this thing, the Seikos are so comfortable on the wrist. The black hands are luminous, but you’re right, it really ain’t worth a shit lol. I love the subtle hints to the character. The shadow possession jutsu on the indices which are shaped like shogi game pieces - that gets me.

                                          @Bailey According to my friend, this is a Seiko Ref# 6602-8010 and it would have been made in April of 1967. So while not an early waterproof release it is a direct descendant.

                                          I hope that helps.

                                          It’s worth a proper restoration not withstanding its sentimental value. A keeper.

                                          Once again, congratulations on the upcoming weddding.
