Got myself a pre-loved Seiko 5 at a good deal

Clearly worn a lot by the previous owner, the seconds hand is replaced and the hour hand is barely holding it together (I'm scared the lume will break off and fall into the day/date window)

I've heard the 7s26 shares hands with the NH35 as well making hands easier to source, still haven't been able to find ones online :(, any suggestions would be really helpful

After checking the serial number, its a 2015 January made watch with a 7S26C, somehow keeps time a lot better than my citizen with a 8200 movement, needs a service tho.

The plan is to buy a bunch of non-working 7s26 watches and try to fix them and then maybe eventually using that knowledge, do a full service on this one.

What should I do with this watch?

So I've had this Seiko 7T62-0GM0 for years, it was gifted to me by a wealthy relative who lives in the US, I didn't really know much about watches then and wore the ever living shit out of this (as can be seen by the completely damaged crystal). The chronograph also stopped working when a friend of mine accidently hit a random button when it was running.

It then sat for maybe 4-5 years and now I've found it, replaced the battery but its completely non responsive :(,

Any suggestions as to how to get this running again? its a mecha quartz movement and no one wants to touch it where I live (Goa)

If not is there any chance I can give/sell this to someone who can get it running, replace the crystal and actually enjoy this watch? (its way to heavy for me)

new (to me) bike :')

getting my first bike at 25 wasn't really the plan, I'd have wanted one sooner, life just turned out this way. 5k kms, 2022 Model, got it at a bargain, can't complain 💃

probably not the best for my height (6'2) but still beats my posture on the Jupiter 💀

I didn't expect the jump from 100cc to 200 would be that noticeable, I now understand why my mother was worried about me getting it :')
