Well William...That has to be one of the weirdest things I've ever seen crap.gif...and would certainly have had me muttering WTF!!!

Now, being that you are way up there in Arctic Norway, any chance that your "safe" is a 6' x 6' block of solid ice with an advanced electronic locking system attached to it?  Maybe the watch experienced 30° below zero and whatever adhesive was holding that Seiko logo on couldn't take the extreme temperatures!dog smile.gif

All joking aside, I would have been as surprised as you seeing such a thing. 

Very nice work and recovery though in getting everything disassembled, rebonded, cleaned, and reassembled. thumbsup.gif I don't think I would have attempted it, but I'm getting a little more adventurous these days.  That overtightened screw holding the movement and ring seems to indicate that someone at Seiko got into a bit of a hurry during the original assembly.  hmmm...

Again, nice recovery and looks good as new!
