...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!
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.
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!
