OP, glad you reached a suitable solution you are happy with. I'm too OCD to have taken the same route but again, glad you are happy.l

I have to agree with Mark on this one. You seem happy with the results at this point however a truly reputable seller, agreeing that the watch was not correctly represented would not have asked you to pay for return shipping or refund fees. That's all on them not you. Right now you don't know if Seiko will be able to fully restore this watch. You even wondered how much metal was removed to cover up the dents that were there. What do you do if Seiko says they can't give you the original polish because of this? Or new replacement hands? I would not like to buy from this seller but I don't know who it is so this thread is no longer any help to me. Good Luck.

New hands and case won’t be an issue for this model. Seiko holds spares for at least 10 years (may’ve been extended by now) after it ceases being produced. In the event there aren't any spare cases, I think I’m right in saying Seiko will laser fill the dents. |

Return it or ask for him to fully or at least partially fund a service by Seiko
