If all else fails, buy a working watch off ebay and transplant the movement.

which model is it?

Seriously there's not much you can svc in a quartz movement.

Change battery, the watch makers will clean up the contacts only.

Some parts like coil, crystal ,motor are subjected to availability.

Most watchmakers dun keep much quartz movement parts let alone quartz movement. simply bcos its tedious to change n breakdown rate is lower.

All these mentioned factors boil down to money. Not easy to charge a reasonable amount compare to mech watch svcing. so wat for go into this field.

Not sure about seiko. But I have tried to service a more than 10 years old quartz chronograph watch before, no small shop would do it. At most change battery and clean a bit nia. Ultimately had to send back to manufacturer for full service and repair as it was not working properly. Cost was around S$300...for a hammy
