Yeah I think this is good advice. Getting my brother to move is like launching the Queen Mary but I’m ever hopeful he’ll get round to it. He does have a passing interest in watches - more than your average bloke but not to the level displayed on here! - and I think he realizes that regardless of value it’s a great family heirloom. Looking at pictures of my Dad today, it appears it was first on a brown fake croc strap. That’s him on the right, me next to him!You could contact Seiko directly and try your luck.
I do know a watch store that still sells those and repairs them. well, it was a few years ago. They would treat it right. probably not cheap though.

Same to you and all the other fathers. My son opened my gifts for me this morning and then declared he was going to watch cartoons all day because "it's Boys Day!"Happy Father’s Day to everyone here. That’s all. That’s the post.
The rush to the Aquanaut is absurd to me.
Throughout the vast majority of its history, it was a black sheep. I remember deep, deep discounts from ADs pretty recently, and cases full. I’ve never minded the Aquanaut, but never had any desire (and have zero desire now) to own one.
In short, most Aquanaut owners are posers who can’t get a Nautilus and just want a steel Patek because that’s what you are supposed to have.
Also happened with a lot of other watches like the AP RO and LE Speedmasters. They both only got really popular in late 2017 when the watch craze started taking off.I mean, how many years did the Nautilus or Daytona (especially the now revered Newmans) sit unsold in display cases? Tastes change all the time and especially with the recent trends towards more casual attire and the relatively recent green and blue colorways I can see how the Aquanaut could be more desirable now than it used to be.
