Since I am nearing retirement, it's time to move some more of my vintage Seiko's. Up for sale is a nice Seiko H558-5000 Arnie. It is in excellent condition and was serviced by Simon-Siralan of the Wrist Sushi watch forum. Everything works and all pushers perform flawlessly. Battery was changed in the past 60 days. Comes on a Bonetto Cinturini watch strap.

Hi Michael,
another busy day tinkering today!!
I've just about finished your Arnie.
I have completely serviced the movement today - these movements are very fiddly to be honest, and very very delicate. Luckily I've done about 15 or so now and I'm very familiar with them and how to get them back together.
The good news is that the movement is in good shape and fully functional and I don't foresee any future problems.
The not so good news (as such) is that the movement has suffered a battery leak in the past and the acid has caused some damage to the circuit (tracks) and to the plastic mainplate (these never fare very well when a battery leaks).
I spent a lot of time cleaning the acid off the plastic (if its left it slowly attacks the plastic, causing it to crack and fail).
Tomorrow I plan to refit the dial and hands, and complete the watch.
Here are some pictures of the movement strip, and rebuild.
