Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this watch? I had seen a video that said it was likely that Center screw being loose so it wouldn't wind, but even after tightening that it won't start ticking. Bought some simple tools and I'm willing to mess with it (I believe it was a cheap watch) I just have no clue what to do.

Ok, different watch, but my Seiko kinetic 5M43-0E70 got just a new movement, €135 total at Seiko Nl. I guess a 7S26 or replacement is about the same price.

Btw, the 5M43 is now a 5M83, instead of 1 - 2 weeks power reserve it's now up to 6 months
