1970's Seiko 6139-7070 (Unfortunately is not running and needs some work) Anyone here know how can help with a non functioning watch. I want to give it the love it deserves.

"A deadeye is an item used in the standing and running rigging of traditional sailing ships. It is a smallish round thick wooden disc with one or more holes through it, perpendicular to the plane of the disc. Single and triple-hole deadeyes are most commonly seen. The three-holed blocks were called deadeyes because the position of the three holes resemble the eye and nose sockets of a sheep's skull."
I'd think a three sub-dial would be more obvious but a single hole/sub-dial also fits the description.
