Man sorry to hear that, which presage you sent in and what about it that dissapointed you?
i didnt send in the presage, i had a prospex samurai padi which was actually nice for its price. i dont know what happened, but it probably got magnetized one day cause it was gaining few minutes a day so i sent it for RMA and it took 3 month to receive back.
funnily enough, it was doing -20s per day when i bought it and after RMA, it went to +4seconds per day which was actually better
my disappointment in the presage was the SARW041 that i bought. was gaining 20+ seconds per day, had misaligned hour hands which you can notice if you set the time to 6pm. it's a beautiful watch and still one of the best dials i've had, but other QC issues just made me disappointed by seiko in general.
it's not uncommon to hear seiko even in the presage line having misaligning issues and when you consider the amount you're paying for, it's really sad to see you're getting such QC. these days seiko's watches are even ramping up in price while features are being reduced so the part of them that appeals to many is also slowly fading away.
