QUOTE(ijan @ Jun 15 2022, 03:21 PM) out of the freaking blue, terlimpas old kedai, its the old rolex distributor, but the ah pek buat repair works, he left his anak do sales. He terkejut la my watch tun fast, on a very old timegrapher that plots chart on real paper. Ada jatuh or bang something kot. So full service and all, rm200-300. On saja The watch went through hell, halfway round the world, jumping, racine, kayaking semua hantam Thank God it is a Seiko and not a Rolex |

QUOTE(keyibukeyi @ Jun 15 2022, 12:13 PM) You need an apps to calibrate.  see also don't dare to open/touch inside, later everything flies out and game over. I open the mortise lock, so big also, spring and everything pop out. This watch, if accidentally pop out all the things inside, can throw already, especially when the small little thing ends up everywhere under the chair/sofa/table/cabinet. |

Better leave all these to the watch repairers. I don't dare to mess around with watch innards. |

QUOTE(raynman @ Jun 15 2022, 09:23 AM) The speed adjustment is really simple. But I don't have the tools to DIY.  the seiko 7s26 is a simple and cheap movement. i suggest to buy the tools to DIY rather than send to shop. you can get the tools on shopee and dont cost much. back case opener should be less than rm20. small screwdriver probably just rm2. but before you do any of that, you might want to just wind it up properly. most of the time, its slow simply because it doesnt have enough energy. |

As stated in my thread title, my Seiko is gaining 2 minutes per day, so your assumption is incorrect. And it is an automatic, not a manual winding watch This post has been edited by raynman: Jun 16 2022, 08:31 AM |

If you want to keep the watch in tip top condition for sentimental reason, get it serviced, not repair as its not faulty or broken. They can adjust the speed, clean and lubricate it as well as replacing the gasket seals. Else just keep it as it is somewhere in the watch drawer. meanwhile at NRT, ppl talk about buying lolex watches....  |
