Is it worth sending it in for repair? I just worry the repair cost will be more than the watch.

I very seldom wear it as I already have a daily wear smart watch

It'll cost abit to send it to service. but seiko 5 aren't that accurate from the start either.

If you just eat at home for a month, enough for the repairs ady

Also get rachel/christy to get an apple watch for you, or at very least a huashiat one

Just buy a new one.

Aiyo Rachel/Christy if u reading this go get Rolex for raynman lah. Lowest spec not that expensive

Btw whats for breakfast today? Got anything spesial or rare to find?

bukak the back lid,.. there's a small screw with plus and minus adjustment for the speed,...

Rachel/ Christy married or not? If not, where to submit my CV ah

People service their automatic watch because they value it or they have sentimental feelings for it. If your seiko5 doesn't then dont. If it does, then why are you even asking

RM300 for repairs?

But my watch cost only RM270.

But that price was 15 years ago.

I don't see there is anything adjustable.

Just not shake enuf


Wear on your tfk hand will be fine

Seager got people finding the person who edited the PuAS light-year character . Do you happen to know who did?

Yorrrrr ts gemuk rupanya... See the arm

Well that really depends how much the watch meant to you, RM300 is not small money, but now seiko 5 is around 400+- iinm.

Why need accurate watch when everyone else not on time either?

+1

haiya, may Seiko Alpinist gone 5 minutes per day, nk hantar mana also dunno. Ada idea?

Dh la seken hen market most ppl jual >RM5,000

Kristy got German bf iinm
Dunno abt rachel

Yeah, most likely they'll Disassemble all the gears and linkage and give everything a good cleaning & relubrication

But it's up to you if you think that's not worth the money

Oiii Ayam is on time all the time

see la how much 2nd hand value now

Seiko watch got second hand value? This is not Rolex lah.

Do it only if you have the back case opener tool

The speed adjustment is really simple.

But I don't have the tools to DIY.

just bring to those old school watch shops la

after tuning, are you going to wear it frequently or not, if not, then no point la. besides, since it is an old watch, might need spring lube too, i done that not long ago b4 MCO for rm45

That service cost is reasonable. I'll check with some of the watch shops.

I have one newer than this, also not repairing Can't be bothered

You need an apps to calibrate.

Can send email ask thongsia.

My Samsung smart watch needs 200 plus to change battery, summore waited 3 weeks still no stock.

Unker
Seiko 5 used no value one
Used sell maybe get 100-150
But if rosak only shop take for parts
Buy new la

No parts inside are broken.

It just needs speed adjustment to slow it down a little.

Maybe it also needs lubrication service after 15 years.

any idea where can do refurbish? i got an old seiko, inherits from grandpa

almost 50 year old

engine still working but not sure working or not, need polish

Official Seiko representative here is Thong Sia

Repair center address:
Wisma Chuang (f.k.a. Central Plaza), CP27 Suite 2601-04, No. 34, 26th Floor, Jln Sultan Ismail, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia.

Btw, Alpinist --> nice

One of the old timers who is recommend online to service (maybe refurbish) watches is Steven of Wah Foong in Jalan Raja Laut (near Chow Kit).

Personally, have not used his services but have KIV his shop in case there is a need for his services.

Not worth fixing unless you DIY.

DIY tools also cost a bundle.

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

bro, does thong sia has bracelet pins for seiko monster bracelet?

Paging racheal and christy,
Your dad complaining here already. Get him another seiko pls.

Thank God it is a Seiko and not a Rolex

Repair first

Who knows what ang you have left in there. Once sold, no more lucky

Go call lah

My next Seiko.

Fugly man.

It's OK, I like ugly things too.

tehn ull liek meh

got. sell to me for rm100. who say no value.

Dunno, why not give them a call or walk into the service centre.

Paging racheal and christy,

Your dad giving hint which he wan liao. No need pening go choose which to buy

the name is monster

its supposed to be ugly but its very overprice

Yeah, I know.

It is not cheap.

Overpriced due to high demand?

Because for the price they are charging they still give hardlex crystal not sapphire

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.

This.

Open case notice something fly out but cannot find ... toyota pickup.

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

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....

I am a poorfag, where can afford Rolexes?

Also I cannot access NRT for a few years already.

Ask ur dotter

If can get a Rolex at RRP, I wouldnt mind splurging on one....

I bought this limited ed. Seiko 5 last year, but wearing old fitbit

I like the Monsters better.

How much did this limited edition Seiko 5 cost you?

I paid RRP price cause I pre-order it.

i know people bought it from shops like in Sunway like 20% off during the sale, like 1.3k

Red alpinist?

bukan oo, the more common green sarb017
