mbernard356 0 Posted September 15, 2017 Got a brand new Seiko skx007 but getting behind in time like 20 minutes a day. Any watch technician available to correct this issue? Manny Bernard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amac 0 Posted September 16, 2017 I was just thinking about buying one along with an aftermarket oyster strap, now I'm second guessing myself. Any watch shop will work on it, it's a gen and not a rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andyboy 5 Posted September 16, 2017 SEIKO AUTOMATIC WATCHES: TROUBLESHOOTING If your new automatic watch is running too fast or too slow or seems to have stopped, do not panic. An automatic watch is an investment of time and effort and unlike quartz watches (battery operated) it may take some time to start keeping good time. This is true especially for lower range automatic watches (i.e. not “chronometers”). For your watch to start keeping good time, the main spring needs to be completely wound first. The way to do that is to use a watch winder or shake and wear the watch continuously. There are some simple steps you can take to regulate your watch. Take the watch off at night and place according to below: 1. If your watch is running slow: lay it flat with the dial up. 2. If your watch is running fast: lay the watch vertically with the crown downwards. 3. If your watch is running too fast: lay the watch vertically with the crown up. If you watch is still running fast or slow by a large margin the most likely cause is that the mainspring may have gotten itself caught. To get it freed up try this: Place the watch on your palm with the crystal down and slap the watch. If this freed up the mainspring it should start keeping good time.

Foxindebox 461 Posted September 16, 2017 20 mins a day sounds well out of range for positional regulation. That needs to go back from whence it came methinks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikosaldente 630 Posted September 16, 2017 Sounds like it's magnetized or maybe there's oil on the hairspring! Either way I'm with Fox about this one! Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

k3rm87 172 Posted September 16, 2017 Yep, have 5 seikos with similar movement inlcuding a skx009 and most i've had off is about 10 secs per day even from new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diver Dave 0 Posted September 17, 2017 The slapping it on a table trick will likely work. Stuck hairspring are a possible cause of this. Don't be gentle: give it a solid thump on a table top. Really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
