indytim 0 Posted July 19, 2015 I recently picked up a Seiko SKX007 but after wearing it for a couple of weeks today noticed a slight imperfection on the day wheel. To explain, the bottom of the letter U on SUN is slightly uneven on one side (the font is the tiniest bit thicker as if ink had smudged) and there is a tiny line extending vertically from it. Without closely examining the watch you would even notice this imperfection but now I know it's there it 'niggles' me. Any thoughts? Is this to be expected? Am I being too much of a perfectionist considering the watch's price point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pharmo 33 Posted July 19, 2015 any pictures mate? The question to ask is will you be able to live with this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

indytim 0 Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) It's such a small imperfection that it's proving hard to capture with a camera but this should give you some idea of what I described. Edited July 19, 2015 by indytim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,528 Posted July 19, 2015 Seriously?! I couldn't even see it in the embedded pic and had to load the full size pic to know what you were talking about. If things like that bother you then I'd suggest that you buy an Apple watch and sell everything else! I have a 009J (the so-called higher quality Japan version) and the chapter ring is out of alignment with the dial. It happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetalMickey 179 Posted July 19, 2015 Yeah that's fine. Would not spoil my Seiko Sundays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted July 19, 2015 Holy shit, you must have some good eyes to spot that. If that's the only quality issue with the watch I'd count my blessings and carry on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 997 Posted July 19, 2015 Jesus, please don't buy reps if that bothers you on a sub $200 watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenjaminButton 149 Posted July 19, 2015 And it's a great watch. Mine has a Murphy bezel mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MoveAlong 23 Posted July 19, 2015 I'd file that under "not an issue". I had to buy 3 of these before I got one that didn't have a misaligned chapter ring like Del mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BenjaminButton 149 Posted July 19, 2015 don't wear it on the sabbath And it is that lateral genius thinking that's the bedrock of this community. I shall now go and raise my my RWG flag to full mast in honour of this moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k4jun 251 Posted July 20, 2015 Mate, not sure what are you talking about as I do not recognize this as a flaw in ~200 USD watch. If that really bothers you so much order a new day-wheel from Rob/Yobokies or Dagaz. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
