I took the plunge and bought a Seiko diver (a Shogun). AARGH! It would be a terrific watch if only the bezel and chapter ring weren’t so misaligned. So, would you: Return it and ask for a replacement, in the hope the store is prepared to find one without this misalignment Get a watchmaker to...

Hi, everyone. I have recently purchased my first proper watch (from an AD) and to my surprise, after a day's use, I've noticed that the marker at 9 o'clock is not properly centered to the corresponding marker on the rail track. I've taken several pictures at different angles and, unfortunately...

When I checked the watch before purchase, btw the watch is brand new but sold to me at a reasonable price. All the hands alignment are ok and 6 o'clock forms a almost perfect straight line. Started running in the watch abit and tested the crown functions and set up the time a few times. Noticed...

Hello, This is my first post, but I am thrilled to join such an active, vibrant community of watch enthusiasts and collectors! I am also very excited to take delivery of an SMP 300M (2220.80.00) tomorrow afternoon that I purchased from Amazon. I debated for quite some time about whether or not...

I just bought a Poljot Traveller 3 alarm watch on e-bay. The crystal protrudes above the case by 0.7 mm on one side while it is flush on the other sideo|. I consider returning the watch for repair / replacement, however this should be an easy fix for a watchmaker? Othervise the watch is...

Dear Forum Members, Just purchased a Flieger and noticed that the hands are a bit wanky. The second hand and the hour hand are between 20 and 25 minutes off (e.g. When the second hand is at 25 minutes, the hour hand is centred on the hour). Do you know what could have caused this? I take...
