New $1,350 Seiko Diver is +12 per day!! Options
I recently got a Seiko Apocalypse Now - Captain Willard (SPB1151J1) diving watch.
Its a great looking watch but its running +12 per day. This should not be a surprise as the stated Seiko accuracy tolerance is -15 to +25 seconds per day. Notwithstanding the above, I still am not really happy with a watch that gains double digit seconds per day So my options appear to be: 1. Go to Seiko Service Centre and just ask them to adjust it to be -12 seconds from what it currently operates; 2. Go to an independent watchmaker and ask him to do the same as in paragraph 1 above. 3. Buy a case opener and a Witchi timegrapher and carefully try to adjusts it myself (watching YouTube videos as a guide). 4. Stop wearing the watch and slap on a Rolex. I'm leaning to option 3 but it involves spending more money (approximately $150-$200), and it means I have more 'stuff' sitting around which I will seldom use, and take up my time. But it is a hobby and could be fun and satisfying if I can achieve my goal without damaging the balance or in some other way cause a disaster. What would you do?
