An updated to my piece of junk seiko Presage spb045j1.
Back then I made a post that the date wheel was damm misaligned on the 6r27 movement. It was so bad, the hand was pointing at halfway between the 15-16 markings, the misalignment occurs from 5-20 on the date wheel.

3 weeks later, after it came back from the service center, it is still misaligned, less misaligned, but the defect is still there. And it is so freaking obvious
Idk the technician at thong sia is blind or eye crossed, so freaking obvious it's misaligned they still dare to send the watch out of the service center.

Have to make another trip to thong sia to get it fixed. This will be the last thong sia seiko I will be buying. Grey market is obviously better. Paying a premium for crap service. Zzz

Yeah I'll go to k2 if this still won't work out. But this watch is only a month old and I want thong sia to fix it for me for free.
My point being I paid a premium for thong sia warranty, and still got crap service.
Probably will get grey market next time and if I get unlucky again, spend abit at k2 instead.

Getting re-acquainted with the Black Bay on a new strap after it came back from crown repair..gotta say that amongst all the divers in my collection, this one looks best on leather.
