losing up to 15mins is alot! :eek: I think besides putting the case the Stowa.

It might be a case, whereby the switch on the balance wheel was set wrongly. How about going to a repair shop to check the setting of the screw/switch on the Balance wheel?

I remember there should be this screw/switch on the balance wheel, which allows you to adjust the timekeeping frequency to be faster or slower. most of the time it should be in the middle.

You can go to K2. many watch lovers here go to K2 alot :D

Does K2 repair eta watches? The more popular and established ones are JW (but super long wait) and the other one at Lucky Plaza (forget the name of the shop). I did mine at the lucky plaza one. The shop only opens at 3pm, and many rich taitais all waiting for the shop to open to send their expensive watches for repair or change battery.

$250 to service my eta tag Heuer Monaco.

I dont see why a local service centre would help resolve such issue.
no warranty cover mishandling if they see it is esp after 1 yr even thru local service centre.

what to be piss with the warranty? even if u buy a Rolex and have local service centre if they see it.. they still make U pay. which warranty out there cover such damages. so whats the WTF?

its your words to say U didn't do it thus a manufacturing defect or say shipping is the cause.. if so.. that would have occur within 1st week of wear.
fact is they see parts and its that condition and U have no video evidence of it how to argue.

Well, I would like to see how you would feel if the same problem happen to you. first they say it was a case where a hard knock or dropping and the dial is staggered; then after requesting them to review the case because I am sure there's no optical damage to the watch; they now agree that theres no optical damage but said it might cause by a shock e.g. a slap which cause the shock; so will you accept that your watch is so fragile as they seem to portray?

Having a local service centre sure do improve communication because they took a month to get back to me, and takes a day or two for every reply. If you can't see the benefit of having a local service centre, then there's no reason for others to have them here since we can always rma

no harm trying... since K2 has a long history in repair Automatic seiko watches.

JW only opens on Thursday and Saturdays a week but they are famous for repairing high-value watches and complicated movements.

don't quote me out of context ho ~ :s13:

i think this can happen to any products; everything is good until you want to claim warranty. like someone said, manufacturing defects should be detected on the first week; then what's the point of having 1 or 2 years warranty :s22:

before you bring to a local watch repair shop, read through your warranty first. some warranties will be void if they know you send your watch to a local watch repair shop in your country and will charge you even more for future repairs.

such T&C are very common especially in electronic products like HP and Laptops.
