Had a 1st Gen Seiko Monster that needed service
Had a 1st Gen rare Seiko Monster that needed a movement refresh. Spent ~$400, including shipping, to have the watch disassembled, cleaned, calibrated, etc. The watch came back accurate and looking nice (plus a fresh crown tube, which it needed), but the amplitude was low, and the beat error was at a ridiculous 3.5ms. Sent it back for 'recalibration'. No real change. I adjusted the beat error myself to about .5ms. Next time, I would send it to Seiko. I was left with the impression that they do work quickly, without attention to the easy details, and then move on. The job technically got done - but it was very expensive and I wouldn't use them again.
