Seiko Watch Bought From City Chain - Fixed

Yesh! It is fixed!! It took up to 10 minute for the VERY VERY NICE GUY at City Chain to help me do a bit of his voodoo magic.

The thing is this, normally it will take 3 months for a watch to be fixed. In accordance to their Standard Operating Procedure. A watch will first be given to the dealer, which will then be sent to the distributor which will then be determined is what kind of problem and then called back to inform the dealer which will then call the buyer (thats us) about the problem and whether we want to fix it or how much it might cost. Then the call will go back to the distributor which will then "order" the parts and then fix it.

This back and fro will take up to 3 months to get it over and done with. What the guyat the City Chain did was. He took a new watch, took out the whole mechanics inside and then swap it with my watch's mechanic. He will then claim that the new watch broke down for no reason.

This is of course illegal like hell and he will get into one heck of a hot pot water if he was found out. But he did it and I am forever in his debt. To keep him out of hot soup, I am not going to reveal the location of the shop.

But a BIG THANK YOU to YOU!

Seiko watches bought from City Chain Malaysia went Haywire after 2 month

Oh yeah, thats basically it.

2 month ago, my lovely gf bought me a Seiko watch as part of our anniversary + valentine gift. The watch is anything BUT cheap. It is expensive, so lets leave it at that. So now its 2 month later and guess what happened?

The damn watch brokedown. I swear to god, it did not bang it, scratch it or drop it or does anything to warrant getting it broken but there it is, it refuse to work. This is what happened.

The watch will stop whenever the second timer reaches 40 seconds. Shake the watch vigorously when you are wearing it or turn the watch knob a bit and the watch will resume normal operation. Move around while wearing the watch and it will get stuck again. Leave it alone at the altar or table and it will also get stuck and stop again.

Pink Circle: Thats the Second timer which stopped every time it reach 41 sec

Blue Circle: see that circle? thats the alarm circle. It still moves perfectly fine

See the whole watch? Yeah, it stopped at 2. If its working well, its supposed to be in sync with the alarm timer. Which is to meanm its supposed to be 4:15 not 2:00

The battery is perfectly fine, the alarm clock which is another 3rd smaller timer inside the watch which moves in synch with the time also works well. Its just the second timer which counts the second (duh?) that fucks up. I am giving a hell of hurt tonight to the City Chain salesman if he aint polite. Granted the bugger is innocent. I still feel like venting on him. Mr. Nice Guy I am not tonight
