It does take a lot of wearing to get these up to full power in fact on one of the Seiko 5m62 i own I have only ever had it up to full power once and that was after a week of constant wearing most of the time it only ever showed 1 month of power at a time. The Seiko manual for these says that 500 swings of the rotor will give you two days power reserve now that's a lot more than a good few minutes its more like 15-20 minutes of shaking. Seiko say that the power indicator may not show the correct power if you use it straight after swinging the watch you should wait between 10-15 minute to get a accurate indication. Winding the watch via the crown only works on the Seiko direct drive kinetic models so would be of no use to you with this watch wearing for a week would let you determine if it charging correctly. You can also buy induction charging units for Seiko Kinetics if all that shaking worries you

At my work we had a Weidmüller printjet Pro which is a label and cable mark printer. As with many other printers, it could not withstand standing for too long, so the print head could not work anymore and a repair was too expensive. After half a year at our warehouse it was decided that it should be thrown out. I chose to take it home and pair it as I saw that there were some 3 mm. drive belt in it. I have now divorced it and certainly did not regret it. In addition to UV lamps, motors and fans there were a lot of wheels and bearings with holders that could be used to build accessories for lathe or other tools. I am very happy about my decision.

Absolutely. I've come across a few supposedly manufactured Swiss watches with Japanese movements in but never the other way round. Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk
