Sorry about the downtime today. Tried to do an upgrade due to there being a security issue with the current version. Unfortunately so many errors presented themselves I had to roll back to a backup. It then still would not play ball as some CSS cache files would not load (causing a broken look on the pages). Going through all my backups I found the broken files and restored them individually one-by-one. All seems OK now - time for coffee :| Will try an upgrade again in a few days, first need to work out why it failed.

Of course it does. Your watch is already accurate enough for collector's purposes and can probably made better with just demagnetization and regulation. Also be aware that service cost by a qualified processional can easy be three or four time the value of your watch or even a brand new Seiko 5.

Watch repairs/makers have timing machines in order to be able to tell how the movement is preforming, gaining or losing time. That is the modern way of being able to adjust the movement’s time keeping; this is normally part of the service. You should have enquired what the servicing entailed, no harm in asking them.

Normally it is part of the servicing. Otherwise the watchmaker won't know for sure if he did the right job or fixed whatever needed fixing on the watch.

It looks a little like the Eterna 1078. But the endcap plate is nothing i have seen before. http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&2&2uswk&Eterna_1078UC

We need to see the keyless work, so remove from case and take off hands and dial and take a good clear photo. Some times the I D can be on that side. Have you removed the balance complete and looked there?

It was MYR40 which is around USD10. A Macdonalds Big Mac meal is around MYR15 here so that gives some comparison. rgds Anil
