Hi all, I’m new to this so would greatly appreciate some advice. I bought a used Android/Aragon (small boutique brand like invicta) automatic divers watch. The watches Seiko’s nh35 movement. Unfortunately, it’s losing about 30 seconds a day. I have other automatics but generally they lose/gain only up to about 10 seconds a day, so I feel a little frustrated with this one. I approached a watch repair shop who told me that it would cost more than $200 to service it, which is about double what I paid for the watch. My questions are: 1. Would it be worth me trying to sort this out myself - is there away to adjust the movement to improve the accuracy. 2. Should I just live with it i.e. not worth the effort for a lower level movement. 3. Pay the $200 and get the movement serviced. 4. Explore the possibility of putting in a new movement (same or something like a 6r15) either myself or paying the repair shop to do it. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. I understand there is a subjective element to this, but would like to know what you would do in my position based on your experience. Many thanks
