That is better than it being "lost" forever.
Hope it makes its way back to you other than by USPS.

They should have never fired the ponies...

Glad you got it fixed...

We deal in processing claims, checks mailed to our PO Box that we've had for close to 20 years, Since Jan 1 we've had more failure to deliver checks, replacements not delivered than in the past 20 years. In fact working on another right now.

Only thing in common is the USPS and our USPS PO Box. The mail is coming from different companies for different accounts in different parts of the USA.

USPS probably mangled the shipping label and made it undeliverable

Now the question is by what means will Seiko get the watch to you now? USPS again?

So, first you were told "The carrier says it was delivered...so it was" and then you were told that it was returned, marked 'undeliverable."

Looks like the USPS can't even lie consistently.

You said your box locks. Do you live in an apartment?

It could have been "delivered" back to Seiko.

Whoo hoo! It’s been found! That’s the best part. Now…how to get it to you. Good luck with that.

Watch is back in my hands...or rather on my wrist. They did re-mail it via USPS but fortunately this time they managed not to screw it up.

I'm a fellow watch collector. Any chance you could post a pic??
