If you're looking for the best, send it to Klein Watch repair. You can contact him at kleinvintagewatchrepair ATgmail.com. He's not inexpensive, nor does he work quickly. Last I spoke to him wait list was eleven months. But, he comes highly recommended.

You need to contact Dave Truong. He's our resident jeweler and watch expert.

Here is his contact address: http://www.mimisjewelryinc.com/

Seiko has their own repair facility in the US. Website should have details. They do excellent work for a reasonable price.

When I was having trouble with my Movado watch, I sent it to one of the factory service centers here in the USA(closest to my state). The turn around was acceptable, as was the bill.

Send it directly to Seiko, your watch will come back looking and working as new

Seiko doesn't service quartz movements, they just replace it(the entire movement).
Autos they do service.

I recommend him also. He did a restoration on a Seiko divers watch for me. But he does business by email. He does not take phone calls.

Also IWW, Jack Alexyon, in Greensboro ,NC also does Seiko work. Both of these watchsmiths, mostly do restorations, but just also repsir work.

Contacting either of them via email with what yiu need is the best route.

I think you first need to ask how much you paid for the watch and how much would a replacement cost. It doesn't make much sense to pay to have a $100 watch repaired.

Took him three Seiko's a dead Diver's, a new chronograph (needed band adjustment), and a old chronograph (needed battery). The last two he did immediately, the Diver was done in two days. He asked $90 --- He impressed me so much I wrote him a check for $150.

I've got a Diver 150 that I bought in 1978 at the Dutch PX in Rheindahlen, and one of those funny black divers with the wrap-round shield thing in the Seko dealer in Lisburn, Co. Antrim.

Neither have ever been near a service engineer - ever.

Do you think it's time they went?
