All of my watch boxes are packed. Where does one send seiko models for aervice or repair?

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.

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

Dave can do it.

I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888

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 have an older Seiko and these folks got it going again but only if our own Dave Truong cannot help as already recommended.

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?
