OST.
I have an old Seiko I'd love to have regulated. It gains a minute per day, has done so since it was new. |

1st, nice username!
Its pretty easy to do it yourself. I use a timegrapher app and the microphone on my apple earbuds. For what you would pay someone to do it, a legit time grapher would pay for itself after a few watches, about $160. Amazon timegrapher  How Do I Regulate My Seiko Watch? 7S26, 4R36, NH36, NH35 Movement Regulation with Timegrapher I haven't had any issues with re-installing the case back, no water intrusion so far. Looks like a pressure tester is about $150. pressure tester |

Under different circumstances, I would gladly invest in the simple tools and try this myself, but I admittedly have a lot of irons in the fire right now. As such, I'd love to pay a pro or experienced enthusiast to dial these in for me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: is it magnetized? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: OST. I have an old Seiko I'd love to have regulated. It gains a minute per day, has done so since it was new. Nope. At least, not that I know. I took it back to the store 1 week after buying it and they said that there was nothing they could do. I think they just didn't want to do the extra work; after all, they already had my money! |

If it repels one of the poles as you move the compass around the case, it's magnetized. You can buy a cheap degausser on Amazon, or just run it over the RFID thingy at a checkout counter. |

Not sure how old yours are but seiko’s warranty is three years. You can send in the watch and your warranty card and they will fix/adjust it for free. If out of warranty they will send an email with the cost to repair.

If out of warranty they will send an email with the cost to repair. I am looking to send it to somebody for aftermarket support as Seiko could only reasonably be expected to ensure that the watch is +45 to -35 seconds per day, which is their standard for that movement. I am hoping to get it dialed in just a bit closer than that. |
