Yes .....I know the CROWN is not a WINDER. I only ever use it/them to change the date or time. I am now wearing my orignal Seiko Automatic dive watch which although it stops overnight if don't wear it, has never let me down in 8 years. I am very disappointed with this latest Seiko acquisition and now that it has seemingly died..I WILL HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER WATCH !

You might want to try a Citizen Watch. Their Automatic watches are good and you can hand wind them also. Or, try a Seiko Kinetic model that has up to a six month run time.

Or Orient and Vostoks, the vostok New Amphibia range are automatics and can be hand wound. Great for the price.

Kidkhmer, for the life of me I don't what's happening to your watches. This is the very first time I have ever heard of such problems on the 7S26 or 7S36. I have tons of those and not a single problem at all in all these 30 years or so. I even have a Bellmatic that's vinatage 1975 and still keeps darned good time and works with a buzz and a small irng. I even have a few brand new Seikos I bought for less than US$80 at ADs and none of them have malfunctioned in any way. Just curious........where did you buy your Seikos in HK? Are you sure they're all original? Was your source a trustworthy one? Did you pay good and fair market prices for each or were the prices too good to be true?

I agree with Jeff, I've owned several Seikos and have never had any of these issues, actually I never had these kind of problems even on Chinese watches (not that there is anything wrong with those). If the watches are authentic then maybe it is something environmental that is causing your problems.

I have bought all of my Seikos off eBay and I only ever buy from sellers that have near perfect ratings on thousands of transactions. From memory, all three have come out of HK and all three were bang on price wise . Not super cheap but just a fair price. From memory, only the Frankenmonster did not come with a box / warranty card etc BUT they said that in the listing. I tell you if it is a fake then it is a bloody good one ! I can't reiterate enough - I have NOT used the crowns other than to adjust the time and date originally and then maybe once or twice after that for daylight savings etc. I have never actually "wound" the watch. My last two purchases the crown got "wobbly" after just several useages. The frustrating thing is...I have spent over $600 ++ on seikos which gets me towards a BENARUS Megalodon.....which I am now just about to buy cos I DESERVE A GOOD WATCH !
