 Oagaspar - the post went up as was witnessed by others and I definately saw it had been read by 20 or so members. It's not a big deal I just thought it was strange that it  dissappeared when it was not inflammatory or what have you in  anyway ! I find this board very useful and interesting and just hoped I did not break any rules. I did not get any PMs from mods so I was just asking the ??

It was not a joke post.

I have bought all three of my seikos ( see previous posts ) of eBay. The last two came out of Hong Kong and within 4 months both their WINDERS ( ok CROWNS....sorry I dont know all the lingo ) have given up. First they get all wobbly and in one case it just clean broke off. I rearely if ever even used them other than to intially set the time and date. Very odd.

I cannot go to a service center as I started before I live in Cambodia and there is no such thing. I went to the only known "seiko dealer" ( probably fake ) and was told "6 months" !!

My latest seiko is the one in my avatar. A frankenmoster. It's winder...sorry....crown.....is still in the watch but simply does not work. I can adjust date but not time. It got to the stage where it was 20 minutes fast so hence I asked the simple ?? about the magnet.

I used a magnet and it worked perfectly ! Time stood still for 20 mins and now all is well woohoo.gif.

Trust that clears it all up !

Thanks to all for your help.
