You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm feeling lazy; not even googled this as a starting point 🙂
I have a Seiko kinetic watch, about 10 yrs old. It's all fine apart from it is now misting up quite badly/quickly, so some of the seals need replacing, and the internal storage battery needs changing as well.
Rather than just getting another one, is there a place/where is the best place to get it serviced/repaired so it'll go on for another 10 years? Approx costs would be good if anyone has done it to see if it is economic.
Thanks in advance, as always.

I used the above to upgrade the whole kinetic mechanism to a carbon/titanium version which should be good for another 20 years (mine was one of the original ones at 19ish years old)
Was about £100 but the prices are on the website I think or give them a call.

Thanks Jungli - just what I was looking for!
Upgraded battery (capacitor) is c £20 to buy so the rest is fitting cost. Any decent watchmaker ought to be able to do it. Look at ebay as think there are services to replace/upgrade on there for set fees. They'd no doubt replace seals as well.
If the watch has no sentimental value then you might want to think about selling it and investing the funds in something new.

did my Seiko 5 myself. wasn't too complex. Cheap toolkit from china for £7, opened up the back, tightened the main screw for the pendulum type thing (as mine was loose) then changed the seals (can't remember how much they were but not much. capacitor probably a bit more complex but not too bad!
