My blue presage enamel with 6R15 movement is losing 80 sec/day and has low amplitude of 160 degrees. Received it from US Manhattan Seiko boutique last week of March 2018. I called the boutique and they told me to send it to the Seiko Service Center in Mah...  

This is a new watch recently from an authorized dealer? Aside from a miracle that might arise from de-magnetizing and winding until you hear the bridle slip in the barrel, it looks like service is warranted. A NEW watch straight from the dealer should run... 

I'd expect at least 250 degrees or higher in the dial-up position. I've sent in watches to the NJ service center before. If requesting a warranty service, it's unlikely they would do any refinishing work so don't need to worry about that. If a complete se... 

Did you ask him to degauss or demagnetize it? I can order Seiko parts from suppliers in the US but that wouldn’t be necessary in most cases. I think he is being overly-cautious because this is a new, under warranty watch. I’ve heard nothing bad about the ... 

Which version of the 6R15 movement is your watch using? I have two JDM Seikos (SARG009, SARB035), both using the 6R15C movement and movement accuracy is a crap shoot. My SARB035 as been very accurate and going strong, but my SARG009 has had issues months ... 

My SARB033 runs at +7s a day.

They serviced 3 of my watches. Here's a link to my experience with my vintage Gen 2 RAF chronograph Click Here

Lubrication seems to have been the issue in this case, but there's anecdotal evidence this is not an isolated problem with the C version of the movements. The 6R15A and B don't seem to have these issues reported as much. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

I bought the watch brand new from the Manhattan Seiko boutique, if that was not clear. Purchasing the watch from the boutique adds one year to the warranty, although the watch is less than one year old. Demagnetizing the watch made no difference. I will b... 

Today, I took my SPB069 to my local Grand Seiko AD. A helpful friend suggested that rather than sending my watch to the SCA Service Center in Mahwah, NJ myself, the AD would act as in intermediary, responsibly pack/ship the watch and as an AD hopefully ha...  

Thank you for keeping us informed. Mine runs so far even within Chronometer norms.
