Yes, the amplitude is way too low
Jan 06, 2019,18:37 PM
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 service is necessary, the hands will have to be removed. They will most likely just re-use the existing hands, but if they're marred or scratched, they may be replaced with identical hands. A GS I sent in before had to go to Japan for service, I'm curious if yours will need to be sent there as well or if it can be completely done here in the US.

160 degrees is nearly a dead watch

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...

Any watch with that dramatic change I suspect magnetism

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 ...
crap shoot

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 ...

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...
Good luck!

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