My seikosarb021 accuracy log.....

Have you inspected the watch for black specs on the dial or case scratches that may effect the balance of the dial/case?

Sometimes a badly misaligned rotating bezel can cause problems.

Would you be able to provide pictures?

His digital camera is broken

So he has a $650 watch but nothing that can take a picture?

Oh wait, the ability to get a picture is there, the desire on the other hand seems to be lacking.

Just a lot of hot air.

As long as there are no "C" shaped deformations to the crystal he should be fine!

Wednesday morning 4th July - Now it is running + 8 seconds. this is a gain by +4 seconds since yesterday. if you remember yesterday was consistent with the day before with no extra seconds.

It seems very inconsistent, all over the palce at the moment.

Dear Musulman, please continue wearing. I am sure it will settle down soon. My military modded SKX173 started with -8 seconds a day; then slowly shifted to +4, then it settled shortly after. I wore, later, for 5 weeks continuously on my wrist and it lost a total of -1 second!

The accuracy of these beautiful Seiko movements amazes me, indeed.

Please continue updating us on the accuracy from time to time.

Very Best Regards . . .

Settling in at +4s/day is pretty sweet. Are you able to snap a quick pic of your fantastic watch? I love the SARB021.

Just forget all about the accuracy log & enjoy the timepiece. You might sleep better that way.

One was enough.....

Thanks serdal23, i will wait and see, i will report back once every day or two. I will keep it on 24 / 7 time, and see how it keeps time over the next week or so. Then to further tweak it i will start taking it off at night and laying it in the appropriate positions.

If you want to time it properly, here is a chart showing different positions for the watch : PU = Pendant up; PD = Pendant down ; PR & PL = Pendant right & left respectively. Make sure the watch is wound fully.Hope this might be useful.
