I think mine is 8/9 seconds behind where it should be. I set it 27 hours ago using my GS quartz

![]() Reminds me, I haven't been in Bretagne and Normandie in a Very long time. I believe I was 6-7 at the time. I should go there again some day, visit war museums, mont saint Michel, the beaches. Good memories. |

Nope. I'm surprised I bought even as mechanical. Quality a bit below what I like. Fun watch though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

to answer your question, no. since it's supposed to be a 1970 diver, I think quartz would be a cost-cutting measure rather than a design decision |

I agree with Adam, at this price point there is nothing wrong with quartz. Should there ever go something wrong with the quartz movement it can be swapped for 20 bucks.

A base model Seiko mech will run without a service longer than almost any quartz. There are thousands and 7Sxx out there that have never been serviced and are still ticking away nicely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Just took a look at my DH. Lost nearly 14 seconds in 22 hours, and the date wheel is stuck between 21 and 22
Yeah, maybe quartz would have been better |

The accuracy is one thing but a stuck date is unacceptable, even at this price. |

That's too bad. Try rotating it through a full month, see if that frees it up. Otherwise, just use the return policy.

Thanks guys, I'm going to wait and see if the problem persists. If it happens consistently then I'll return

Sorry to hear @star ferry is having problems with his. Mine has lost 2 seconds in 48 hours, so I can't complain.
It really is a great watch for the $s and it's almost impossible to take a bad photo of it ![]() I slapped mine on a big hole Tropic I'd been hanging onto for a while and it really completes the vintage vibe. ![]() ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

A new Miyota 9015 isn't much more that that!! Well about $90 for a new one. But a knockoff can be had for less. Is probably cheaper than servicing the old one?? You would know better than I Bas. You get hooked up with an internship yet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

As for the internship, I will have a signed contract in a few weeks with a local Patek, Lange, Rolex AD, which is also a small official service centre for several brands including Rolex and Omega. My quest for an internship abroad failed, unfortunately. But things are looking pretty good now. ![]() |
