Eric_Collins   11 #1 Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) I'm looking to get my Genuine RAF tornado fast jet navigator Seiko watch repaired. It's loosing time badly , about 30 seconds in every minuet. I've changed the battery and still same.  I want this to go to a genuine watch maker and not someone like Samuaels as last time I did this they took 2 years to replace the Chronograph motors, after they fitted wrong size glass and it leaked water into the watch, I joke you not !!!!  Any help please, any good recommendations. I'd also don't want Mick the market man bodger as this is a £700 watch second hand.  Cheers Eric.

Slippy   10 #3 Posted May 9, 2011 Take it to H L Browns it might be an expensive shop but its a rare watch, Dont take it to parkers at hillsbro they charge to much and it could come back worsr than it went in. Mine did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
