Does the OT recommend sending it back to Citizen or taking it for repair at a local jeweler? Less than 1 yr old



TIA

Send it to a competent watch guy. The jeweler will like just pass it on to their watch maker.

Also, get sapphire crystal to replace the mineral crystal.

That sucks. That's pretty nice for a Citizen. Not hating, I have a few watches in that price range, I just don't like Citizens.

Yea I think it happens cause the bezel is not above the crystal (crystal protrudes farther than the bezel). I just caught mine in something. Didn't notice even doing it. Mine isn't nearly as bad as yours but I won't wear it in the water now cause I know it leaks.

Competent watch maker. He should fix you up in a few days.

Only people who don't have to worry about their watch clashing with their phone belt clip.

Dropped mine on granite and same thing happened. Didn't cost much at a local jeweler.

Thanks broke.

I did a search for Seiko authorized repairs and two were listed here. I dropped it on the tile floor in the bathroom where I work out. Noticed the second hand wasn't moving. Realized it must have stopped before then when it was 11 hours behind.

This is the OT, you should replace with the watch below. Not even worth worrying about repairing.

I'd send it to Citizen if they offer that service. I recently sent my watch to Germany where it was made...it's nice to have the manufacturer redo the movement regulation.

Sorry, any watch worth buying or repairing will have a sapphire crystal. I learned this the hard way. The Omega Speedmaster with the hexalite crystal is the only exception, due to its history. Mineral glass is junk and will get scratches.

That's pretty young to be a jeweler.

(Doubts this will turn out well)
