Usually +- 10 to 15 seconds/day is good four mechanical regulation...depends how much time and finicky you are about accuracy. Using a toothpick method of back and forth, you can get pretty accurate. And then if you really want to regulate it, you take 3 to 5 reading on watch positioning and on the wrist over time and average the readings out! haha! My friend made his own mechanical regulator using a graded rod/screw-in system....he can split seconds in regulating the tweaking! He got his orange monster to 3 seconds/day.... :thumbup:

 

I'm on it!!!

In my experience Seiko 5s seem very prone to becoming magnetised. The only solution, if that's heppened, is to get someone with the correct device to demagnetise it.

Does anyone else find this (easily magnetised) about Seiko 5?

 

You'll have to stop leaving your watches on top of your hifi speakers!

Seriously tho.......what about computer hard drives ? Any evidence for effects ? Anyone ?

 

Not that I've seen. The magnetic field from a hard drive should be pretty small.

I would have thought that a bigger threat to watches probably comes from the magnetic field of CRT monitors.

 

My Tannoy Lancasters killed several watches before I got wise.

Reggae is the rhythm of life, but it's also the touch of death to a 7s26 when coming from 15" speakers at one hundred proper watts per.

Make things fall off the table, too....

 

Man after my own heart chris - how about a Seiko Dubmatic - now that would be a mod !
