·Hi guys
I picked up a rather nice Seiko 6246-9000 and took it in for a service.
My watchmaker said that it was the first time it was being serviced (oh dear!) in it's life. He said the mainspring was in good condition so reused.
My watchmaker also told me that after it's service it was running 11 mins slow in 90 mins before it starts to keep within +3 seconds from a dead stop as Seiko had a start up problem on this model and that the next time it wakes from a complete dead stop it may be ok and keep +3 seconds.
Is this normal? Or is there something still a component in the movement that needs to be replaced?
Thanks for all your help
