I own 6 seiko watches (both automatics and quartz), and had a very good experience with all of them, until I purchased this one. I did not think much about puchasing the watch with a movement from Malaysia (big mistake!), because it is supossed to be built to Seiko quality standards.

Well, date mechanism does not work (both day of the week and day of the month), which is very annoying. Contacted the seller (Imperial Watches), and all I got as response was a recommendation to send it to Seiko for service. It is a logical solution, but 1) should have expected some more service (I had another issue with a watch in the past, and got far better service from another of Amazon's sellers) and 2) I am not supossed to have this problem in the first place!!!!

If you are interested in this product, think twice about these Malaysia movements and Imperial Watches.

Hope this helps you make a good buying decision.
