I recently ordered and received the #SKXA35, cal. 7S26-0028 yellow-faced divers watch from Amazon.  It came with the Seiko warranty card and arrived in new condition.  Unfortunately, the watch is gaining two hours per day.  This has not changed in the few days I've had it.

I've had the black-faced version of this same watch for about a year and have been quite happy with it.  The black faced watch gains or loses about 45 seconds per day (usually gains), depending on my wear and activity pattern.  Not great, but adequate for a mechanical automatic.  It's been reliable in normal wear and in diving, though tight time regulation has never been its strong point.  Both watches have the Malaysia movement and are identical, except for face color and serial number.  Black watch serial number is 6006xx and the yellow faced version is 8N05xx.  The yellow faced watch runs so fast that, when placed side by side, the second hand of the yellow faced watch will visibly race past the second hand of the black faced version in under a minute.  I've had quite a number of mechanical watches and KNOW this is NOT NORMAL - this condition is a manufacturing defect and not a condition that will correct itself with wear.  I doubt it can be even adjusted.  Its just junk.  In fact, it speaks of incredibly poor quality control by Seiko, normally a rock solid watch producer.  Not any more, apparently.

Needless to say its going back to Amazon for a refund.  Buyer beware, on this watch, and perhaps any other using this movement by Seiko.

My brother had a 1970's version of this watch (red & blue "Pepsi" style with stainless band) that he wore through his career as a Navy SEAL.  He dropped it out of a plane during a parachute jump (clasp released as he pulled the chute cord) and he later found it on the ground, intact and running.  The crystal was later replaced several times due to deep gouging during training and missions.  Yet the watch kept time well until the late 1990's when it simply wore out.  He still has it as a memento of those days.  The indestructible Seiko.  Clearly the new Seikos are not of the same ... caliber?
