Hi all

My brother’s Seiko Kinetic is broken. The second hand jumps two seconds every other second (I.e. it skips a beat). When the crown is out to the first position, it feels crunchy and nothing sets. When fully out the time sets ok.

Any suggestions who might be able to take a look at it, other than sending back to Seiko for a service. Any independent Seiko experts around who may have an idea what the problem is and if it is worth servicing?

Alternatively, any views on potential value as is, or if fixed? My brother is open to selling it on either way.

Many thanks for any constructive comments.

Cheers

Ben
