My Seiko SKX007K2 is losing time so much nowadays. I tend to set my watch 3-4 minutes fast to make sure I don't miss the first of my two trains home at the end of the day. Today I thought I was 2 minutes early but in fact I was 2 minutes late. I find that my watch can go from 3-4 minutes fast to 2-3 minutes slow in a week.
Is there anything I can do to 'fix' the watch? Or should I just forget about the watch and get another model?

If it has personal value to you then take it to a watchmaker and have it serviced. That watch won't cost the earth to be seen to properly either. Otherwise just get another
How old is it? Probably just needs to be regulated depending how old it is. Shouldnt cost more than £50.

I wear a Richard Mille.
I'd have to bankrupt a small African nation to afford one of those!!Not really. I bought it for myself. I've found the watch a bit heaver and a bit chunkier than I was expecting it to be. Can you suggest any other watches that have a similar style to my Seiko but aren't as heavy and chunky?If it has personal value to you then take it to a watchmaker and have it serviced.

Are watchmakers also jewellers? How can I find my nearest watchmaker? And don't go all lmgtfy.com on me!
I bought it new from Creation Watches in January 2013!
£50 is more than I'm prepared to spend on it really. I suppose I would spend more than £50 on another watch so......

Any pics?
Are they really worth it? I see some online at 60k and some even at 100k!

What about something like this? http://www.creationwatches.com/prod...t-automatic-skz211j1-skz211j-skz211-3810.html
Some of them will be watchmakers as they work on them in store at the back, other jewellers will send the watch away to be seen to. Best off enquiring I guess although I think you may well find a few via Google Maps searching for watchmakers in your area (I did and found one down the road, been there for decades and I never even noticed
).Speaking of watchmakers, my watch is being worked on this weekend - Motorcity in MI apologised for the delay, they've been swamped apparently. It's been a long ~5 months without it.

Seems to be the current price at the mo, many places are low on stock. Can't believe they were £200!
.
I think you should let me have this watch as a token of our internet fwiendship.
Plus, I have you on LinkedIn...so that makes us like, best buds...right?

Dude, I didn't BUY it. I tried it on when comparing the 2 (rolex vs omega). The Mrs would kill me at the moment. I just sank 1200quid on a new exhaust, which she doesn't know the full price of 
I said to her I'd sell a couple, then I'd get this, so then at least she'll think it's covered the costs

Haha, it's like the old saying "I really hope my gf/wife doesn't sell on my stuff when I die, she'll only sell it for half of what I paid!"
BUT when you do buy it, you'll let me have it? ja?
How much was that watch anyway? Would be tempted to sell the Hamilton and fund the rest...wait, just seen its £2700.
Maybe not!

I don't wear a watch. I don't care what the time is.
Or she'll have it valued and realise you lied to her for all those years
Meh, we'll be dead by then
Everyone does it!
Cool story bro.

Ha what is time anyway... really? A human invention, created for us to be able to comprehend a start and end point in a linear fashion. The timeline of life. When really, there is no such thing as time.
