Service & Maintenance - Seiko SNM035 "Land Monster" - The First Service

This is the first watch in the collection to be serviced. I bought the Seiko SNM035 via Amazon in February 2012. The Land Monster has (over the years) faced progressive opaqueness on the dial crystal.


This year, I decided to send it in for service and maintenance since it has been more than 12 years since I got the watch. I sent it to the authorized dealer in Malaysia, Thong Sia Watch Company. Although no longer under warranty, as official distributor of Seiko watches, the company will have the resources of the brand to repair anything that may need repairing.

After a month, on 20 November 2023, at a cost of RM200 (+RM4 for credit card payment), I got it back.

 

 The watch looks like new and timing has been impeccable. Below is the watch on my wrist.

 

My advice is that, whenever possible, send your watch back to the brand. Private service outfit may be able to do it but they may not have 100% in terms of parts especially for older watches.
