I have my SKX007 from over 20 years ago. It has been dormant for years as my SRP777 seems to take over. I would like to wear it more often.
Here is my problem: Whenever I think I have wound the watch enough, sometime during the day it stops. This has always been the case since new.
What would you do?
1) Get the 7S26A movement serviced.
2) Replace with a hacking and manual winding NH36 make movement?
3) Or?
Sincerely,
John

Have it serviced
The North American seiko service center is in Mahwah, NJ. Had an orange monster with 7S26 that I brought there to have serviced. Only took a week or two and was very inexpensive. I think they just swap the movement though.
You can’t wind a 7S26 movement directly using the crown.
You have to move the watch to jumpstart the winding motion. Whereas, the NH36 can be directly wound using the crown. ...
