text: Took a yearold Seiko Perpetual Calendar watch in for battery replacement When I dropped it off the employeeowner told me he could replace the battery but would not set the calendar I told him no problem as I would done it before and had the instructions I was frankly surprised at his comment It is not that toughnnGot the watch back paid my and left When I got home I noticed the date was stuck between and No problem I thought I will do a full reset and just start from scratch nnThe first simple step is to pull the crown out one click hold the button for two seconds and wait for the watch to drive the second hand to zero and the date to nnThe second hand drove to and the date never budged The watch worked perfectly until the battery began running low a few weeks ago In minutes he managed to mess up the internal workings of my watch Guess that is why he was reluctant to agree to actually set it when he finishednnIll go to a certified Seiko repair facility from now on
