I've got a weird situation. I sold my Seiko Monster to my brother and it has been gaining an increasing amount of time each day. Its up to +40s a day now.
I sent it back to Yorkshire Watches and they have said that it has a very irregular beat and has "signs of being tampered with"and that the warranty *has *been invalidated. When I asked for details they said that there are scratches on the back which look like the caseback have been removed but they actually haven't looked inside yet and are planning on making the decision on whether the caseback has been opened based on how much torque they need to use to open it themselves.
Sounds very dodgy to me. If it has been opened and tampered with it was sold to me like that!
