Hello RW,

I disagree, the G757s look much better in my collection
Re. your O674 - please contact me with your email and I'll send you a PDF manual.

However what you describe does not sound good.

Have you tried with removing the battery for 1 day and then restarting the watch by inserting it?

BT, I didn't say the G757's would look better in my collection (although I'd argue they would )); I said one of those would look right at home ...

Your tip with removing the battery was a "D'OH!" moment - hadn't thought of that before ;% But I never had heard of such a fault. If some LCD segments fail or the pushbuttons don't work you can understand what's wrong. But a watch counting 38-39-10-11... Inserting the battery back after a few seconds didn't change anything; however, after about twelve hours without the battery the watch is now working fine again. Good old Seiko quality.
No wonder this circuit failed. It says 'Made in Japan'." - "What do you mean, Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan."

Thanks for the tip, BT! As the 0674 is not a watch I wear I could have lived with the wrong time on this one.
But still, there is something special about a watch showing the right time. )

Old two-tonics might be a bit "prickly" but he's as sharp as any when it comes to bond watches...

I love happy endings !

Hello Rainer,
Could it be possible to get a scan of your Seiko Moonraker ad?
