Where to get a Seiko 5 repaired?
Discussion
I bought a Seiko 5 from Amazon in the US earlier this year (I wasn't able to find the one I wanted in the UK).
However it now has now stopped working, appears that the counterbalance that makes it wind itself is scrapping along the side of the case. As I bought it off the internet from the US I'm not sure where to take it for a warranty repair. I suspect paying for a repair would cost more than I paid for the watch.
Any suggestions?

I have ordered a Rolson Tool 59230 kit (£8.53) from Amazon so will give the DIY repair approach a go.

Kit arrived yesterday. No instructions so had to simply figure it out. Not that hard really. Turns out it was a simple job to tighten up the screw holding the rotor. Did the fix last night and wore the watch for about an hour before bedtime. This morning the watch is still running! Richard
Actually quite a good feeling having fixed it. Half wondering when it will break again so that I can have another go. Might buy another watch so that I can explore this one more.
Does this mean I have been bitten by the bug?
