Usage and Care of Vintage Seiko LM
Note
:
Always set day and date with the hour hand between 4 & 6, and during PM hours
, to avoid breaking the watch and to preserve best function of the watch. If you set the day date function at anywhere between 10 & 2, it can break the function in Seiko LM models.
Do not flip day/date too fast or too often for best care.
Always turn days and dates slowly and gently
and set as infrequently as possible for best care and least wear and least aging.
Avoid using manual wind function
with vintage automatic watches as it is unnecessary and adds more wear, friction and aging to the watch. Charge the watch by kinetic movement (motion) instead.
If you have any questions about this lovely piece of machinery, please don't hesitate to contact me anytime.
This watch was designed to be water resistant & shock resistant. However, I have not and would never test these features on any vintage watch and
highly recommend not dropping or exposing your vintage watch to water/rain/moisture
.
This watch is very old. Water and shock damage should be avoided always with vintage watches regardless of specifications and original designs and are not guaranteed.
Service history is unknown. Sold as is. For daily use, a full service is recommended.

My Purpose
I am an honest seller and will never cheat someone or knowingly sell any watches with undisclosed problems. My main purpose is to help you find a vintage watch that is reliable and just what you are looking for. If for any reason you are not satisfied, I would like an opportunity to resolve or correct any issues so please let me know and we can work out any issues that may arise.
Returns
So far I have not had watches have arrive to buyers damaged or not working properly, however vintage watches are machines, old machines, and can break at any time, so if there are any problems with your watch when it arrives, please let me know! I do accept returns and I am very reasonable, understanding and helpful, and not a greedy seller.
