Doubts about my Seiko 5
I currently own a Seiko 5 SNKN13J which houses a 7626-04A0 movement.
Doubt 1:
Is this a good seiko selection/movement? I do feel a bit uncomfortable knowing that this Seiko 5 doest not match the 5 criteria of a theorized Seiko 5 as the crown of my watch is at the 3 o' clock position rather than at 4. Ive heard that this is due to the movement used in the watch itself. I would also like to know if this is a good, accurate (keeping in mind tha slight flaw of accuracy at this price point) and reliable.
Doubt 2:
The rotor of the movement in this watch is ever so slightly not as smooth rotating as say in some watches i saw from Rado, Titan and Fossil. But whilst i was wondering if this meant my purchase was faulty, i saw a video on YouTube which hinted that this is the case for Seiko watches as the mechanism for winding the spring with this rotor is different from say other watch brands and movements. I just want to know if this is the case or if my watch is actually faulty
Regarding accuracy, only you can tell if that particular watch is accurate. You can look online to see how accurate Seiko says the watch should be for comparison, but each watch is a little different.
As for the rotor, I would guess it’s normal, but I’ll defer to somebody who owns one. I will say that I have a Citizen that makes a ton of noise when the rotor winds, but others on here assure me that’s a normal “feature” of that particular movement. I think some, usually cheaper, movements are just like that.
