【One Thing Lost a Day】Day. 73 SEIKO Strap｜Goodbye, Merry!

The original strap felt like it was breaking fast, but it still lasted for years and years without knowing it, and it didn't break in the end. After supporting it for seven years, it finally retired smoothly today.

This watch was a birthday gift from the young master seven years ago. Until the beginning of March this year, it suddenly stopped rotating without warning. It was sent to Baodao Watch Store to replace the capacitor inside, and also changed the waterproof ring and oil washing maintenance by the way. 3/ 10 The watch returned to normal operation.

I decided to send an email to Seiko customer service to inquire about the strap of this watch. Although I didn't hold much hope, it is better to ask than not to ask, and there is a chance to ask. Unexpectedly, two hours after the email was sent, there was a new email in the mailbox, and it turned out to be a reply from the customer service!!! The customer service said that it is currently out of stock, and it needs to be ordered from Japan. The cost is $4,950, and there is no need to pay a deposit in advance.

Of course it's good! Immediately place an order on 3/16,

However, the exact arrival time is unknown, and we can only wait for customer service notification.

Unexpectedly, I waited until noon on the summer solstice, and saw the caller ID of the mobile phone: Taiwan Seiko watch maintenance customer service!!!!!! Immediately picked up "Miss, your watch belt is in stock! Just during our working hours You can come and change, no need to make an appointment in advance.”

2022.07.1 I worked from home on this day, but I took leave in the afternoon. In the afternoon, I came to the Seiko Taipei Service Center, which is in an office building on Jianguo North Road.

The lady inside asked me to confirm the style of the strap I ordered in March, and it was confirmed that there was no problem. The other party took it to a place I couldn’t see at the back for replacement. In less than ten minutes, the lady replaced the strap and showed it to me.

"Wow! It's too beautiful! It's exactly the same color as before."

Very satisfied with this original watch strap, although it is different from the original style, but the color is the same, I love it ❤️ The whole watch is like new (sprinkler). What I love most about this watch is its strap, which is light coffee with a gentle pinkish orange color. Wearing it, the skin will look very energetic and very white, and because of this, my mood today is very beautiful!

Although it cost a total of $7,250 before and after (2,300 for 3/10 repairs + 4,950 for 7/1 straps), you can go into the next seven years, or even ten years, which is a good deal overall, you can keep your eyes closed. ;D

Since elementary school, I have been used to wearing a watch in my hand. A new watch can only last for three years at most. Maybe I didn’t buy a certain price, and the life of the watch can only last for one to three years. But it does not mean that buying expensive is necessarily good, it is more important to suit yourself.

Thanks to Seiko for producing a watch that I can wear for more than ten years, and I can wear it for twenty years without any problem!
Thank you also to the lady who replaced the strap for me today, it's super efficient.

Finally, thank you for the original strap that stayed with me for 2,745 days, almost a busy time in my twenties. I am full of respect and infinite gratitude to you. You are like my Merry, silently guarding and accompanying me, but one day I will still say goodbye to you, thank you.

Merry 🥺 Bye bye!
