Seiko wall clock in need of repair
Bob
fast. I've changed the battery and adjusted the plus/minus to the
middle but it still runs fast. What needs to be fixed? There is a #
on the back but not sure if it's the model. QPL101B. Thanks.

Have you tried adjusting it to the minus side?

If your clock has "standard" holes in the clock face and in the hands,
it might be easier to repace the whole movement than to fix this one.

as Richard mentioned, quartz clocks are not normally repaired, if your
clock is a standard timepiece, ie time only, no chimes or calender
function, then the movement is replaced with a new one.
the trimmers on the old movements can only adjust for a few seconds per
day, if its outside this range then a new movement is the only option
you can fit a seiko quartz movement which should drop straight in and use
the same hands, or fit a standard quartz movement with the correct hand
shaft lenght, and still use the same hands, you may need to adjust the
hand holes to suit.
the movement in your clock, does it have a clear case and you can see
moving parts?, or is it just a plain black case?

such things.
He often states that the very nature of the automatic is that your wrist
does something different every day. Thus the subtle discrepancies. He
would say to wear the watch longer, and evaluate over time. Lay it in
different positions when not on the wrist (or do you wear at nite.) Now a
pure mechanical, that he would obsess a bit about, and try to get it to
perfection.
I too sufferred from 6 sec's a day on my Krieger...ultimately, my obsession
led to a timing, which solved my nightmare.
But remember, they are mechanical, pieces of art, and the beuaty is in the
workings of the movement. I'd wait a little longer and track your results
at a few different times in the day.
