so either buy a Seiko monster or a Casio G shock

Did Seiko get the bugs worked out of the Kenitic Quartz?
Are the solar G-shocks worth the bucks reliability wise?

I have a square faced, 3 dial Seiko auto chronograph. Start.stop
buttons are located at the 12 oclock position, rather then the usual 9
and 3. It still runs, but the winder weight bushing is badly worn.
Ive taken it to a couple watch makers,..battery changers basicly..and
no one knows anything about them or wanted to fix it.
In fact,...one of them ****ed up my Commander quartz. No longer
chimes, and will only run for a few minutes at a time.

Got any suggestions on how to ID the first watch, and who to send it
to for repair? Same with the quartz.

Gunner, G-shock 24/7, various Seikos for dress. Soviet pin lever
for fun.
