Your watch is guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship for two years from the date of purchase. To take advantage of this guarantee, all you need to do is to present the guarantee given by the authorized Grand Seiko dealer from whom the watch was purchased.

If your watch requires a minor adjustment, strap replacement or battery change, it will be carried out at the nearest National Service Center. If a major overhaul or repair is needed, our Grand Seiko specialist watchmakers in the SEIKO Premium Watch Service Station in Japan will take care of your watch.

To ensure that your watch remains in perfect working order, please take the following simple procedures:

• Avoid putting the watch too close to strong magnetic fields such as those generated by large TV sets or other large electronic devices.
• When you take the watch off, wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will help enhance the life of the case and gaskets.
• If the watch is exposed to salt water, wash it in fresh water. Do not leave your watch in a place where the temperature drops below 5°C or rises above 35°C for prolonged periods.
• If your watch has a mechanical movement, try not to leave the watch unworn for too long. Your Grand Seiko watch performs best when worn for at least 10 hours a day.
• We recommend that you have your watch checked and overhauled periodically. Optimally, this should be done every two to three years.

As time goes by, it is possible that you may scratch your watch slightly. We hope this never happens, but if it does, we have a special polishing service available.

You might like to have your watch polished when it is with us for a normal service. Please consult your Grand Seiko retailer for details.

This Grand Seiko polishing service is performed by our very best craftsmen and women. Please take note of the following points:

• Polishing of certain parts may not be possible due to their special construction or material.
• If the damage is severe, it may not be possible to remove it by polishing alone.
• The finish may be very slightly different from the original, as the polishing is done by hand.
• The crown, pushers, case back and the emblem on the band cannot be polished.
