Hi! Yes, that's what I mean. My guess is that maybe the 7S26 comes completelly unadjusted. The 7S36 can be adjusted in 3 basic positions (probably crown down, crown left and dial up), and the 7S55, in 5 positions.

But as they don't test the watch for days, they don't mention that the watch was adjusted.

But, as I said, it is just a guess, because I sometimes I think that the 7S36 is not better adjusted than a 7S26 due to the production volume. It is too much watches to be adjusted.

I don't know how it is made, because I heard that Rolex, for example, adjust the watches compeltelly by machines. I still don't believe, or can't believe how a machine can adjusted a watch, as it is such a job that requires experience and sensitivity more than anything else.

And I don't know how Seiko do that, if it does.

But as the 7S55 is not produced in large quantities, I think it is possible that they come adjusted, probably, one by one, by a watchmaker.
Since the hairsprings comes from the assembly line perfectly concentric and balanced, it may not be too difficult.

But the conclusion that we can achieve is that, if a 7S55 is very well adjusted, a 7S26 can be adjusted at the same level as well.


I think that the bad thing about collecting Seiko is that is difficult to get information, specially from Seiko. The only person that could assure all the things is someone from Seiko.
