I wear (24/7) a Seiko dive watch that I've had for over 20 years. It keeps perfect time and the only maintenance I've ever had on it is to change the battery two or three times. It has stopped now and while it's probably only the battery again I would like to know where to take it for a good cleaning, re-sealing, and battery change because with the right care I think it will last longer than I will and I love it.
Any suggestions?

If it is a dive computer send it to Dive Supply in Bangkok, just sent my sick Suunto Stinger up there: http://www.divesupply.com/locations.php

I can't help with a watchsmith but I can understand why you want to keep it because some Seiko watches are incredibly tough.
I've been wearing the same one, that I keep mainly for work, for over ten years now and it hasn't even got a scratch on the face and that's in an engineering environment where it gets constantly battered around aircraft engines and that sort of thing. I don't know what sort of glass they use but it must be very hard indeed to put up with that sort of treatment everyday and even the case and bracelet are only lightly marred.

^ Yes, mine still looks brand new (with an outside cleaning) and as I said, I literally never take it off. I've worn it for 20 years diving, swimming, showering....etc., and until the batteries run out, it keeps perfect time to the very second! That's why I want to maintain it and keep it going.... plus for a 20 year old watch, it still looks stylish as well!
