Does purchase of this watch through Massdrop still allow for Seiko 3-year warranty or is there a Massdrop warranty (perhaps of shorter duration) that supersedes the manufacturer's warranty?
Based on the description and the lack of mention of a warranty, I don't think it has either Seiko's three year warranty or a Massdrop one year warranty. The only Seiko I've bought here was an SBDC033 Blue Sumo automatic, and it had a one year Massdrop warranty, but that was last year. That I can recall, I've never seen a Seiko offered here with the Seiko warranty, but I could be wrong.
Unfortunately, Massdrop staff seldom answer messages regarding warranties/provenance; let's see if they answer your query.
Thanks for clarifying this point. I recently had a Seiko Cotura Perpetual Calendar watch die on me shortly after the one year warranty lapsed. I did not purchase it through Massdrop, but I am leary now about buying a Seiko without a longer warranty. I think I will pass on this one.
I hear ya... : ) Ever since late last year, Massdrop seems to have made changes in the way they operate. I remember staff were more open and participated in discussions; now they mostly post the canned "drop status" messages and nothing more. And for reasons I can't understand, they refuse (most of the time) to answer these simple questions about warranties... as it stands, I've become extremely selective about the drops I participate in.
