From a Seiko service center? I’ve never had a Seiko serviced. Did it come back “good as new” as do Rolex?

Yes it went to a Seiko service center. I just wanted the movement serviced. It wasn't polished but it was/in great shape
anyway.

Did you get the movement replaced? That is a cheaper option then paying to service the movement.

It was serviced. I dropped it off at a Seiko dealer and they sent it off. I'm sure there is a mark up but Its worth it to me for convenience. It was less $$ than expected.

I love this watch!!!!

How much is a new movement installed?

The 7s26 use to cost around $46. Looks like like they are selling for around $65. So with the cost at 65 I would say the total would be around 100.
