Hey 🙂 So I recently purchased a new Seiko sur495. I went to set the day for the first time after wearing it for a couple weeks, and as I was scrolling through the days, it stopped in between a day. I can't scroll anymore to set the day. The day wheel is still moving like it's supposed to throughout the day so far since it's not in between a day anymore, but I can't set it. 

Whats the likely cause of this? And is it worth getting it repaired since the watch is about $200? 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 🙂

What were the hands presenting (what time was showing) when you tried to make this adjustment?

 

Pull out the crown to the first click.
2. Turn the crown until the previous day’s date appears in the calendar frame.
3. Turn the crown in the opposite direction until the desired language (bilingual) for the day
before the desired day appears in the calendar frame.
* For Cal. 7009 and 7019, push the crown back in to the normal position and then push it repeatedly
to set the day.
4. Pull out the crown to the second click, and advance the hour and minute hands until the
desired date and day appears.
* If your watch has three hands, pull out the crown when the second hand is pointing to 12 o’clock.
5. Adjust the time by turning the crown in the desired direction.
6. Push the crown back in to the normal position.
* If your watch has three hands, push the crown back in to the normal position in accordance with a
time signal for “00” seconds.
Notes on calendar setting:
1 Do not change the calendar between 9:00 P.M. and 4:00 A.M, as it may not change
properly. If it is necessary to set the calendar during that time period, first change the
time to any time outside those hours, set the calendar and then reset the correct time.
2 When the day shifts automatically to the next day, the other language will temporarily
appear

Thanks for the help and the informative reply!! This fixed the problem. Didn't know how to set it I guess 😑 I appreciate it.

    • Thank you @Mark. I only became a Patreon subscriber 5 or 6 months ago, but I draw so much value here. If you come up with future contribution or support opportunities, I will be on board.
    • Hi Mike I did a ships clock a long while ago, not a Hermle though and without getting the beast in my hands to refresh my memory I can’t recall the timing.  This doesn’t help I know but will start the grey matter turning.
    • Of course it will continue Richard.
    • I have stripped and cleaned a Hermle ships clock. It was just oily, no major faults, and I reassembled it, following my photos in reverse order. The time train is fine but the strike train will not play the ships bell strike for half-past. Ships bells play a four hour sequence for the 'watches' and play double 'ding' for the hour and the double dings plus one for the half past (eg half past the second hour is 'ding-ding' 'ding-ding' 'ding'). Sounds complicated but it isn't really. The strike wheel consists of pairs of bumps (for the ding-ding) and no single bumps. There must me some mechanism on the half-past that lifts the strike lever over one of the bumps so only one ding is played. When I get to a half past, it still plays double ding. I have a feeling it is to do with the lever in front of the rack (there is a sprung attachment  on it) and the position of the wheel (to the right) with the two pins that lets that lever fall, but no matter where I place that wheel I cannot get a single ding at half past! Please can someone help with advice on positioning so I can fix this? BTW Happy Easter 🐣
