My seiko orange monster gains about 5 min every 30 min
My seiko orange monster suddenly started running extremely fast gaining about 5 min in 30 min. I thought maybe it was overwound so I let it sit untill it stopped, picked it up shook it and it is still running fast. Any Ideas?

Dont do anything!the watch needs service.perhaps somehow the watch fallen in a hard surface and something moved or broke in the balance wheel.the hairspring the pallet or the wheel have serious damage.to have your watch healthy wateresistance and accurate try to find a seiko authorized service center to repair your watch!
Unscrew the back and look for the little handle sticking up over the release spring. It has a small + and a- on either side. CAREFULLY push the handle to what you want (-) but do NOT put your small screwdriver down so far you interfere with the spring mechanism. I ruined 2 like that. Hand screw back on, time with a good quartz and set until you are happy. Most run plus/minus 15 sec a day.
