guess I got a lemon

This watch was purchased as a graduation gift June 2005, and at over $300 i didn't think it was "affordable" as the other reviewer stated. i thought it would be a special long-lived gift. Boy was i wrong, in the 2 years since it's purchase, it has been sent back to Seiko for repairs 2 times and i'm about to send it back for a 3rd repair! Little hour markers fell off 1st, then the face started spinning around inside the case. and now it's doing that again! It must be a lemon, but the Seiko repair folks have never responded to my inquiries other than to mail it back after repairs. never an apology or anything!
