ah..for this unfortunately, we need to adjust it once a month. or whenever the last day of the next month is diff. out watch will always run to the end of its calendar, which is 31. so if a month has 30 days, we have to push it up to the next day lo.

that's why we have those perpetual calendar watches

shaking must be left to the booty. not watches.

sorry. bad joke.

winding a seiko 7s26 which i think is your movement, will take a whole's day of wearing to get it fully wound. has a max reserve of 28 hours. but that's max. i find that it takes quite a while to be fully wound. once i left my baby mons, it ran for almost 2 days! haha.

just got the skx031 yesterday... wee!!

@Nitheon

thanks! i got this piece used..but its in a fantastic condition so i could not let it up. haha. set me back with rubber strap RM250 with postage from the philipines.

@Alcip

hehe. thanks dude! when i first wanted to buy my first seiko, the snzf17, i comtemplated this as well. but chose not to cos it was smaller, on the spec sheet. which now i completely regret. this will be my restoration project lo. hehee.

im still in search of a skx033. doesnt matter if its preowned.

good morning, and a happy new year to all seiko owners.

back to work, after such a long holiday...even my monster looks malas.

hehehe. its a slow start to a 4 day week. which i love...

just to update you guys, the skx031 is sort of a restoration project im taking up, some pics upon its removal. have ordered a wjean super oyster (unfortunately not the V2 which has solid end links), soon will order a yobokies sapphire crystal too.

happy new year! hehe.

ya lo. something more exciting..altho i have so many seiko divers to collect. haha. for the skx031 i wont mod anything except for a oyster bracelet and the sapphire glass. but those aftermarket sapphire crystals arent cheap. about 50USD. dang. but i guess its worth the money spent?

by the way bro, do you know any shops which i can walk in and buy seiko parts? im looking for the bezel and case back gaskets. the ones came with the 031 are old, feel grainy, and i'd be safe and change them one shot.


oh ya, if i can find a 6105 cheap, i'd make it a second project haha.

thanks dude.

but i did just get a reply from thong sia, they told me to come over and buy from them. the bezel gasket is RM10. compared to online, i saw a seller selling 7USD.

shall go to them and ask for other parts as well. i actually expected them to tell me they dont keep parts for skx031 anymore, since its an old watch. but lucky me!

thats nice man. but i dont seem to like much of the seiko chronographs tho. not sure why. haha.

agreed. their sportura models are nice tho.. but for that price? i'd rather get a tissot chrono

yes they do. in their reply to me they told me to come over to their counter to make any purchase of parts.

Went to Thong Sia at central plaza today,



Bought my stuff; 1x bezel gasket (rm10) 1x back case gasket (rm10) and crown+stem+gasket (rm33)

a black monster would retail about 700-800 after discount. buying online for a grey piece will set you back about 500-600.

nice..did you get it yet?

anyone here looking to buy nato/zulu straps? i might be doing a bulk order. lemme know who's interested.

all of a sudden the orange strap is very tempting. haha.

pic taken from WUS.

from US bro i asked one seller, he is willing to sell bulk..of cos the nato and zulu price abit diff..and the normal SS and PVD is also diff. lemme know which would you be interested in and i'll get back to you

he's innocently letting you know how he found central plaza. thats all.

anyhow, i went there last week. its beside standard chartered building, which is behind pavilion. easy peasy.

ah, thanks. i just checked it out. nice range of straps. but im pretty sure i can get a much lower price than the guys at wrist solutions hehehehe but i need to confirm on the range the seller has. wide, but not sure wide enough

no confirmations yet tho, i'll see how's the response on interest and i'll let you guys know the pricing, etc..

im pretty sure its 26th also. no worries, theres always a directory there

that's quite a while. i tot of leaving my 7s26 with them, but i just tot, i'd buy a new cheap seiko 5 with the same movement. faster ma

like Jing-leBelle said, time for a new piece
