'The only disappointment was the original, but not very high end bracelet came with the watch' - True!
My bracelet of my Seiko 5 is kinda bad quality though, the black metal chrome seems like peel off after some normal usage.
But nevertheless, the watch itself still FTW!

Worth to get ?

just got the skx031 yesterday... wee!!

Beautiful piece, bro.

How much did it set you back?

Fluffy,
where did you get the skx031?
I thought it's not in production anymore....
Nice piece anyway...congrats!!

@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.

Guys , I'm still new to watches. Owned SNDC09P1 quartz chrono as my first Seiko.

I'm looking at this model-SNDB75P1 for an upgrade. Price that was quoted to me is RM733.

If I'm going to spend about RM 700-800 for a watch, Is this model or other similar series worth the price? I like watch with chrono for it's look.



Model Number: CRITERIA SNDB75P1
Calibre No.: 7T92-0LC0 S.
Three-fold clasp with push button release.
1/20 second chronograph,up to 12 hours.
Solid bracelet. Water resistant 100 m.
Screw case back.

just found this thread & happy to see such a big seiko lover community here

instead of going through all 53 pages, hope u don't mind if i just ask lah ... where can i get all the diy tools to do simple servicing? eg ...

shorten / lengthen bracelet ( the connecting rods)
change bracelet (that end spring bar)
change / mod bezel (using penknife to prise open now)
clean & lubricate hard-to-turn bezel (where to buy the lube & o-ring / seals?)

Thanks

A watch spare parts shop at Selangor Building, near Petaling Street.

thanx brother ck77 I'll pay them a visit & see what goodies they have ... hope they sell to diy fellas

Where can I change my watch glass coz i just cracked it by hit the glass door when i walked out from the shop =____=

thong sia

Nice watch but I feel that your wrist is too small

New year present for myself today.

Me too so malas, my Seiko Automatic also stop working after long weekend. hahaha..have to shake it to move again~~
Happy new year and all the best for you guys!

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.

wah bro fluffy..
now u in restoration/modification level ah?
happy new year bro!

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.

sorry bro,
im not know where
can find it..
u wait maybe other members
will help u ya
